    Hey man, do you think edging for 5 minutes a week is as bad? How can I stop edging? Really want my hair back...

    According to that study, topical application. That study wasn't effective in all participants, though. Having said that, it's just something people might wanna try.

    But yeah, I'm a grand ole 37yrs old.

    Hair loss is treated as something that we just can't understand, something unknowable. If men were encouraged to start treatment (essential oils, scalp scrubbing/decalcification, onion juice, etc) a.s.a.p. there’d be a knowledge base more accessible to people.

    When I spoke on occipital muscle movement stimulating blood flow, it was from this: https://www.hairloss-reversible.com/

    THanks man. If I may ask, what do you think about edging? Im trying to stop of course, but how bad is it compared to ejaculation and orgasmic masturbation? Thanks in advance.
     
  4. There would just be a lot of bald men in total denial rubbing weird crap on their heads.

    Onion Juice?! Raspberries?! Why not rub bull semen into your scalp, then cover your head with a shower cap and wear it for 12 hours a day.

    That’s sarcasm. Don’t rush out to buy bull semen.
     
  5. Don’t do it. It’s bad for you. I read on another forum that it causes strained tendons in your balls or something.

    I've noticed that shy guys/ introverted or gamers for some reason bald much faster than confident people - might just be an illusion but im sure there is a link there

    I'm (probably) older than you, but not more knowledgeable.

    Expulsion of sperm takes a toll on the body due to the loss of essential nutrients, minerals and the like? That's an argument that sounds...sound to me.

    I'm unsure about the effect of edging.

  8. I started going bald in my late teens. I don't attribute this to masturbation, as there is no real evidence that it causes baldness. It's genetics, and honestly there's no shame in being bald. I grew a beard and I buzz my hair with clippers without a guard. I'm in my thirties, so I really couldn't care less if I had a full head of hair.

    The hormone that causes baldness in men is literally written into your genome. There's no way to render it inactive, and taking medications can damage yo
    It's not an illusion, but a generalization. Baldness is caused by genetics and hormones, not video games or personality. In other words, you're painting with a broad brush and not considering the fact that millions of men in the US are bald. The fact that some of them are part of a certain subculture or personality type is a non-issue. That's like saying that all men with long hair are fans of metal, or are metal musicians. Yes, long hair is common in this subculture, but that doesn't mean that every male with long hair is somehow predisposed to liking metal.
     
  9. I started losing hair from the front and crown of my head when I was in my late teens. I did fixate upon this and was very vain about my hair up until I was 28. I basically just kept my hair clipped down to the scalp until I was 30, and I shave my head head with a razor now. Also, I have a beard now, which has done a lot for my confidence. I'm obsessed with Vikings and metal, so the beard makes me feel like grabbing a battleaxe and pillaging a Saxon village.

    Excessive masturbation doesn't make you go bald. Unless I see irrefutable proof, I will gladly shout "bullshit!" anytime someone says otherwise. Baldness is caused by a hormone called Dihydrotestosterone (DHT). This hormone is responsible for facial hair growth and thickness, body hair, and if you have the genetic predisposition - baldness. It is also linked to larger prostates and sexual health. All men have DHT, but if you have elevated levels due to genetic factors, you are likely to experience hair loss. There is no way to stop it, but using products like rogaine can help if you are losing hair from the crown of your head, but if your hairline is receding from the front, the only real solution is to have an expensive procedure done where hair is taken from the back of your head and grafted onto the areas where you are balding. This procedure is not only expensive, but results are often varied, and some men need repeat treatments and medication to get the desired results. Basically, you're better off shaving your head and growing some facial hair. The thousands you spend on medications and treatments are much greater than the amount you spend on razors, shaving cream, or clippers. Also, being bald has its advantages. For instance, no one can tell how old you are. Even with the greys in my beard, I still look very young for my age. Another advantage is that DHT is also responsible for muscle growth. Being bald automatically means that you have significant levels, so why not put those hormones to good use and build a strong body out of it?

  11. You are deluded. Sorry if that seems harsh, but it's for your own good. Do some research. Better yet, prove it.

    Do it first, you undisciplined jerk, who is addicted to jerk, cigarette is consider good in 50s until it is proven harmful in 80s by science, so, not all things can be explain at the moment but try it first, have a personal experience first before talking. Action speaks louder than words, and let it have an effect on your body.

    I agree. Genetics do not care about how high your counter is, they just hate you.

    Ain't that one of the ones that can 'F' with your hormonal profile?

    I'm sure I've read men's testimonials - yes, some report the halt of shedding, regrowth, but I'm sure I've heard some guys say it F's with their libido, sleep, etc.

    I'm saying try some somewhat cheap methods that shouldn't mess with the hormones, endocrine system or whatever it is and are non-toxic for most. The earlier you get into it, the better, too.

    Disclaimer: read-up, get your allergies done, etc before taking advice from a layman.
