Masturbation-acne in males does exist!

I agree to what you have said. It is indeed sad. But there others like us going through this similar problem.

I have to say... I wish I would have acknowleged the acne-masterbation connection sooner...

Every time I browsed the

 forums and a masterbation thread came up, one or two individuals would immediately discredit the theory, so I wrote it off as BS. Well what do you know... The masterbation-acne connection is very true in my case.

If I want clear skin I know what I have to do. I have to abstain for as long as possible. The minute I ejaculate, I can feel my face start to burn and itch... within a day I'll have new acne forming... and if I keep masterbating, my skin with turn bumpy, greasy, red, and irritated all over.

Now I that I know what the solution is, the difficult part comes in the execution. I think I can do it. I want clear skin very badly.

Hey guys!
I know the cause!

When we ejaculate, the pores on our faces temporarily close thus trapping dirt in our pores and causing pimples with in a few days.

Apparently physicians have been studying and many have found this to be the problem.

I have found that if I put some type of benzol peroxide on my face while masturbating helps but ONLY SLIGHTLY!

If I masturbate more than once within a week or two, this method does not work.

Guys, I've looked into it. Apparently, some people have acne as a symptom of Zinc deficiency, which is triggered by masturbation since you lose a good amount of zinc with every load. I've been taking Zinc supplements and the results are immediate. No more breakouts starting 24 hours after the first pill. Since my dosage is 50mg which is several times the recommended daily value, I've made it a habit to only pop a pill before I masturbate to ensure that I won't risk getting zinc poisoning.

 

It's not exactly a perfect solution that'll let you masturbate effortlessly compaerd to others, but its the best way I've been able to cope. Plus zinc has its positive effects too. Just be sure to pop the pill with food because most zinc dietary supplements tend to induce vomiting when taken alone.

I also forgot to mention! Assuming your dosage is 50mg of zinc per pill, do not take it more than once in the same 24 hours.

Hey everyone,

I'm a 33 year old guy from northern Europe who shares the same problems as you, if not worse. To make a long story fairly short: it all started with seborrheic dermatitis and teenage acne in puberty. This was a living hell at times, especially the seb derm. My face also got extremely oily, so the only way out, as I saw it, was Accutane. So I did Accutane and sure enough, my skin cleared up - BUT: what I know now is that I took a way too high dose. Doing Accutane has left me even worse off. Now my skin is hyper sensitive and I believe I got some kind of rosacea from it, with flushing and blushing etc. And on top of it all - the acne still comes and goes.

I was reading every post in this thread with great interest because I have been suspecting something similair. I have tried every damn product out there, and nothing works. I have even done laser treatments which didn't do sh*t. In fact, I'm doing some now again out of pure desperation. The doc uses 3-4 different types of lasers each session. So far I've done two and the third is coming up later this week. Results? Nothing that I can see so far.

I also think this has to come from the inside somehow. And, being a guy, I also enjoy the occasional "release". Sometimes a little too much and often :-/ I saw that some people have had good results with Saw Palmetto, which inhibits DHT. I just bought some and will begin to try it as soon as it arrives. Has anyone else here tried it?

To make this situation even worse is that I've met this girl online from another country who wants to come over and see me. And right now I'm in the middle of an outbreak. There is no way I'm going to see her like this, I'd rather die. This is seriously stressing me out and the pressure is starting to get overwhelming. What the hell am I supposed to do? I cannot keep stalling forever, eventually she'll get sick and tired of me.

Btw, I have also used vitamin B5 with some success I guess, so I'm taking up that again. But the breakouts come from nowhere anyway. So that's it for my self pleasuring as well, I will simply have to suffer. And tomorrow I'm seeing a Chinese medicine specialist. I have nothing to loose, the Asians can fix everything else so why not me :)

I have been told I look good and bla bla bla. I cannot see anything of that in the mirror, all I see is everything that is wrong. And sometimes I'm really questioning if this is the life I want to live. When I was in my 20's I used to think it will all disappear when I get older. I will be 34 soon and it's still going on. I'm very pessimistic about the future.

