Hi,
I’m a 22 year old male who is starting to lose his hair. I’ve always liked to think that I’m somewhat attractive, so this is really freaking me out, probably because I’m vain. People in my family almost never lose their hair. If they do it’s usually at a very late age. However, both me and my brother have started to get a receding hairline, and, what’s bothering me more, balding at the vertex of the scalp to some extent. I exercise regularly and don’t have too many unhealthy factors in my lifestyle. I’ve been taking finasteride for a little less than a year now, and after visiting this site I plan on quitting.
My one vice is that I masturbate. When I was younger - it was pretty much an addiction. I probably masturbated once per day on average - especially to deal with anxiety. It’s somewhat slowed down now, but I probably still masturbate every other day. I don’t know how often other people who lose their hair masturbate, but could this “myth” really be true? I’m trying to figure out what’s causing my hair-loss so I was just curious:
Do other people who experience early balding (maybe in their 20’s) masturbate very often?
