Introduction
In general, a man's lack of facial hair does not affect his sexual function. Facial hair growth is not directly related to sexual function. The growth of facial hair is mainly influenced by genetic factors, hormone levels, and hair follicle development. Although androgens do have certain effects on male sexual function, primarily in terms of sperm production and libido, the condition of facial hair growth cannot directly reflect the status of sexual function.

Generally speaking, a man's lack of beard growth does not affect his sexual function. The detailed explanation is as follows:

Beard growth has no direct relationship with sexual function. Beard development is mainly influenced by genetic factors, hormone levels, and hair follicle development. Although androgens do influence a man's sexual function, primarily affecting sperm production and libido, the condition of beard growth cannot directly reflect the status of sexual function. Therefore, absence of beard growth does not imply abnormal sexual function.

Physiological differences between individuals are also among the reasons why some men do not grow beards. Some men, due to genetic factors, may experience slower beard growth or have less prominent beards, which is a normal physiological phenomenon and does not negatively affect their physical health or sexual function. Thus, it is incorrect to judge whether a man has sexual dysfunction solely based on the presence or absence of beard growth.

Maintaining good lifestyle habits in daily life, including regular作息 (作息 translates to作息 time or sleep and wake cycles, but may be better omitted or rephrased in English), sufficient sleep, and moderate physical exercise, can help regulate the endocrine system and maintain stable androgen levels, thereby positively influencing sexual function.
