Hi Doc,
First off, thank you for your honesty and integrity regarding hairloss issues. I find it difficult to trust a lot of the information out there.
I was wondering — Is DHT good for you? This study seems to suggest it is of primary importance in male sexuality. Contribution of dihydrotestosterone to male sexual behaviour (http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/310/6990/1289)
Thanks!
For the young man who is going through puberty and prior to it as well, dihydrotestosterone (DHT) has a major role in developing our sexual characteristics like hair under the arms, pubic hair, beard, chest hair, etc. You can read more about DHT’s role at Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dihydrotestosterone).
The article you referenced (http://www.bmj.com/cgi/content/full/310/6990/1289) seems to reflect that the measure of DHT was made by monitoring the number of orgasms that young men aged 18-22 years, would have in a week. This measure has its limitations. The study is generally informative and worth reading.
