Hello- Yes it does. After years of excessive masturbation, males will begin to notice different stages of hair loss, depending on the severity of their masturbatory activity. Think of masturbation as a chemical reaction that unleashes a bevy of hormones, proteins and neurotransmitters. After an ejaculation, the body triggers a testosterone to DHT conversion in the prostate and testicles. And years of excessive masturbation result will result in an enormous DHT buildup that damages hair follicles and their roots.
