Masturbation-acne in males does exist!

Just a heads up I have noticed anything with hormones in it makes the break outs worse. Like if you are going to drink milk try to drink 2% or whole due to the fact that skim milk has more hormones in it. Yogurt is a culpret also. Something in cookies (sugar cookies) seem to cause the topical acne (the small little popable ones) and ejaculation cause the big under the skin ones. They will form jaw line, back of neck and head, on your back along your spine and shoulders.

Things I have noticed. I went well over the 40 days 40 nights deal and I found that the acne stayed away after the meeting the new girlfriend for about 2 weeks and then started to come back.

I am almost convinced it has to do with low sperm count not with the ejaculation process.

I am willing to bet acne is a bacterial disease and there is a natural antibody that is produced in sperm or better yet sperm is the antibody. I have noticed when I am on antibiotics I do not break out as bad so i am guessing there is a link.

I started suspecting ejaculation about 5 yrs ago but due to the relationship I was in I could not say hey hunny lets hold off for a while so I can test my theory lol but once I was out of it I have confirmed this is what the problem is.

Other things to know if you have this condition

Stay away from these things for 5-7 days after ejaculation:
1.)Milk with hormones (Skim has more hormones than 2% or whole)
2.)Yogurt (high in hormones)
3.)Chocolate
4.)Energy Drinks (Redbull, Rockstar...)
5.)Cookies (penutbutter, Sugar, MnM, Chocolate...)
6.)Caffeen
7.)keep Scented products like body sprays or cologne off face and neck
8.)Weed (this will make you way more turned on anyway, ull be jerkin more)
9.)Potato Chips
10.)Ice Cream made from milk (not sure about gelato however)
11.)Spices


I am in the middle of experimenting with because I have a hunch on:
1.)Onions
2.)Hamburger vs Chicken(I have noticed quicker results with chicken)
3.)Tomatoes (this I have linked to dry cracked knucks in the winter)
4.)Candy/Sugar (I do not eat alot of this so I am unsure but I suspect it would do the same as chocolate and redbull)
5.)Smoking (I went 6 months before quiting but still broke out)
6.)Granola


Things I have ruled out as culprets:
1.)Fruits
2.)Water (heh go figure)
3.)salads (without tomatoes and onions for now)

My conclusion so far is if you are going to lose a load all you can do is drink nothing but water for the next 5 days and pray for minimal damage or you can just anillate yourself by endulging in all the no no's above. Hehe trust me your face will look like a war zone for at least a month if you do.

Oh one more tip go out and buy 7 sets of pillow cases and change them daily. wash them in an unscented wash detergent. try not to cuddle with your blanket unless you want to go out and buy 7 sets of blankets too.

Oh and a great tip to keep from yanking is to shy away from looking at anything erotic.

OK If I find anything else out about this I will come back and post it. Until then good luck.

Oh applying St Ives Medicated scrub(Salicylic Acid 2%) First then apply Proactive Renewing Clenser(benzoyl peroxide) is what I do every morning and night to control the topical acne caused by touching your face/dirty face. You know the little ones.

^Congrats completing the 40 days 40 nights deal. My best was 30 days lol.

I have experimented time and time again and my skin ALWAYS gets worse for the next 5-7 days after ejaculation.

I don't think yogurt isn't bad at all. As long as you get the ones that aren't packed with sugar then your fine. The many probiotics in yogurt is very helpful with bowel regulation and in turn makes your skin healthier. Every morning I eat a bowl of yogurt and papaya for breakfast. Papaya contains very good digestive enzymes such as pepsin, and along with the probiotics from yogurt yield great results.

Drinking 8 water bottles a day helps a lot too.

I know refraining from masturbation is tough, especially for me since I'm a turned on person lol. but in order to gain what we want we sometimes have to make dire sacrifices. Everyday when I wake up I feel better about myself for maintaining this commitment. Hopefully my body stops "changing" and goes to normal. I'm only 22 so I can still hang on for quite a while. Good luck everyone. Salvation lies within.

wow honestly i dont know where you are all getting this from? I either masturbate or have sex mostly everyday and my skin is clean and pimple free so i cannot believe this at all. I consistently clean my skin with just simply water and do not have a problem.
To me this THEORY is completely false maybe all you need is to clean yourself a little more?

