Does not fapping make your facial hair grow faster?

I fapped 3-4 times a day and would have to shave stubble once or twice a week. Then I got a girlfriend and fap once every 2-3 days... and have to shave nearly every goddamn day. What gives?

The fact that your girlfriend is more strict about facial hair than you are.

sounds like your girlfriend thinks you are a girly man and is dosing you with testosterone. this is surprisingly common.

>> No.1608711

Google yields that fapping doesn't affect testosterone.. so what else could it be?

>>1608708
No, it's literally growing in twice as fast.

I don't think you have a girlfriend.

Enjoy your beard.

This is just a hypothesis for the record.

Producing sperm and producing hair both require large amounts of amino acids in order to synthesize the large amounts of proteins present in both. Your body allocates these amino acids according to need with a preference towards sperm production. When you're fapping all the time, your body is always working overtime to produce more sperm and therefore using more of its amino acid resources to do that rather than produce hair. When you don't fap and have more amino acids available, they're allocated to hair growth.

This is all assuming the amount of sex you're having doesn't compensate for the amount you would be masturbating. If it does, I would guess it has something to do with hormones.

Hair is an excretory mechanism for excess nitrogen (generally occurs as a result of excess protein). Has your diet changed since you started dating her? Your exercise regime?

>> No.1608753

>>1608736

unless you are literally cumming buckets the amount of work required to produce sperm really isn't significant or taxing on the body

I should have said, "excretory mechanism for many things, including heavy metals, but the most important in your case is probably excess nitrogen and nitrogen-bearing compounds." Picking my own nits. (Eww....)

An awesome beard is a good consolation prize, IMO.

It's the reverse-neckbeard effect.

>> No.1608811

i wish i could grow a full beard, i get these weird mandible bald spots at my incisors and then i have one bald spot under my chin, so if i shave the neck line it looks like i fucked up and shaved too much on one side

i usually sport a goatee, cause i look 12 (am 23) if i'm clean shaven

;((( BAWW

does this mean if I eat more nitrogen my beard will grow bigger?

>> No.1608850

>>1608816
yes
