Masturbation-acne in males does exist!

none of thoses work.

hi guys, 

DAY 2 of abstinence

I haven't jacked off in 6 days.

DAY 7 and going stronger than ever.

It is true, at least it happens to me. I have abstained from masturbation for 9 days.

Keep it strong, guys.  Day 4 for me.  Keep a journal and check back on this thread every day to keep yourself strong.  Realize that you have so much potential in your inner body, don't get carried away in some fantasy and end up abusing yourself physically and mentally.

this is not a diary-thread, thanks ;-)

I've read quite a few posts people have made and it's nice to see that I am not the only one that has serious problems with my acne. I know a lot of people say they have tried everything but it's usually a gross over exaggeration but in my case it is not. I've tried every over the counter drug available in Canada and The United States. Pro active doesn't work at all and really everytime I see their comercials on tv it pisses me off. I've even tried prescribed pills like Apo-Doxy and Apo-Tetra which are both acne medications and they didn't work either. I tried tropical prescribed creams like Differen Gel and Clindoxyl gel and no luck there either and these are suppose to be the best stuff and not cheap either, Apo-doxy $100 a bottle which only lasts a few months, Apo-Tetra $40 a bottle for a one month supply, Clindoxyl gel $70, Differen Gel $90.. not to mention the prices of over the counter acne medication that everyone here is farmilar with. I myself am only 22 I can't afford to be wasting $1000's of dollars a year on acne medication that rarely ever works and I think you will all agree. I had bad acne when I was in high school but it was still managable but once I hit 19 it just got out of control and every year I get older it gets worse. My friends and family don't seem to understand they don't know what it's like spending every min of the day trying to clear up my skin constantly trying new stuff and destroying my face because lets face it most acne medications aren't known for feeling nice on your face. There are times when my acne is so bad it hurts to open my mouth or even talk, can't eat can't do anything. I've had depression now since I was 18 because of acne I have no life and as pathetic as I known that is I can't do anything about it. I don't like to leave my house when my face isn't clear because it gives me severe anxiety problems and my face is never clear. I do go to work which is about the only time I leave my house.. luckily I work security and work alone the night shift so I don't have to worry about anyone seeing me. Really this is no way to live! As I am sure I am not the only one here who has thought this at one point or another I have thought about commiting suicide many times and I am well aware of how pathetic and stupid that sounds so I don't need to be informed of this. Luckily I don't beleive in suicide so I will never go threw with it but if I did believe in it I probably would have taken the easy way out a long time ago. I feel as if I've wasted so much of my life that I will never get back because of acne that I have lost countless opportunities and friends because of this. Most of the time life feels hopeless and I am honestly just ready to give up.. It seems for every pimple I start to clear up 3 more take it's place, like every time I almost have one completely gone the next day it's just back in the same place and worse then the first time, I get so frustrated I am willing to try anything. I've tried the whole no drinking pop, no eating fast food or greasy foods, just drinking water, taking vitamins none of this works! I am going to try this whole masturbation thing and see if it works and hopefully it does.  ***this post is edited by moderator *** *** private e-mails not allowed*** Please read our Terms of Use

Hey buddy,

Hey ShatteredMonk, I know exactly how you feel. You are still young at 22, there's a whole life ahead of you. The more depressed you get, the more likelihood you want/are going to masturbate. It's a endless vicious cycle. Everyone has to go through masturbation crisis one way or another in his/her life.

Masturbation does not only cause physical stress to one's body, this shows up in acne, it also causes mental stress to the body. The road to recovery can be slow and painful, but one has to stay on track.

Do a quick read up on Masturbation --> Androgen ----> Acne, you will know what I mean. The key is to get hormones in balanced.

Also, make sure you seek out for professional help as it will speed up your mental and physical healing process.

I'm seeing a naturalpath to get a hormone test done this week... Again, it's a slow and painful road and we are in it together.

God bless you, my friend.

That it is! Your right that depression does lead to masturbation and also a lot of meaningless sex which also isn't good for the body probably worse even seeing as your hormones are on overdrive when your with a hot girl. It's also a vicious cycle being the fact you break out more when your stressed and your constantly stressing when you have a lot of acne which only makes it worse..  So what is this hormone test you are going for?

Buddy, there are several tests, one of them is called Sativa, and the other one the doctor is considering is called,  ***this post is edited by moderator *** *** web addresses not allowed***