Hi Guest,

I'm sorry for the trouble and pain this major problem is causing you. Unfortunately, many of us are affected by this unfortunate problem. I'm with you and please don't give up. There is no immediate solution, and curing this problem will require patience and considerable time. Please take care and Don't give up. We are in this together.

Thanks. So I went to this Chinese medicine place today and they looked at everything I expected from reading others experiences - pulse, the tounge and asked a series of questions. They concluded that I have some kind of imbalance in my body. So far so good.

I then got to experience acupunture for the first time in my life and then got some special herb blend to put in water over night and then boil and drink several times the next few days. Next visit is on Saturday.

I have no idea if this will do anything, but I have nothing to lose (except for some money). If anybody's interested I'll report back during the weekend.

Hi,

Please get back to us with your Chinese herb blend experience.

Hi guys,

I have the same problem and i'm in my early 20's, I have had this sh*t since I started jacking off and having sex ( 10 years now ). I have tried changing diet, working out, drinking plenty of water, lots of fresh fruit and veg, zinc tablets, B5 vitamin, multi vitamins, chinese herbal tablets for acne, over the counter topical products (benzoyl peroxide), acne creams ect, even washing with sulphur soap and shower gels for acne, face masks for acne. NOTHING WORKS.

So then I realised that it must be something else that I am doing that is triggering acne, and it was jacking off on a daily basis/having sex. I sometimes jacked off more than 5 times a day and then my acne was really bad. So I decided to experiment with myself by stopping this enjoyable thing for a week, and guess what, my acne has decreased, oiliness has dropped. Then I started jacking off and everything comes back.

I once did an experiment and I managed to hold up for about 25 days and that was when my skin was the clearest since 14 years of age.  So it is ejaculation that is causing our oil glands to produce too much oil that is being blocked and then comes the infection and a spot. By the way, I have acne on my face, neck, on my shoulders, back, chest and even on my head :S.

We have to understand that we can't live without sex/masturbation we are living human beings and it's a natural thing so I guess what we can do is try and limit the activity maybe to 1-2 times a week and even it out so that hormones stay balanced. I'm gonna try abstein for a week and then do it once a week and later not more than twice a week and see how that goes. Btw I have been on antibiotics (lymocycline) for more than 5 months and they do help to some point, all the painfull spots on my head, face and back have gone it's just red marks now and some spots still popping out but If I stop taking antibiotics for 5 days it's gonna be hell for me. After this antibiotic course finishes I will go visit my derm and he will put me on Roacutane. But like the previous guy said acne still there after Roacutane, it's a decision that I will have to make to take it or not. All of these medications (antibiotics and roacutane) are a temporary solution, but we need to find a way how to stop this production of too much oil in our glands (ejaculation) but we can't not have sex at the same time all our life. I think everyone has to experiment with themselfs and see how their bodies react by limiting sexual activity.

Sometimes I just get so sick of it that I think it's never gonna end, you see some people with clear skin and you just wish you had their genetics or whatever just to have a clear skin. It's so frustrating to live with this sh*t. And the worst thing I guess is that in 2012 the western civilised medicine cannot cure this desease, infact they can't even accept the fact that there is a connection between MALE EJACULATION AND ACNE! I think they need to research on this one and come up with a solution for us people suffering. I just don't think this will happen in our lives, maybe in 22nd century. :(((((((

Hi. I truly undestand you feelings. I did the Roaccutane. It really helped and my acne dissapeared but I have still troublesome oily face. The stupid part is that I don't have that much oil for the hair and it feels off quite fast.. I just don't get it. So anyways... You are not looking at it as a marketing industry and that's what all these products are about.
I bet that there is actually a cure but nobody wants to release it because the over - the counter products will be a waste of time and no business for the companies ;) ... So yeah.. We are screwed up xD It's a conspiracy I tell yaa xD

The guy who started this discussion has a point. I'd say more research needs to be done in this area. Howver, I am afraid medicine might say no to this because if this was so simple you would stop buy expensive medicine, antibiotics and other c**p. So no profits for them.

 

 

Try this. 2 tablespoons of garbanzo bean flour, 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 1 tablespoon of almond oil, and a little bit of milk just enough to moisten the flour and stir it up til it looks like yellow pudding and apply it all over your face for 30 minutes then wash off gently. Trust it works
