I have had the same experience as these other people, where sex/masturbation produces an outbreak of severe acne. I am not prone to believe in myths and wives tales that have no scientific backing. I am currently in my third year of a biochemistry program with the intention of going to medical school and I usually require real solid scientific facts to believe anything, so believe me when I say I have noticed a real correlation between sexual activity and acne. For a long time I thought i was crazy after reading all these articles saying not that there is as of yet no proof that sexual activity could cause acne, but rather downright denying that there is any possibility that this could be so. That is until i read all these stories which describe too identicaly what has been happening to me most of my post pubescent life.

On top of this I would like to add that this connection between acne and coitus was made by myself, I was never told that masturbation could cause acne, so this is not a psychosomatic reaction to some wives tale.

Don't you think it is possible that in rare cases some genetic default could cause an inflammatory response of the sebaceous glands in response to the androgens that are released during coitus and orgasm. It doesn't seem to me as far fetched as experts seem to think, seeing as the relationship between hormones and acne is very poorly understood (acne is not lethal therefore it does not attract the funding and research that say retrovirus or cancer research does).

I would just like some recognition that we are not backward simpletons who think that our acne can predict the weather. This hypothesis is not that ridiculous.

As a side note I underwent a full reacutane treatment when I was 15. It helped a little, but did not reverse the problem. I still have the same symptom that seems to be caused by the same activity.

hey guys   :-)
u all know that is is a big pleasure to masturbate, and it is a thing making ur penis ready for practical sex.

BUTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

It will cause pimples on ur face and body (for sure). let me share my experience..........
I started masturbating at an age of 12(thanks  to  the teengirl who was changin XD), i had my first ejaculation at that time. That laid path to ma pleasures, And it was continued and its frequency increased rapidly. I felt me getting week and so does ma masturbation product it went like watery and sometimes,i used to cum only a drops. i used to have 2-3 erections per day before, and it lead to pimples on ma face and on ma back, within a day or two. and they were very irritating to bear. Before I started masturbation my skin was so soft and face was so clean like a baby butt. The culprit was MB:-S
 when i controlled masturbating, i felt a change in ma skin,there were no new ones on ma face and i felt kinda strong and confident. Now i masturbate and ma cum is like a rigid concentrated and at full throttle. remember testosterone is like a liquid muscle and dont let it go a waste. There is no doubt, "Masturbation definitely relieves stress but at the cost of ur beauty. remember there are many other ways to relieve that shitty stress".

I was able to get over the issue, coz i controlled ma pleasure(know its a tough job:| but u have to),followed these

* reduce ur frequency to 2-3 times per month, remember that u are juzz throwing ur muscle

* try drinking water alot, this will try shredding the existing ones

*  have pleasure with ur packet,but control ejaculation loss of semen causes excitation of hormones and it leads to black heads,

* have a bath soon u have ur engine worked.

 At last its a completely reverse case when u have sex, it wont lead to any pimples and blackheads in fact it is very beneficial to both  the partners. So control ur feelings, and explode a volcano when ur partner comes :-|

i masturbate like 2 times a day, and my acne was really bad, when i didnt masturbate so much. Its gotten better now with more exercise, sex and masturbation. And also after visiting a dermatologist, but i still had some after that and they went away on their own. The real problem is your touching your acne and popping them.
Instead of resisting masturbating try resisting touching your face, even a little bit for a week. dont over wash, just be normal without the touching pricking poking, anything just let them be. 

Youll see your acne get way better in as little as a week, a few new ones from poking at them before will still come up, but the ones you had would be going away. They will still be their but as a tiny mark and not that red open look that you hate after you pop a pimple.

If anything the only time you should ever "pop" a pimple is when you can see this one little tiny mark that has been their for like 3 weeks, looks a bit like its cratered in and kind of like a black head, You take a hot shower, grab some tweezers and gently press around it, youll see it rise alittle bit, then get some paper and press gently down and into (as if popping) this little thing will come out, will look dried and kind of dirty, if blood comes up just grab a small piece of tissue paper or whatever, clean the blood off and apply pressure.

