Are Bald Men More Virile Than Their Well-Thatched Contemporaries?

The document investigates the common belief that bald men are more virile than men with hair. The study analyzed data from a case-control study conducted between 1994 and 1997 in Australia, involving 2,836 men under the age of 70. The participants were categorized by baldness pattern and provided information on their history of ejaculations and number of sexual partners. The results showed no significant association between baldness and the frequency of ejaculations between the ages of 20 and 49. However, bald men were significantly less likely to have had more than four female sexual partners. The conclusion drawn from the study is that, in the population studied, bald men are not more virile than their counterparts with hair. The study suggests that the belief in the greater virility of bald men may be unfounded, and bald men may actually have fewer sexual partners.