Welcome to reality, bud. Everyone's body is different. You seem to be luckier than we are, entirely based on genetics. You can release as much sperm as your heart desires. We can't. Do you think we would continue a thread inputting our personal beliefs and problems regarding some theory that is completely false? Grant you, it's entirely true, and I'm living proof. You're the kind of person who wouldn't believe it until you saw it. We aren't lab-rats, however.

ok ok. Im tired of this BS. Yes it is true. It is can be caused by masturbation. But what the hell why do I want a cure and all i get when i search these sites and search engines is discussion on whether it is true or not. F*****k sake. Can we please sort this out. Ive been reearching this for years and feel like im the only one bothering on trying to fix it rather than discuss it being true. Now im gonna briefly give my advice on what helps and why I belive it happens. Now im sure you have all read the herbal love website about over masturbation. If not read it. SOme stuff true some not. Im only gonna talk about the acne side of things. Not the side efects of over masturbating. Very over exaggerated. Now with the basics. Your body is amazing. It can heal and recover from almost anything. SOme people have sensitive skin some dont. But from my understading masturbating too much releases too much DHT and in some way an excess of histamine. Hard to explain why (i study pharmacy btw) but it DHT can clog pores etc and the histamine irritate the skin. The most sensitive skin on the body is the face. And too much causes acne. This is a really c**p brief summary and id do some research before to understand. Also too much masturbation causes excess heat (over production of hormones and dopamine etc which needs to be relaesed as something to release heat to the surface. hence acne. I sometimes over do masturbation 3 times a day. WHen i reduce it helps acne. Try to mainain about 2-3 times a week. Its a gd balance for everything. Once you have started masturbation you must release otherwise too much heat builds up. Hence going 40days with no masturbation will cause acne. Now for what helps. For started I take vitamin A&D tablets, zinc (50mg twice a day), and the important saw palmetto to reduce DHT in body (even helped my hairloss). It works good. Plus I take pinealtonin which has 5htp and st johns wort etc (see herballove.com) which as far as i understand reduces the amount of histamine etc. I take fish oil too which acts as an antiinflammtory which helps reduct the excess prostaglandins. I dont really have tme to exlain but do some research. Milk thistle i take not sure but some ppl say it helps detoxify liver. Used to i suppose. I take a the burdock tablets to cleanse the bloody. (most this stuff is available from online or holland and barrats). I do take some over masturbation meds i. viagrowth iv, moodmax, kohinoor gold etc. Cant say it helps acne tho. But overall this all helps plus the reduction in masturbation. Try it and see. It makes sense. I have alot of acne scars too for those seraching sites and looking for answers. Ive tried alot of things from skin needling etc. I belive homeopathy does help. Im taking silicea 3x and thiosinaminum 3x (4tabs 3times a day) plus I use the microdermx cream (serach online) use bioskincare cream (similar to elicina) straight after. It helps loads. The skin needling did for abit. You can buy kits from australia etc.

Basically i havent expalined much or given much detail. I dont work for any of these comapanies ive had this sh*t acne since i was 13. And i hate it. But ive seen vast imrpvemnt with this. I just wanted to give some ppl a boost in their search and understanding and maybe a kickstart to do their own research etc. This is what works for me. Not saying it will for you its just an idea. If you would like any help more advice etc ask. safe

Dude, this is crazy good information! Thanks so much :D

i agree with u guys. I had mixtures of whiteheads, papules, pustules, cysts & nodules & tried alots of treatments with no perm results... :-( That is where i gave up on all types of anti~acne products which promise to keep my face clean & healthy... I started noticing that whenever i stop masturbating for a week or so the acne on my face were were starting to recover & getting lesser but after i resume masturbating its all back to square one & sometimes the conditions of the acne worsen... :-( So now i use mild facial cleanser & apply acne whitening gel while eating alots of fruits & drinking alots of water trying to reduce the acne. Still the acne persist so now i'm gonna to stop masturbating for 1 to 2mths & see how is the result. =)

