Masturbation-acne in males does exist!

Yes, this is happening to mee too! After I get laid or after I masturbate (after 2-3 days, my skin becomes oily and acne erupts)...

I have studied this thing in the past 3-4 weeks and the response is simple:

 

"Stress hormone “Cortisol” tells your sebaceous glands to produce more oil.

Ejaculation increases levels of the hormone cortisol"

 

I am sorry that is nothing out there that can cure this unbalanced problem with our hormones, I mean "our" because not every male on this planet has this problem, there are just a few of us...

i also had the same problem from the past 2-3 yrs even i do it once in a week. Finally i have decided that i have to choose between smartness and satisfaction. i have not done it from the past 10-11 days & imagine no new breakouts,i have a target of not ejaculating for 30 days,& then may be i will stop this forever. i am also doing some regular exercise early in the morning.

Yep, i've had this problem since teenage and now i am in my 30s. Most of the times mb and sex has increased my acne. Only solution has been abstinence from sexual stuff. Little pimples would be totally acceptable but cystic acne is just horrible result of some pleasurable action.

And as said, it might be caused by increased stress hormones, thought i many times also feel somewhat lethargic and low self-confidence few days after sexual action which makes me suspect also fall of testosterone. And well, stress-hormones are testosterone's enemies so maybe there occurs a chain reaction? More stress-hormones ->  less testosterone.

I've been able to escape the acne few times in sexual actions but these are very rare cases. These times has been some way special in action, more pleasurable, complete, utter satisfaction. My guess is that in these cases body is secreting something which pushes the stress-hormone levels down. What it is, i have little hunch, maybe oxytocin and endorphines, but why only sometimes such a reaction?

Sometimes the next day after sex/mb feels totally fine but then on 2nd day oily skin and painful spots of acne are appearing - and disappearing if i have enough willpower to stay off mb/sex for 1 week at least.

I wish the solution would be as simple as shower, exercising, food, vitamins, minerals, meditation or so but no.

Well, i wish i could experiment with zinc supplement because docs prescribe it for acne patients, but for me it causes weird symptoms, so i am staying away from it (maybe someway relating into puzzle?)

well sadly i too suffer from exactly the same problem .well i was sick of the internet never agreeing with me but now ive got company .man i mean it was just instantaneous for me like my skin would burn just as i was in the act(masturbation).no one really had this problem .not just acne even constipation followed . constant masturbation lead to severe abdominal pain and obstruction during my urine leaks.I was in the belief that i had appedicitis or hernia but the doctor there nothing wrong . i could obvsiously reveal the fact that it was masturbation that got me in trouble .a year passed and I lived a moderately limited sexual life . i had limits had to make sure did indulge too often in the act.and wow for pimples believe the best medicine is ur own semen.i had figured out women use it in facials.so why not us ,after all its part of our system how disgusting can it get?it worked wonders for me if not entirely but certainly restricted the flow of acne .now for a second time i am experiencing mild abdominal pain and im trying my best not to get aroused but it is so hard being a teenager.this is probably the most cruel disease a man could get. Incidently i have also confronted other niggling injuries in my recent past . im shivzz by the way.

Shut the f**k up........

"Masturbation-acne in males does exist!"

Yup. Agreed. Excessive masturbation will lead to acne or hairloss.

A quick explanation:

- Excessive masturbation will caused a change in hormone (Androgen), even if it is temporarily changes.

- DHT, testosterone, cortisol are some of the various type of Androgen.

- Androgen is linked to male balding and sebum in gland activity. [Wikipedia-Androgen] "DHT contributes to male balding, prostate growth and sebaceous gland activity..."

- Acne is caused by excess oil (serum) from sebaceous gland. [Wikipedia-sebaceous gland] "Sebaceous glands are involved in skin problems such as acne and keratosis pilaris..."

Conclusion:

Excessive masturbation --> Change in hormone --> Imbalance in gland activity --> Excess serum resulting in Acne.

That explained why we experience pimple during puberty period, because of the change of hormone activity during puberty.

When I see the doctor for my acne issue. The doctor prescribed me Anti-androgen medication (Hormone balancing medicine). It works great!

However, once I stopped using it, the acne will come back again. Because the underlying cause for the acne is my excessive masturbation, and medication is only a short-term solution.

I'm not promoting zero-masturbation. What I'm advising is healthy masturbation.

Personally for me, I stopped having breakout if I masturbate at most once every two days. And once a day frequency will cause me severe breakout.

Hope it helps!

So true bro I stopped as well to see how it went and it actually did go away after 2 weeks and then I masturbate again and they started to return now I'm probably just gonna give up on masturbating.

Yess!! Thank youfor that bro , im motivated now.

I used to take prescribed tablets from my doctor and they worked and my skin was cleared but i coudnt take them for ever as doctor said it can seriously harm my body. I was so pissed because i knew i would get bad skin again. Instead of the tables i use this zinc lotion stuff and it is insane i still have sex (ejacualte) but if i dont remebered to put it on everynight ill wake up with zits for sure its called erythromycin zineryt get it!! Hope i helped anyone who says ejacualtion doesn't cause spots is a fool its different for everyone and it defiantly effects me.

when i was preteen i masturbated a lot but then got disgusted by it and stopped. When i was 14 i started it again and got acne and used spot creams ever since. Masturbation daily and sometimes twice but if i stop now and my face improves then you're right.

