I read that balding is a sign of excess testosterone, so..?

Question

So I recently read that balding is a sign of excess testosterone, would that mean that having thick hair would be a lack of?

Answer 1

As someone whose was fond of musicians with long hair I would have to say NO. As an adult who doesn't judge on the basis of shallow looks, I cannot find a correlation between hair and great sex.

Answer 2

The link with Testosterone is an enzyme called 5-alpha-reductase. It converts testosterone into Dihydroxytestosterone (DHT). This form of the hormone circulates in the blood and when it reaches the follicles in the frontal and crown region of the scalp, it promotes follicular deactivation and the hair follicles slowly begin to produce hair shafts of decreasing thickness until the hair is non-detectable.

You can slow this by taking supplements or medication that irreversibly binds to the enzyme 5-alpha reductase and prevents the converstion of testosterone to DHT.

These include Proscar/Propecia, Saw Palmetto and a few others.

Lastly, DHT is more potent than regular Testosterone, so technically baldies are better, more aggressive lovers ;)

Answer 3

There are several reasons for hair to fall out, various skin diseases, other diseases, cheomotherapy and other reasons as well.

But if you are talking about good ol' male pattern baldness, its all in your genes. Those who have said your are masturbating too much are just trying to make you feel guilty. The amount you masturbate or how often you engage in sex of any kind has absolutely nothing to do with baldness.

If you are losing your hair it would not be a bad idea to see your doctor so that you can rule out any medical problem that you would want to treat.

But if its good old male pattern baldness then its your genes that are causing your hair to fall out. There are some approved treatments to help with that, but they are expensive. Of course you can also pay lots of money for the quack stuff that is not approved.

But you also need to know this - some ladies find bald men to be very sexy!

Answer 4

Balding is a sex-influenced trait, but everyone is different. The genotype BB is the only one that produces a thick-headed male. However, Bb and bb both result in baldness. For women, BB and Bb do not represent baldness, but bb produces thinning hair (or baldness, by this definition).
The only way to prevent balding in a male with genotype BB or Bb is to give them estrogen. A lot of it.
But a disadvantage to this is that the man will grow breasts.
So, to answer your question, men have normal levels of testosterone, whether they are bald or not.

Answer 5

If you are bald in the front you are a thinker. If you are bald in the back you are a lover. If you are bald in both then you think you are a lover.

Answer 6

Some people get bald because it's inherited from their ancestors. But I recommend googling more about this.

Answer 7
