For those who dont know, edging is when you watch porn but refrain from ejaculating.

I've noticed that when I edge for a bit, I tend to lose hair. This is a significant observation because I literally NEVER seem to lose ANY hairs when I haven't edged,even if I TRY to pull them out hard.

Is there a link that yall know between edging and hair loss? And is edging a stronger adverse action than outright ejaculation? Thanks in advance

Apparently, prolactin is released when one masturbates, regardless of whether or not one orgasms. I think the prolactin release is much shorter and less intense when you just edge than when you go all the way. When you masturbate till orgasm, do you notice you lose more hair than when you just edge?

On a side note, I noticed that my urine after edging is foamy. I decided to pee into a water bottle to see if there was any trace of semen in it, and, to my surprise, there was. I used to think that if you just edge, there is no loss of semen, but it turned out that there still is. From a TCM point of view, that's bad, since you're throwing out a very concentrated source of "jing".

I have found that edging has more profound and lasting bad effects than just masturbating to ejaciulation.

The neurochemicals and hormones are at much higher levels when edging.

Even prolactin?

I ask because if I orgasm, I can't have another one for about 20 minutes, but if I edge till the point of almost orgasming, I can do that again a few seconds later, and, for example if I edge, then wait a few seconds, I can orgasm fully. Wouldn't that mean that edging raises prolactin less than full-blown orgasm, since prolactin is the hormone that makes people feel sexually satisfied?

edging increases Cortisol and lowers Testosterone at least temporarily, when i edged few years back, i noticed that i can go peeing many times in an hour, i think it's good to hear the opinion of @ecstatichamster here when masurbation to physical sensation increases sexual energy and will not cause side effects and may be good according to taoists, but if someone's brain was hard wired to porn for many years, it's best not to masturbate again because when you touch yourself you will just remember some fantasies and you will rush ejaculating to feel some pelasure and that will cause desensitisation.

Seems possible.

I noticed the peeing also.

Vasopressin is involved I think.

I see, peeing a lot does seem to indicate that the metabolism is lowered, which normally means more stress hormones and less anabolic hormones.

Yeah, I sometimes have that habit of rushing ejaculation, I feel like it's because I indeed used to watch porn a lot when I was younger. These patterns are hard to break when you start them from a very early age( I was 12 or 13 when I started masturbating). Masturbation without porn is much more satisfying, focusing just on what you're feeling is so much better, but, at the same time, it takes much longer to reach orgasm( 20 to 30 minutes, instead of 5), in my experience, which is a turn off for those who just want to be done with it quickly.

So is the consensus that going to completion is better for you than edging. I have been edging recently thinking it would be better but have noticed more hair loss as well.

If that’s the case what is a reasonable amount of times to do it per week to mitigate the effects as much as possible?

There is a video of a pregnant Tori Black masturbating with an electric massager; this caused milk to leak almost the entire time. Maybe prolactin releases during all of that kind of pleasure.

I doubt that that edging increases prolactin more than orgasm.
I think edging is better than coming, but i also think there is a difference between between coming to porn and having sex.
Prolactin spikes when you come, this should tell everyone that its prolactin (and other stress hormones) that increase hair loss and not DHT.
Also I used to have hair loss when masturbating too. But in the last months I dont anymore . Iguess it has to do with increasing your androgens and lowering cortisol and prolactin.

Does anyone have actual studies or lab work substantiating any of this? There are way too many factors not being controlled for anecdotal experiences like edging caused my accelerated hair loss.

I disagree. Edging is far worse because it can go on for hours. I've found it much more damaging in terms of causing ED for some men.

You mean IF it goes on for hours which it normally doesn't. And because it doesn't it's definitely less prolactinergic .
And you can maybe find it more damaging for yourself but not for others.

My prolactin must be rock bottom at the tender age of 31 having lived all of my fantasies with the hottest women around - 21yo me was dreaming of this state of fulfillment, yet here I am now having no real desires left.

At least my hair is growing back
