Is There Actually A Correlation Between Masturbation And Increased Dht / T? My Scalp Says There Is.

[buckthorn]

I know this conversation has been had a million times. To me there is a very strict correlation between sexual arousal, masterbation and intense scalp inflammation. It's simple -

times where I don't masturbate for a few days - scalp inflammation is drastically reduced.

When I masturbate 1-2 times a day - scalp inflammation is insane and constant.

When I look at p**rn for an extended period of time and masturbate - scalp inflammation is even worst. unbearable.

While looking at p**rn - my testicles start to tingle and I immediately get burning in hairline and itching / crawling in midscalp and crown.

I know y'all will think this is funny or stupid, but I promise it's 100% accurate and to me very interesting. I just recently started to abstain from masturbating, and reduce it to only twice a week. So far, it has made an IMMENSE difference.

Say what you will, but you guys know me and know that I am very very overly skeptical of everything. So, this is the truth.

How is this possible? can it really make such a difference.

Why are you assuming that "itching" equates to "inflammation" ?

Why are you assuming that "itching" equates to "inflammation" ?

itching, burning and "crawling" are all straight indicators of inflammation. Healthy skin does not itch. Especially to that extent. Blood is rushing to and accumulating in your vessels due to injury. Your body responds with itching, burning, etc..In this case the injury is DHT / T destroying your follicles.

I hear you buckthorn. When I have a release my scalp starts itching within minutes no joke. It won' start to subside until 16 hours later. I guess the dht drops at that point. I also get major shedding as well. I have turned down sex just because I don't feel like dealing with inflammtion and ithing. Definite connection 110%!

im pretty sure watching p**rn would increase testosterone.

are there legit studies on this? I tried to find some, but most were garbage.

jesus man, seriously? sounds exactly like me. As much as I "want" to look at p**rn and rub one out, I don't want to even more. Perhaps balding will make me a better person after all, haha.

My favourite toy was my firetruck b**ch, I used to play with that motherfucker all day long then I learned about sex and I played with my motherfucker ten times a day all year long.

*Everyday normal MOFO.

Its even hard to say that there is correlation between DHT and inflammation or itching,because last times i got very bad itching and inflammation in donor area,where hair should be immune to DHT.

I actually believe what you’re saying here is true. I notice when I’m more horny my scalp tends to itch more. I think the increase in T/DHT that would make a guy horny would obviously increase the likelihood of hair shedding and scalp inflammation if you’re sensitive to it.
A lot of other things spike DHT levels what I’ve read. Like coffee exercise and stress. Might as well not even move lol. J/k. But the fact of being sensitive to DHT is the culprit and a crappy, frustrating genetic trait.

I wrote my thoughts about this on another thread so I will copy some from there and add some new tgoughts as well..

According to abstinence studies after 7 days without ejaculation there's a big spike in Testosterone levels, but it goes back down the next day. After 3 weeks without ejaculation, T levels are slightly higher than baseline on the chart, and didn't reduce as much from Fapping, I don't know about DHT though.
this is why at one point, I was on a schedule to ejaculate every 6 days, Lol.

So, I personally believe that long term abstinence will hurt you in the end. Your body won't stop making T, and sex drive is not the only thing your body uses T for. Ifyour deprive it of orgasm and sexualthoughts long enough, eventually yourbody will probably use your T in otherways.
Look up pics of the Dali llama, He's supposed to be Abstinent. (I guess it'spossible that he's Jacking it secretly, butthat is hard to imagine to be true)
Sometimes his buzz cut is short enough to see his hairline is not complete.

Now with that said, After orgasm, Prolactin levels are elevated for about an hour. There are Prolactin receptors in scalp, andprolactin induces Catagen phase..
at least according to studies on pubmed. but I dont know if I can even believe those studies since Antydhtor had amazing regrowth while taking high doses of cypro, which is known to increase prolactin.. so maybe the anagen extending effects of estrogen is stronger than the catagen promoting effects of prolactin?
I don't know, if the one hour above baseline hasmuch effect but I imagine Jacking offEveryday, would. then that would be higherthan baseline prolactin for an houreveryday. However, Masturbation is not theSame as Sex, the prolactin release iscorrelated with the quality of the orgasm, and after sex there is 4x the level than after Masturbation.
however, prolactin is both good and bad in some ways, it reduces T and DHT and T/DHT also causecatagen/aptosis. A number of experimentaldata indicate that hyperprolactinemiainhibits the activity of 5-alpha-reductase. Prolactin also inhibits GnRH which reducesthe release of Lutenizing hormone, ( LHincreases T production) BUT I have readthat it upregulates Lutenizing Receptors inLeydig Cells( cells in testis that make T) So,it could decrease LH but increase sensitivityto LH,, and may decrease T short ter butincrease it long term...

Also, I could see abstinence from pornagraphy being beneficial maybe. And I think the way you masturbate matters to. Ifyou are spending Hours searching p*rnlooking for that perfect video, increasingyour Testosterone and then having anorgasm not as powerful as sex or powerfulenough prolactin release to counteract thatT inducing p*rn viewing. (There may be some conflictng information on if p*rnviewing increases T, I read one study somewhere that said serum T levels rose 90 minutes after p*rn viewing Withoutfapping)

I know there's limited data on this, but I'm very confident this is the primary reason for the excess premature balding in millennials. Personally, I was a literal p**rn addict from ages 14-20 (I'm talking often 6 hrs per jerk, every day) and since having started nofap, my hair and seb derm has largely stabilized or at least slowed (at a diffuse NW3V, but still).

Rub semen on your scalps and the hair will grow back. Win/win situation.

This guy can't masturbate (unless he pays someone else to do it, lol), but he developed receding hairline and also looks a little bit diffused.

 

[Raphael13]

There is no evidence of this being true. However, maybe there are some people that are extra sensitive to it. Plus itching and burning doesn't mean you are about to lose your hair.

 

[Raphael13]

If masturbation would leave to hair loss then so would sex.

People have actually tried that before. I heard it didn't help lol

 

[Hairfacts]

There is, in fact, more to this picture then DHT and Testosterone. Please note, that DHT is not the main causality to hair loss. DHT has a longer shelf life than testosterone in the body but the resulting issues of inflammation, itching and burning on the skin shows a greater issue. I would recommend having further investigations into your overall health. There are limited studies on this topic because of the variables at play. Hair loss is most likely occurring in this instance due to an imbalance in nutrients. In this case, I would strongly suggest resolving the other issues such as nutrition before looking for DHT resolutions.
