Masturbation-acne in males does exist!

I think you might be replying to one of my posts Jack. Well regardless I know how you feel. This does exist for sure, no doubt in my mind. I spent 3 years doing this, not even on purpose. I can time how much I have sex and masturbate and not get acne as well. See the main thing with me though is that I don't have acne at all, none. I don't have even the tiniest pimple. I have very perfect skin. But when I masturbate for over 2 weeks roughly, I get oily as f**k skin, this causes me pimples and cysts and its so so very obvious, I mean come on; going from perfect skin to having cysts within 2 weeks of masturbating? Give me a break. People who don't believe us are the people who don't have this problem... Though honestly I think if I didn't have this problem, I wouldn't believe myself either, it does really sound farfetched. But it isn't, it's godamn true for me. I have scars from those cysts, the only cysts I ever got from jackin off. Don't f*****g tell me that there's no such thing as masturbation causing acne. 3 years of my f*****g life to figure this out: ridiculous. I had a older post in here but I can't find it as I don't have a account on here but it was very depressing, it was after I had stopped masturbating or having sex for a full year; and then after feeling very lonely starting again and then getting cysts that scarred my face. And within that year that I was abstinent I didn't get a single pimple, I had my normal usual perfect as possibly can be skin. For a whole year okay? That's a long godamn time. Then within 2 weeks of masturbating everyday I got cysts that scarred me, well I think it's been a few months since that post and I have to say I haven't masturbated since then, and guess what? Not a single pimple. My skin is back to perfect... the only thing that is killing me are those permanent indented scars I got from those cysts. f*****g hell they're horrible... I feel so guilty, I felt suicidal at one time but I think I'm okay now. And I'm the happiest frikkin guy on earth, for this to happen to me and make me this depressed... come on... how can you not believe? I can actually prove this in person lmao, that'd be disgusting but honestly I CAN. When I was a teenager I rarely used to masturbate, I keep looking at pictures of myself from those days and looking at how damn good my skin was. Never a single pimple, just really great skin. I'm 22 at the moment and I've screwed up my face from too much masturbation/sex. Another thing, the time I went abstinent for a whole year wasn't the first time I went abstinent, no way man, I had gone on and off for 3 years, months at a time; and each time I'd get acne from masturbating, then clear skin from abstaining. The reason for it being months at a time was because I was trying me damn hardest not to masturbate, it was really difficult and since I was a teenager my hormones were going crazy. After I basically gave in after stopping the masturbation for 2+ months, I would feel like a failure, I'd feel like a f*****g junkie... I think it was close to feeling like an addiction if you can call it that. That's the only reason I wanted to stop having sex and masturbating, it had nothing to do with the acne, I just felt like I needed to stop. That was when I was 18-20. I began masturbating at 18, rarely ever did it before then and as I had just gotten my own room, I found it insanely hard to stop masturbating with all that privacy. 18 is when my acne came... coincidence? Hell no. Of course at the time I had no idea that was the cause. I remember going to the dermatologist going "What the hell happened to my face? I've never had a pimples before in my life!" He just told me I had developed "adult acne." I naively thought that it could be fixed with some medicine, I didn't know about the world of acne nor the battle people had with trying to rid their acne. It's a f*****g war. So the f****r prescribed me antibiotics. Didn't do sh*t. Well I kept masturbating from 18-19 and I felt disgusted with myself, I had so much acne now at this point that I was so depressed and confused... I said wow... I need to change myself. Just out of that I tried very hard to give up masturbating. by 