I'm a 19 year old male with a pretty badly receded hairline. Did excessive masturbation cause my hair to thin so early?

Asked By:Jnich in Albuquerque, NM

It's a crazy question I know. I've read on some websites that excessive ejaculation increases DHT levels in the body. If I'm genetically predisposed to male pattern baldness, which I am, is masturbation the reason why I'm balding so early? I used to do it like twice a day. I haven't found a clear answer to this question which is why I'm finally asking. Please help.