AFTER MASTURBATING OR GETTING AROUSED WE GET ACNE WHY?
IT IS BECAUSE THE ADRENALINE LEVEL IN OUR BODY LEVELS UP AND IT MAINLY AFFECTS OUR FACE AND BRAIN NERVES AND THIS WHY HORMONAL IMBALANCE IS OCCURES AND ALSO BECAUSE OF FATIGUENESS AFTER WE GET TIRED A LOT WE GET PIMPLES AND ALSO AFTER EJACULATING OR ON AROUSEMENT THE FACE BECOMES MORE OILY AS WELL SO I BELIEVE THAT DON'T THINK WE GONNA GET PIMPLES AFTER EJACULATION BECAUSE IT WILL MAKE U MORE TIRED AND DEPRESSED SO THAT WILL BE THE CAUSE FOR ACNE ASS WELL WIPE OFF ACCESS OIL FROM YOUR SKIN SO THAT IT STAYS DRY >>>>>>>BEST OF LUCK<<<<<<<
HOPE THIS NOTE OF MINE HELPS U TO DEAL WITH THIS sh*t _|_
call ME ''XP'' AND PLEASE REPLY SO THAT I CAN THINK THAT I AM NOT MAD OR INFANT ON MY STUDY

same problem here...n i m done with all the experiments too..eager to discuss about the solutions if thr r any..

100% agree without a doubt. my parents and i have never had acne and have all beautiful olive skin. im 16 now and of course i am a wanking machine. i was so sick minded that i didnt even do it to porn whenever a chick from school posted an insta pic of her with only a bit of cleavage i would bust one out. as soon as i wank i feel like sh*t. the best thing i learnt was to legit just get busy. it sounds easy but its not. the reason we wank is becuase we have TIME to wank. just simply watch a movie (not a porno you f****r), start a tv series like GoT, or just drop down and do 100 sit ups until or do some form of exercise until you have no energy to bust one out. also another reason i used to wank was because i was a bit of a p***y with the chicks, like i was good looking, but i felt that wth porn i was invincible. just stop with the porn its screwed on your mind, none of us have huge cocks like johnny sins and 95% of us are never going to f**k big titted penis gagging s**ts. so just stop it cuz it gives us a faulse sense of what is right with sex. when i copped head from a chick, it took a while for me to cum, but when i did she hated it and she only let me do it on her hand while she was wanking me off. no chcik is a cum loving s*** trust me! so anyway, just stop the wanking, im not talking about stop for 300 days in a row. limit yourself to 12 a year. im currently doing it and i stop on may (my bday is in may and thats when i said enough was a enough last year), ive only had 3 in about 8 months. but let me tell you whenever i do cum i need plenty of tissues and boyyy does it feel good. i know they say that a wank a day keeps prostate away, but trust me ive done my fair share of wanking to mkae up for it. btw when i told my mates that wanking gave me pimples they all laughed at me. my mate fraser pumped a wank whenever he can. he would have about 20 a week on avergae an he has no pimples. while poor me has one every 3 or so becuase of how unlucky i am. btw my face is about 97%. like i have a faint red mark next to nose and its the last one. i have full confidence going out in public now, but just becuase my face is better doesnt meen im gonna wank again. im fully commiting to this 12 wanks a year thing. ohh yeah btw get on accutane i got on it a bit late cuz my grandma nagged me to do it. it fastened up the process of eleiminating my pimples. just google accutane and look at everything or youtube accutane and pimples and sh*t will come up. anyway cunts hope all goes well and stop with the bloody porn for gods sake. if you cant not watch porn without wanking, just put yours hands on your head keeps your pants on and dont touch your penis while watching it. for about the first month i had to watch chicks getting punished by cunts. i just had to. just watch it without touching your penis. and if you do reach for your penis just think of the conseqences lads. each time i nearly had a wank i thought of this fit chick i used to go to school with and i have a massive crush on her, like she has the best tits,but anyway. i used to think that if she stared at my face, would she liked what she sees? answering that question was enough for me to think NOOO, i have to stop!. just dont touch your cocks boys, it will kill your self esteem. finally i hope you look back in 5 months and your acne is gone... thanks for the lads who read that and rememer to the porn to f**k off and get some real p***y!

Yeah man..!! Masturbation does causes acne. And the whole Internet tells lies. There is not a single website where the truth has been spoken. But the above comments are seriously speaking out the truth. Meanwhile, nutrient loss theory might be working. That you loses major nutrients during masturbation including the ones required for a healthy skin. The loss is filled again by body but excess masturbation may drain out much that it can't be filled.... causing acnes

Ok, I also have the exact same experience, and sadly I'm 33 this year and I still got breakouts when I masturbate too frequently, so it is definitely irrelevant with puberty! After some research over the internet, I've found that testosterone is the main culprit of pimple breakout, so this is my own theory, when we masturbate our body releases / produces more testosterone than it normally does, and for some unlucky people like me and you, it causes more pimples on us than it is on those other guys, simply because our body metabolism and hormone production / circulation are not exactly the same to one another. I still haven't find any cure for this, but at least for me, reducing stress eases the breakouts a lot!
