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.

I've noticed I've got several black dark spots on my penis and scrotum. I'm not married and haven't been sexually active at all. The spots don't itch or bleed, but I'm a bit concerned. What could be causing them and should I be worried about this?

I'm really worried about dealing with scabies mites. I'm wondering if leaving clothes and bedding out in the sunlight for a day is a reliable way to kill them. Would that be enough?
