I've been masturbating daily since I was 15, and I've noticed something odd that's got me a bit worried. When I masturbate, my penis tends to soften within about 10 seconds without me even touching it. The thing is, I can easily achieve a full erection, and I also get morning erections every two or three days. I haven't had intercourse in 12 years, so I'm not really sure how things would go when I'm with a partner. Could this be something I should be concerned about?

I'm dealing with alopecia barbae and it's really stressing me out. I'm desperate to find out what the best treatment options are to help manage or hopefully overcome this. Also, how much time does it typically take to see any improvements?

Alopecia barbae, which is a type of hair loss that affects the beard area, can be treated with minoxidil solution. You can apply minoxidil 5% solution twice daily on the affected area. It may take several months to see significant improvement, and treatment may need to be continued long-term to maintain results.

I've been wondering if the fact that I masturbate twice a week could be impacting my male pattern baldness. Should I be worried that my habit is making my hair loss worse or is it just a myth?

Masturbation frequency, including your habit of twice a week, has no scientifically proven link to exacerbating or causing male pattern baldness, which is primarily influenced by genetics, hormonal factors (e.g., dihydrotestosterone), and aging.
