Does oragasm or having sex or sexual activity increase DHT which cause hairloss?

Question

Jae Pak, MD · Answer

Having orgasm or having sex does not cause hair loss.  Even if it does, would you consider being asexual?  Your genetic predisposition causes male pattern balding.

Greg Williams, FRCS (Plast) · Answer

Having sex/orgasms does not contribute to hair loss. If it did then there would be a lot more people with thinning hair!

Dear rb9909,

The amount of sexual activity that a man may have with male
pattern hair loss has no relationship to the amount of testosterone produced,
nor the amount of DHT locally in the scalp. 
There is no correlation between sexual activity and DHT levels, so you
can certainly feel free to have a very active sex life and any degree of male
pattern hair loss that you will experience is genetically determined and other
than the addition of Finasteride, topical nutrient serum shampoos, low-level
light therapy, plasma rich protein and the amount of recession and thinning
that you experience will be genetically determined.

I hope this information has been of some assistance and best
of luck.

No sex at any level does not increase hair loss. The DHT is a very powerful hormone, 40 times more powerful that testosterone. If you are losing hair one takes finasteride to block DHT and the hair level.  Don't stop having sex because you are losing hair.