19-20 I had managed weeks at a time which wasn't enough to clear me, 2 weeks isn't enough at all to clear 1 year of damage. Well I stopped for a whole month for the first time, I was so proud but it didn't last long... I technically "relapsed" and I fell back into masturbating and to honest, I'm sure there's people out there who masturbate and have sex way more than I did/do and really, you shouldn't get acne from such an activity... but just our luck eh? Sad. Well back to my hell I went. Then midway into my 20's I managed 2 months, that frikkin stopped my pimples and I didn't really know what to think, I probably thought nothing of it, I was just trying hard to be abstinent. After the first 2 months I frikkin failed again. I felt so terrible, I ended up abstaining for 2 months again, and this time I noticed my skin change, it wasn't oily anymore, (before 18 years old I'd always had dryish skin) and I said wtf? I had a hunch that jerkin it might be causing acne but I laughed and said that isn't real, that's just a myth. (I wish I listened to myself earlier on.) Well then I screwed up AGAIN. And to get to the point I did this a few more times and when I finally turned 21 I just was covered in pimples so I just said you know what, I need to do something serious. When summer came, I flew to my relative's house to stay over for 2 months, that way I couldn't masturbate even if I wanted to. And I was so hesitant to go cause my family/relatives know that I don't have acne. So by me going with my new p***y face, I had basically intended to torture myself psychologically so that I'd want to rid of this acne. Also by 21 I had that hunch I had earlier on about masturbation-acne turned into a serious thing for me, I had to try it out but longer than 2 months at a time. After the 2 months at my relatives I went back home and managed to stay abstinent for up to a total of 8 months... my god... my skin had come back to normal... I was so elated, I was shocked, I wasn't sure if it was from abstaining because this was my first time abstaining for 8 months straight, but whatever it was I excited and I was moving on with life again thinking "wow yeah! the acne is finally over! no more adult acne!" I had only about 3 tiny permanent scars that were unnoticeable. Okay here's the deal guys. I f*****g had to masturbate just a little bit. I had gotten so turned on after 8 months of nothing, I said ya know what? I'll go ahead and do it. f**k. f**k. I ended up jackin off everyday for 2 weeks and guess what? I got around 10 serious pimples on my cheeks, forehead, and between the eyebrows. I was stunned this time. Because this time it was for real, this time it was obvious. Masturbation CAUSES acne FOR ME. 2 weeks, everyday, and I screwed up my face, and the worst part of it is those pimples ended up scarring permanently, whereas they never did before. I guess since I stopped masturbating/sex for so so long, and then started abruptly my skin flipped out... the acne just came back worse. I hadn't had a single pimple in those 8 months where I was abstinent. This is so f*****g long by now, I'm sorry, you've probably quit reading already, this ended up happening again. I finally had stopped for a full year this time and my skin was perfect again, other than those permanent scars. Well I frikkin masturbated again, I can't just not do it, especially after a whole f*****g year. And this time, is the reason I'm even here typing this up, this time, I got severe cyst scars on my face, I really do. I stopped for a few months and the acne isn't even there at all, just those scars that keep reminding me of how I screwed up. I felt suicidal. But I'm doing this sh*t again, I'm abstaining for real this time, and each time I failed I got stronger and I can abstain longer. Though with this much trial and error I basically found the magic number for how long I can masturbate/have sex for before I actually break out. So I'm set for life, I just can't have sex as much as a normal person can, or as much as I really want to. This was my life the past few years. Acne changes you. I don't have it anymore, but the scars will always scream at me in the mirror, I'll never ever abuse my poor penis again lmao. *sigh*

