A member asked:

Does thinking about sex a lot cause your hormone levels to raise causing dht to raise and lose your hair?

Dr. Robert Killian answered

Specializes in General Practice

Myths: No. Every male aged 22 thinks of sex a lot. Several times per minute, actually. This common and normal experience does not in any way change hormone levels or cause hair loss.
