But I would still like to know whether a certain herbal company's reasoning and claims have any truth. In particular, I would like to know if masturbation has any temporary effect on the level of DHT, testosterone, or other hormones in any part of the human body.
The story about DHT, hair loss, and masturbation – like the made-up term "overmasturbation" – originates from one and only one web site whose only goal is to sell herbal pills that do nothing, and they've gotten a lot of attention due to a large advertising campaign. We checked out an article on that site called "Hair Loss Due to Over Masturbation," which was purportedly written by a "Mitchell McNiff, M.D." According to the bio for this name, Mitchell is a "board certified urologist" and is "also the Medical Director of C.A.Z.T. Laboratories," which specializes in "Fertility Testing and Sperm Banking." A quick Google check reveals that there is no such laboratory, and there are no search results for "Mitchell McNiff" that aren't associated with the "overmasturbation" site. We have to assume, therefore, that Mitchell McNiff is a made-up character, not an actual physician. There are several web sites out there that say similar things, but if you spend a few moments investigating, you'll find that they're either all owned by the same parent company or link back to a site owned by the parent company. And they are there to sell herbal pills for people's sexual insecurities, whether it be masturbation, penis size, impotence, or even breast size. Aside from sexual predators and phishers, we can't think of a more evil presence on the Internet. Stay skeptical and don't believe any of it!

Do you find yourself masturbating more often during some seasons than others? Why?