Hey Tim,i actually read all that,and i understand what your going thru because its the same thing for me,ive been trying to abstain as long as i could,but i always reach 1 month or less then fail,right now i have completely just gave up,i stopped trying to abstain,i masturbate every 2-3 days,this whole thing is making me really depressed...

I do experience this too, from a very young age. Everytime somebody would joke about masturbation causing acne I laughed. When I was 16 I moved to new york, out of my country to a uncle's house and i stop masturbatin or havin intercourse because i wasnt in my own house anymore, then my acne started dissapearing. I then started my sexual life again and my acne got really bad, I get acne everywhere, and when I get acne in my head i lose large amounts of hair. I'm 18 now and i have been experimenting with this for 2 years to make sure it wasn't just a coinsidence, and believe me its no. and the hard thing is that at my age its hard to control some impulses so i can only stop doing it for certain amount of time. One medication that could help is Isotretinoin, google it and talk to your doctor about it, its a little dangerous so its hard to get our doctor to prescribe it to you, try to read a little bit about it to see if you agree.

I'm 100% agree with u. . . .coz i also suffering from same problem. . I also want to live a normal life as my friends do. . . But i only get depress from my worse life. . I can help u. . . I find a way but i think u can't do this. . .

For some it does exist, and for some it doesn't. I understand how hard it can be to stop masturbating, but it seems that that may be the only option... Well there is one other option!! It may seem a little unorthodox but in order to regain the valuable face clearing nutrients you must take them back in.=( Yes... you must eat your sperm. It is the only way to masturbate without any side affects! If you dont believe me... try it yourself. If im wrong, no harm done. If im right, your problem is solved!!!   

Ewww i'd rather have acne then swallow my semen everyday.

guys may be its true that mastbt leads to acne cause, i also gone through this for many years that is the ACNE phase and ACNE SCARS phase, every skin is of different type and it needs different remedies. but i recommend few medicines.
1. EAT some amount of GARLIC before going to bed, believe me it controls acne
2. you can use FUCIBET cream, apply its small amount on top of acne
3. if you have acne scars, you can go through treatment called CROSS, ask skin specialist for this.
4. for SCARS there is another treatment called " fractional laser CO2 ", ask skin specialist for this

i did it and i got better results

What's up guys? (lol no pun intended) It's me again and I can't believe one of you told me to swallow my own jizz. Lol. Even if that worked, meh I don't think that'd be too great. On another note to the guy who told me about remedying acne scars: I will never attempt to fix them. That's not the point. The whole BS about this is that I can't have sex/masturbate/enjoy myself as much as I want to. Actually my body is pretty limited to how much I'm able to have sex before it starts damaging me. It's already damaged me. I want THAT to just never have happened. Right now I've got no acne since I stopped masturbating for a few months but the hyperpigmentation is still there, but worse, the permanent "indented" kind of scars will never go away. I want that to never have happened. I'm not going to go out and try to fix the external problem when I want the internal problem gone completely. Sad thing is I'll probably never have a cure for this in my lifetime except for abstaining... ugh. I actually saw my older post and I didn't care for grammer as you can see haha, It's just straight on raging and venting out my stress. I really can't stand this sh*t. No one will ever even understand how this is. No one will ever know about this disease, or whatever you want to call it. I think only you guys understand, and from a few posts I've read, I think the specific ones fit my exact problem, and I mean every detail. Some of you other guys really have to stop any sexual activity for at least half a year and then see if that clears you up, and if it does, just never do it again. Lol harder to actually do but yeah... I've got unnecessary scars on my face. I always wonder why this happens to only a select few of us. Why is it so rare, why the f**k does it have to exist. It's so f*****g rare that people don't even believe it's a possibility. Doesn't science not really know too much acne in general? Why is it so hard to believe then? I never would've believed in this even being a possibility until it ACTUALLY happened to me, hell it happened to me and I didn't believe it for a while. This sh*t is ridiculous. I can't believe I'm sitting here actually typing this. 5 years ago my life was f*****g normal, I used to be godamn f*****g normal. WOW. 

Hi guys, masturbation does lead to acne. This has happened to me too many times. 

i am also experience this in my body..............

I have acne problems when i jack off too but i am still into testing out whether this is due to over ejaculation (excessively) or just due to other problem like HPT not stabilized even i am 22 this year.

Anyone have any co-relation occurrences that you still break out even if you only did like ONCE or Twice a week?

I am figuring out once every three days might be alright as long you dont do more than one consecutive masturbation each time.

Please do share with us.

help me same case as you all . I am 17 year old . I get pimples almost instantly when i masturbate . But i can control myself the problem is that when i stop i start getting nightfall until the old sperms are out of my system so its like a dirty cycle for me
no masturbation = nightfall = pimple
masturbation = pimples
help me

I am suffering from this too, today is my 3rd day, i am planning on abstaining for 1 month. Will post here every week so that i reach my goal!

today is my 3rd day, i am planning to abstain for a month

my 1st month of abstaining i had 3 wet dreams. so far im on 3rd week without any ejaculation. wow thats nearly 2 months without masterbation its hard. But i can see my acne clearing and also regaining my confidence. oh and whenever i had those wet dreams in the morning i could feel my face was smoother/oilier when i washed it so increase oil production is probably one of the after effects of ejaculation :(