 DONT TOUCH THAT AREA AGAIN, AND DONT TEMP YOURSELF TO POPPING ANYTHING ELSE ON YOUR FACE 

It will be tempting, i know but just walk away and keep applying pressure to the area, after awhile just remove and carry on with your day. give that area another full day and it will be completely gone and closed up.

Ive had really bad acne, and suffered from, you can call it, and acne popping addiction. if i start i wouldnt stop and i would notice it get worse everytime, but i always gave myself some excuse.  when you finally stop and let it all be, you feel better and will look better

best way to get rid of pimples is drink one glass of water with natural lemon or lime juice before masturbation and after you finished wash your face with detergent or any harsh soap, after drying wash again with normal soap and use moisturiser works for me everytime just give this a try and enjoy but no more than twise a day please.........................ssm

i've been researching if this case is true or not because I have the same dilemma. It took me quite some time to notice it but I knew what was causing me to break out. It was when I was just about to finish middle school and I just started having sex. Whether it's masturbation or sex, overnight, I would get acne, one or even more than two. Worst part is that they would be very big, not your average pimples/acne. From then on, I've change my diet and my routine of how I approached of not getting any more acne. Let's face it, you will always be self-conscious about your acne and how everyone else have perfectly clear skin. Now, I'm in college and I would have little pimples here and there but RARELY nowdays.

I don't know if anyone has the same skin type or same reaction your body have after ejaculating but my method seemed to work out for me throughout the years.

First, and foremost : DRINK DRINK DRINK DRINK DRINK WATER ALL DAY. Everyone knows that water is good for you and washes bacterias that seem to help you break out. I started doing this when I was weight lifting (I still do) and need to be hydrated all the time. Then, after having sex, I would drink a cup of water, which in my theory, helps alot.

Cut down on masturbating/sex. If you can't, control yourself and not let your little soldiers run free. In my theory, If you do have sex and/or masturbate and not orgasm, theres no harm. 

If you have oily skin, a facewash doesn't hurt. I use a daily scrub called Acne Control All in One from Neutrogena. It doesn't over dry your skin not make it oily.


AGAIN, drinking water is a must. Even if your not thirsty, try to drink alot of water daily and practice self control.

again, this is just how my body react to when I take good care of my skin, particularly, my face since thats where I only get my acne at. I've been doing the same routine for couple years now and its working out great for me. not the clearest of all skin, but I don't get crazy big pimples or breakout anymore. Just like I said, I get pimples now and then, but nothing major, maybe one in two months at the most.

READ THIS.. THIS IS TRUE.

I WOULD SAY THAT IF SOMEONE HAD DO TOO MUCH MASTURBATION, THEN AFTER U MASTURBATE IF YOU EAT SOME FOODS LIKE. PEANUTS,CHICKEN,EGG AND FOODS THAT PROCESSED BY BUTTER OR OIL. IT WILL CAUSE ACNE INTO YOUR FACE FOR THOSE FOODS.

IF YOU DID'T DO TOO MUCH MASTURBATION. THEN YOU WILL NOT BE ALLERGY FOR THOSE FOODS THAT COULD CAUSE ACNE INTO YOUR FACE.

Masturbation does NOT cause pimples. Neither does specific foods, usually. Causes of acne are hormonal and possibly psychological, and also a side effect of steroid use (prescription medication, not just bodybuilding-type steroids).

I don't expect to convince anyone here, though, they all seem convinced that they're right.

Yes it is true . But if you wipe your face with a females used panty then they will disappear.

Its all for the money. They want you to go to a Doctor $$$ that's going to send you to a dermatologist $$$ thats going to send you to a drug store for pills $$$.

they sure don't tell you to stop wacking your meat and get a girlfriend. I have sex with my girl friend normally and i stopped jacking off competley. I went on a long trip for work and i ended up jacking my penis. a day later i have a pimple on my head..

i started getting acne when i was 13. I sarted shoooting sperm everywhere when i was 13

Its all for the money.
