I just turned 19 in Feb. and I feel like I still look like I could be in high school, I am fairly big just because I spend a lot of time in the gym but I think because I masturbated too much in high school I have very little body/facial hair ( possibly low testosterone levels?). I have hair on my arms but it is soo thin and very very light, girls always ask me if I shave my arms and it makes me real embarrassed, the same goes for my legs. I have a handful of black facial hairs that you have to get extremely close to the mirror to see and just finished my first year of college. It makes me very insecure and not confident. Any remedies or advice to grow more facial/body hair please!?!

Hi,
I don't think that too much masturbation is why you have very little facial or body hair. A lot of men don't develop much body hair until they're in their 20's. A lot of other men would love to have your "problem."
It's hereditary. Do you have an older brother? Is he hairy? How about your father? Did puberty itself start early for you?
I think you just need more time. You are just out of high school. Just because you are big does not mean you're going to develop faster.
See your doctor if you are concerned. They can run tests on your testosterone level.
Hope that helps some.

Yes, I have an older brother who is not the hairiest guy around but could grow a goatee and highschool and has much more body hair then I do. And I guess I've always looked younger than the people my age but am tired of it, are there any natural ways to increase it or am I simply left with the option of seeing my doctor to check testosterone levels?

"I've always looked younger than the people my age..."
I think that sums it up. I seriously doubt that there is any problem. You say your brother is not the hairiest. It sounds like heredity.
Ask your doctor about your testosterone levels and see if he'll run the test. There is more involved in hair growth than testosterone though.
I understand that it can make you feel insecure or not confident. Make sure you tell your doctor that. They may suggest some counseling. Do not be ashamed by this. A lot of people do not like their appearance and need a little help in accepting it.
Also remember, your friends will not care what you look like. A true friend looks at the inner you.
Hope this helps, let us know how you're doing.

Just remember that looking too young right now probably sucks, but in about 20 years, you will look younger than everyone else that you know, so then you'll be pretty happy about it. Just remember that this is a temporary situation and to not feel so self-conscious about it. Just go about your life and be happy that you do look young! :-)
