ObjectiveTo test the popular assertion that bald men are more virile than their well thatched contemporariesDesign, Participants And SettingSecondary analysis of data from a case-control study in a community setting between 1994 and 1997 among men below the age of 70 years, using in-person interviews and categorisation of baldness, with subsequent completion of a questionnaire by the participant. We analysed risk factors for baldness using unconditional logistic regression.Main Outcome MeasuresBaldness; history of ejaculations between the ages of 20 and 49 years; total number of sexual partners.ResultsThere was no significant association between baldness and the frequency of ejaculations, but bald men were significantly less likely to have had more than four female sexual partners.ConclusionsIn the population studied, bald men appear to be no more virile than their well thatched contemporaries.
