Is a bald spot that much of a sexual turn-off?

[viewing ownly]

As I age, the distinctiveness and size of the bald spot on the back of my head increases. I cannot help but notice that since it appeared as a glaring "no hair here" zone, my erotic times I was having have gone completely out the window.

It gets me wondering a couple of things, since I haven't been taking as good care of myself in that same time frame. Which is more of a turn-off for a provider - looking down at old age on the dome, or seeing a fluffy, once nicely fit body in their presence?

I could do the easy social experiment and just shave off my hair up there entirely and see where that takes me. It goes without saying if I got back into good shape AND shaved my head, I'd feel like I wouldn't have any problems having fun like I had pre-2025. On me, it would take at least a decade off of my presumed age, since I'm not at all wrinkly.

Like my father, I started balding when I was still in my 30s; I opted at one point for a toupee, but found it a nuisance, especially when someone tried to run his fingers through it. However, as I aged, I found that keeping my whole head shaved fairly close actually made me look younger and improved my sex life.

I don't find bald spots attractive. Attempting to cover them up can be even worse. Shortly after 50, my top hairs started to thin. I always had light hair, color and density, so most people couldn't tell what was going on, but I could tell. I never thought I would do this, but I had my head shaved. Friends say they like it, but I don't, and never will. I feel completely naked without head hair. In public, it makes me feel very uncomfortable. I wear a lot of hats. But since I don't like male-patterned baldness, I opted for the least worse option. At least when it's hot out, like this past week, I'm a bit cooler. I always have to watch out for sunburn.

Not a deal breaker to me. Neither like nor dislike them.

Baldness on any level never bothered me or changed my attraction for someone. Some of my fav providers are bald or choose to have a low buzzcut.

Baldness is hot on the right guy.  The problem is that not everyone has the right head shape and facial features to carry it off, and the lack of hair can turn an average looking guy into an unattractive guy.  Worse, however, is someone who tries to hide the fact that he has a large bald spot by doing a comb over or having long hair on other areas of his head.  Bald or extremely short hair always looks better than someone trying to hide his bald spot.

I think confidence says more than aesthetics

Wait - you mean you’re no longer wearing the wig in your avatar?  Very disappointing!

I met him a few months ago.  I can attest he doesn’t.  But he offered to lend it to me

Hey, I said I wore a toupee, not a wig!

This is SO true! When you have and exude confidence no one notices your bald spot.
