Masturbation Abstinence: Paradoxical T Increase but With Better Hair?

Hi,

There are many anti-masturbation crusaders out there who peddle (perhaps for religious or moral reasons) the theory that masturbation is harmful; I don't take them seriously and never have. Lately I've considered this issue in the context of male pattern baldness and read most of the threads here on this forum as well elsewhere.

I've discovered an interesting consensus: abstaining from masturbation increases Testosterone (which can be seen in more body hair, more "manly"/horny behavior); this is concerning and would lead you to expect hair loss, which is usually associated with these symptoms; but paradoxically, better scalp hair growth as well, despite increased T. So it is a paradox.

I'm posting it here because I've read enough of these paradoxical experiences: increased T but better hair during abstinence.

This is true. T increases after one week of abstinence. I've also experienced more body hair, deeper voice, more masculine qualities etc, via abstinence, but the the important point is that I'm not intoxicated with DHT via the sex act, thus my hairloss has stopped and is now slowly restoring.
I wouldn't mention it had I not experienced it first-hand.

my energy, concentration levels went up, hair fall reduced to almost none, more energy to hump women and pump iron, ... I have noticed many terminal hairs becoming thick hairs growing faster than others on both my temples, my hair is also looking thicker and fuller.

I noticed some physical changes as well, I can seem to grow facial hair a hell of alot quicker then before, my skin looks more healthy and what was also unusual is that the hair on my head has gotten alot thicker?!?!?! has anyone else had this?

Note that these posters are describing contradictory things. On the one hand, stopping masturbation has led to (1) more facial/body hair, (2) the desire to "hump women and pump iron," etc. These are all increased-T symptoms. But at the same time they are claiming their hair improved. And I've seen enough of these posts to indicate some kind of trend.

Any thoughts on this?
