    All genetics, and testosterone growth related.
     
  2. The short answer is it really depends on your age as to whether or not PMO will affect your ability to grow a beard.

    Once you're already older, your beard will already have filled out the best it can from your genetics, so other than perhaps causing it to grow a little faster, you aren't going to notice much in the way of beard changes from the androgenic (testosterone & androgen receptor affecting) effects of NoFap. We are ultimately limited by our genetics, and some people simply can't grow as thick or full beards.

    However, if you're younger, and your beard hasn't quite filled out yet, then NoFap could definitely help. Testosterone plays a significant role in how quickly your beard fills out, as well as body hair over the rest of your body (although, on the top of your head it's the opposite scenario, and can actually encourage hair loss). Our androgen/testosterone system takes quite a beating from PMO, and NoFap allows it to recover, so you may suddenly start to feel like you're going through a second puberty of sorts, with added energy, confidence, temporary changes in the depth of your voice (sorry guys, those are only temporary, your vocal chords aren't growing any more if you're past puberty - BUT, at times of elevated testosterone, you can experience some temporary voice changes), more hair growth on your face and body, increased libido, etc.

    I'm 23 and so my beard hasn't completely filled out, and I've had two new patches of hair come in on my face since starting NoFap, as well as several others over my body in areas where the hair wasn't quite so thick yet. I'm also supplementing NoFap with ZMA (Zinc, Magnesium, B6), D3, and Tribulus Terretris extract - all of which help with testosterone production and maintenance of your androgen receptors, and so while NoFap certainly helped - it was the combination of all the above that's made me grow all that extra hair in the last few weeks.

    Hi friend how are you?As far as Nofap is concerned you are doing better....good!
    I started masturbation since i was 14.Continued to do so with all fantasies till 22 but was quite away from porn.After 22 Porn came in moderation till 28 with orgasm for a long 14-15 years.Beard is never been a problem for me.I get full beard.the only problem I noticed that some of my hairs have become white/grey and ,I simply don't like that.
    I think its mostly genetics and a hereditary stuff.

    Lads that is brilliant thanks for all your help. I know now that I can't do anything about not having a beard you are right there are no beards in the family and to also hear that other people can't grow them makes me feel not alone. There was also something here for me about thinking that masturbation is bad instead of not helpful. I thought that because I masturbated I couldn't grow a beard and that is a bad thing. I am now happy that I masturbated lots when I was younger. I couldn't do anything about it. It was just my situation.

    it's genetics. In college, I had a very full mustache and an apartment mate who couldn't grow a mustache. One day he asked me how I did it. I told him it was the same way he grew sideburns. His could hide his ears;I still cant grow any to speak of.
    Each decade our beards do get thicker. By 70 or 80, we need our razors repaired because they don't cut like they did. In reality they cut like they always have, we just dont have the silky beard we had before.
