My theory is that over masturbation causes acne ... not moderated masturbation
If you do it everyday that's when you start to get the negative effects like acne especially for those people who have been doing it everyday or every other day for years. You have to take a 1 month- 3 month break from it completely to allow your body to regulate itself and get back on track , basically heal all the damage you have done. Once this happens you can start masturbating again but it must be done in moderation which is like 2-3 times a week.
The reason we got acne after masturbation is because a lot of us over did it . Your body is not purpose to release sperm so frequently like everyday or multiple times a day. Thats the reason why some of your friends have not got any negative effects from it like some of us had because they just never did it as often.

I think it is true to a certain extent, when i went to serve the military we didn't had the time to masturbate and after 2 months, my whole forehead cleared up, is was totally clear! Don't let this thread die, meanwhile, back to abstinence, i promise!

So glad to have found this thread and I feel for each of you guys it's really encouraged me to try and hold off for a few weeks to see if there's any results, it makes perfect sense to me and seems to all come together.
It's been one big eye opener, and as much as it sucks I'm kinda glad cause it could potentially mean not having to waste any $ on products that do nothing for myself and in some cases make me break out more.
I'm past 2 days now and will report back after 2 weeks, i think i can control myself but it wont be easy but if i do clear up it will make it much easier. I just hope it helps me as much as it has for some of you making a big difference, i need some restored happiness and confidence in my life.

Me from 6/22/11 6:05 AM
This is getting tough I just had to write, each day it's more tempting it feels like this will put more stress on me I'm now passing 4 days without secretion (we need some humor dammit lol)
For a minor update I haven't broken out so far really, just my most recent around the jaw and chin areas but have begun going down now. I still have a lot of clearing up to do but so far this is a good sign that's keeping me optimistic.
Every damn week goes by in a flash, but this is gonna be the slowest 2 weeks, I hope everyone else is doing great, keep updating!

^ Thats good to hear
Its definitively not a easy thing to do but its also not impossible I think that keeping yourself busy really helps to get your mind off both masturbation and acne. That first 2 weeks is going to be like recovering from a crack addiction XD but once you past the first 2 week it gets 10 times easier.

^ True, i do hope it gets easier man.
This test is making me kinda understand what it must feel like for a drug addict, the pleasure aspect of this is so powerful and overwhelming for so many of us. The wide availability of the internet at your finger tips is my weakness, I agree and I def need more things to do to take it off my mind when I'm at home I just don't have much right now and my situation here sucks.
If I can get away with one time a week after this I will gladly accept that change as it too helps relieve stress, otherwise I just have to force myself not to do it anymore (yeah right) cause it's absolute misery looking like sh*t every week not to mention feeling. Unfortunately I'm not that strong to not care even when people say they don't care and not to worry about it, I just can't and I want to meet a girl so much but it totally kicks the confidence to the curb, and like someone said it's difficult to make eye contact especially with girls.
I'm 25 and athletic, should be out more trying to enjoy life, but this has ruined me for so many years.

^ I totally agree the fact that you can access porn so easy on the internet is what made this into such a problem now ... But the key thing here is to stay active. Like going to the gym, going to play a sport, hanging out with friends, even start playing video games do something you like to do that is very engaging and requires a lot of your focus so you don't get bored and end up masturbating. Also i would not recommend you to try to completely stop right now. You should just try to take a break like a 3 week-1 month break from it and start to do it again after in moderation , but if you feel you don't need to do it anymore than just simply stop because you don't need masturbation to relieve stress their is other things you can do and its better to go out and meet girls and relieve your sexual tension through that instead because that's healthier and more fulfilling.

^ Well put
I do breathing exercises which helps a lot with stress so yeah there are other ways with dealing with that. I want to get out more and if my face does clear up soon i'll be much happier. It would make me more comfortable with myself, It took a toll on my face but also my body, and reading all of this and how it correlates with how I've felt for years was amazing.
How people have experienced exhaustion, lack of focus and weight loss that's how I've been feeling, and when I look back to when it all started seems to fit right in place, I've hardly gained weight despite a high metabolism but it's really interesting.
I don't want to nor will I stop but regardless this was a good awakening, and will keep it moderate from now on (test once a week)
1-3 hours of pleasure a day for another week of hell, not worth it for me anymore.

before you limit it to once a week i really think you should just take a break completely first i know its hard but that's the best thing to do so your body can repair and restore itself

you have my support!! ^^ i am abstaining too, lol i always thought the word abstain was used for sex, and not masturbation =)

Very discouraging, i got like 5 new breakouts over the past day or 2 i haven't ejaculated in a week now. I'm not giving up have to give it a few more weeks but if this continues i'm just gonna be so pissed i want this sh*t to go away.
