Love Is In The Hair
14th February 2011
When it comes to myths about hair loss, I think I’ve probably heard them all. However, when reading a blog recently about the top 10 myths associated with the causes of hair loss, I did get a surprise.
Number five on this ‘expert’ list was the fictional claim that masturbation, or ‘surplus sexual acts’, bring about hair loss.
I can’t stress how untrue this bizarre claim is. Ejaculation releases excess testosterone but it is incorrect to claim that the amount of testosterone released through ejaculation is sufficient enough to be a contributing factor in hair loss.
I am starting to get frustrated with these factually incorrect myths. I think it’s time to dispel them all. Does anyone have any other theories they’d like me to put right?
