Gettin’ Jiggy With It: Does Sex Cause Hair Loss?

Oh, you lothario, you’re at it again. But lately, you have noticed that your shower drain starts clogging more than usual, and ew! What is that spot at the crown of your head? Is…is that your…scalp where your hair used to be?

Fact or Fiction?

You think back, and remember that old myth you heard about hair loss coming from the mother’s side of the family (not true by the way, we debunked this myth in another article). You Google your hair-loss woes, and infer that your swingin’ lifestyle may be the reason that you are balding.

Gettin Down With The Science of It

You see, one of the main theories regarding sexual activity and hair loss is that ‘excessive’ ejection of seminal fluid may lead to a protein deficiency in the body, and therefore hair loss. As you know, proteins are “the building blocks of life” and they are responsible for the growth and repair of many of the body’s tissues, including – you guessed it – hair. You know what else has proteins? Seminal fluid, therefore creating that myth that sex causes hair loss. But don’t start chugging protein shakes just yet – seminal fluid is comprised of about only 10% proteins, while the “dry” weight of your body consists of about 50% proteins.

Don’t Be Worried

If you’re like me and your eyes glazed over when you saw the percentages, just know this – no matter how many emissions you may have a day, it is highly unlikely that your newfound baldness is caused by your lifestyle. What may have caused it, however, are a plethora of other factors, like hormones, genetics, the hair products you use (check the label and make sure that alcohol is not one of the main ingredients), and your styling tools.
