Ballooning DHT Baldness

Hi, I am a newly registered member, very informative site. I was browsing thru past threads and I read that ballooning creates a rise in DHT. I used to do ballooning before I knew what PE was. As a young guy, I’m concerned about that, don’t wanna lose any hair before I’m 30! My hair does fall out easily.. But I’m sure I’m not going bald, my hairs are thick as eggnog. Should I avoid ballooning or is there something I can do to get rid of DHT after ballooning? If I ejaculate instead of holding back, how will that affect the DHT levels? I hear working out and sweating will help. Sorry for all the talk, just very curious.

I can’t imagine how that would work. Masturbation, which is basically what ballooning is, doesn’t affect testosterone levels which is where DHT comes from. Can you provide a link to the thread where they claim that?

Yes, I recalled reading this in Werner Ashfords thread Ballooning “Sweet Rewards.” So to prevent any further hair loss I take Saw Palmetto. This herb blocks DHT.

And Masturbation does raise testosterone levels “15 ways to raise testosterone levels naturally” I think this is the tittle of the thread, will have to do a search.

No. See: http://www.ncbi .nlm.nih.gov/si … t_uids=12697037

From the above abstract: “Blood was drawn continuously before, during and after orgasm over a total period of 40 min in 10 healthy subjects and were compared with samples obtained under a control condition. Sexual activity induced transient increases of plasma epinephrine and norepinephrine levels during orgasm with a rapid decline thereafter. In contrast, prolactin levels increased immediately after orgasm and remained elevated throughout the experiment. Although oxytocin was acutely increased after orgasm, these changes were not consistent and did not reach statistical significance. Vasopressin, LH, FSH and testosterone plasma concentrations remained unaltered during sexual arousal and orgasm.

But prolactin inhibits gonadotrophin release (that’s why one of the first, subtle signs in a pituitary prolactinoma in both sexes, but particularly men, is decreased libido, which occurs long before lactation in both men and women; and why nursing women typically have decreased libido and have a lower chance of ovulation).

So perhaps while there is no significant decrease in testosterone before and JUST after ejaculation, there may be a delayed decrease in testosterone, which is moderated by pituitary gonadotrophins. So the above cited reference may have a result bias based on timing of sample collection.

No data, just thinking out loud.

Apparently not that much of a problem: http://www.ncbi .nlm.nih.gov/si … oSearch=9334597

Besides, KP suggested testosterone level is elevated, not reduced, by ejaculation.