Yeah I have a problem with this too.. I've been idle for a week now and have noticed completely clear spots on parts of my face. so it's really clearing up. lets just see how long i can last

yip my first acne spots started and the heat face syndrome all began after my very first proper ejaculation back 12 yrs ago when i was 15.
there isn't a chance of me cutting back on masturbation i love it love the feeling so much. if nk forever could come back and bullet point what can be taken orally or what cleaning procedures help reduce acne. Both masturbation and sex will induce spots i came back from a weeks holiday with an ex girlfriend after having sex foreplay etc basically ejaculating 20-25 times in a week and my acne flared up worse. ive been on all drugs accutane worked wonders but wore off. i am looking for non prescription treatment so that i can jerk off in comfort daily and not worry about the effects first physically then psychologically......

i completely get you man,it seems like everytime i ejaculate,my skin gets dark marks and my head starts hurting a little,i try to stop so many times,but after 4-5 days i cant control,i see things everyday that gets me going,i see the results after i stop for a while to,but its toooo harddddddd

I've noticed the same thing. Couple of theories: Maybe having a lower sperm count (side effect of yankin' on the crank) triggers the release of hormones that signal the body to produce more sperm. These hormones might cause breakouts in individuals with our "affliction." Also, could be that at times when our hormones are stronger (the levels of hormones fluctuate in men as well as women in a more-or-less monthly cycle) we're more likely to jerk off, as hormones make us turned on, and we're more likely to get pimples, cause hormones cause acne. One might not cause the other, but they might go together sequentially. Just a couple of ideas.
Good luck, you pack of wankers!

Okay Im in on this. I noticed my acne was clearing up...then boom after ejaculating. Ive been drinking LOTS of water and fruits. I am also using Neutragena. It is Feb. 14 and I will post back here in 2 weeks to post the results!!! :-)

alright so here it goes. I am 20 years old male... been suffering from acne since 13... progressively been getting worse and let me tell you this... masturbation has always been a normal activity... could maybe even say im addicted to it sometimes doing it 3x a day... I've had girlfriends and all that and been sexually active, but still acne and masturbation is no lie. I recently have been changing my diet eliminating fast food, drinking green shakes in the morning (anything green put in a juicer) + fruits water all that good stuff..... well anyways i also stopped masturbating all for about 3 weeks now.. my acne subsisted drastically and everything was going great... well for some stupid reason i ended up masturbating 3 times throughout the day 2 days ago.. guess i was just really bored.. and i had a feeling the consequences... well sure enough today i wake up to find a mass breakout of whiteheads. acne has already caused a great deal of emotional strain not to mention what its doing to me mentally... this is ridiculous just know that you guys are not alone.... this is a real issue and unfortunately i doubt its going to be addressed medically anytime soon.... so just stay strong and if you want clear skin RESIST from sexual activity. ( just saying that makes me sick... im 20 years old supposed to be in my sexual prime) eughhhhhhhhhhhh

chillax dudes. acne is just a normal part of growing up for most teenagers. 85% of males have acne to some extent or another. in fact, i noticed that 8 out of 10 guys and 4 out of 10 girls in my senior high school class have acne.

now i did some research and here's what i found out. male hormones (like testosterone) are the primary cause of acne. they stimulate sebum (skin grease) production, and that's the stuff that is contained in these gay-ass pimples we get. both males and females have male hormones, but males obviously have more of them, and that's why males tend to have rougher/greasier skin than females. sexual intercourse does indeed increase your testosterone levels, making you more aggressive, more manly, but also increasing the severity of your pimple breakouts. i also noticed that males who get acne tend to have deeper voices and more athleticism than average.

i had baby-ass clear skin until i turned 17 and 4 months. my acne is -thankfully- very light, i only get 2-3 pimples a month and they don't leave scars. but i do notice my skin tends to break out 1-2 days after masturbation sessions. i'm gonna get myself busy with weightlifting and studying for now, hoping to hold up until the prom. f**k porn man, i've been looking at that sh*t every single day since i turned 13. it's time to become a grown man.

respect.

{Um, you just stated that acne is "just a normal part of growing up"...yet you're so nervous of getting it yourself. Hippocrite much?
