I'm 18 and masturbate 2-3 times a day. I was wondering if this would contribute to my acne. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Hi Guest,
Being 18 is likely contributing to your acne.
Seriously, your hormone levels are very high during adolescence. Masturbation (or having sex) does change your hormone levels and it can result in increased acne.
Try cutting back to masturbating once a day, or less, and see what happens.
FYI, if you aren't taking your time when masturbating, as in making it last a long time (45 minutes or more) you risk suffering from premature ejaculation. Use your masturbation experiences to learn control of when you are going to masturbate. The idea SHOULD NOT be just to ejaculate.
Hope it helps.
