Dr. John Kirk answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Yes, but, no.: Mostly genetic. The testosterone increase from masturbation is not focused on the follicular area of the hair and thus should not have an affect. Dha the precursor to the testosterone is the primary culprit. Also stress which increases risk of hair loss may be reduced with masturbation! good deal i'd say!
