Can Excessive Masturbation Result In Stunted Growth Of Beard?

i am 31 years old.i am not able to grow beard till now . there are hardly any hair on my jawline .I get a perfect french cut but cant grow sideburns . My father and my elder brother have perfect beard but i dont have it. Is it because i started masturbating at the earlier age. Is it possible to grow beard after 30.

It is absolutely unrelated to masturbation. Please be clear about this. Genetic inheritance is complex and not all traits of father are necessarily transmitted. You might want to consult a dermatologist if you are very concerned about this. Targeted skin treatments to encourage growth of hair in a specific area are available.
