masturbation cause pimples?

I have recently found myself i the same dilemma for the past 2 years. I have also experimented upon myself and came to various conclusions.
Acnes is caused by hormones. Yes. By stress. Yes. By pollution. Yes. By constipation. Yes. By Masturbation. Yes.

I have tried numerous products; fash washers, cleansers, lotions, powder etc.
I used to drink 6 glasses of milk a day.
I've also tried 12 glasses of water a day.

I've tried no greasy food, no chocolate.

I've also tried facemasks, herbal and ayurvedic.
I seemed to find a mass reduction after ceasing masturbation. However, once in a while, i'd give in to it and find my face full!

I'm currently trying fasting. Without food or water throughout the day. I consume at night.
I believe, during the day, energy for removal of toxic waste in the body is available by this. During night, digestion of the food produces more energy.

I'll be repeating this a few times and then come to another conclusion.

Oh yeah, i've tried constipation relief powders too. It makes a difference, not much though.

Yap. For me it's true coz I noticed it that a day after I masterbate, pimples are present.wtf. So, to prevent for breakouts, I don't masterbate, luckily I don't have pimples.But God, why in the earth to be like that. That's my hobby.hahaha

Masturbation has goods and bads

Everybody gets pimples on there back every once and a while
its just puberty

just try not 2 masturbate everyday just do it 2-3 times a week and u should see less zits

OH YEAH!!!!
- put toothpaste on ur pimples before you go to bed and they will clear up!!! IM NOT KIDDING

okay i masturbate but i don't think it causes acne. When I sweat I usually notice pimples getting bigger as well as new ones forming almost immediately. Is it masturbation or sweating that causes acne?

it does efect I have tryed stoping masturbate and my face was cleane and fresh but when I start the pimples come back

Yes! Masturbation can cause acne! Especially if you look at porn. By looking at porn..or by "getting in the mood" your body is releasing hormones...these hormone imbalances can cause acne in some. So to answer your question, yes it is very possible. People who have usual moderate to severe acne and or those going thro puberty are more likely to see this happen due to soo many different reasons but then again there are those who can "wack it" eat what ever they like and still never see a pimple.

I also agree, masturbation does cause acne.
I m faced with 2 problems: masturbation addiction and acne, I cant go a 2 weeks without masturbation and my face clearls up if I do.....imagine how itl look after a month or 2.

I just hope those in the medical and pharmaceutical industry can take this seriously.
A dermatoligist posted here, surely so many ppl experiencing the same pattern can not be all imagining or making this up.Coincidence,Idont think s.

I ve had acne for close to 10 years and believe me when I say it clears completely up when I stop masturbation and YES we are all sane people who can differentiate between a clean, acne free skin and a acne prone skin.

Maybe its a specific hormone that gets released during ejaculation or during arousal.

Here are some of the hormonal processes that takes place:
The adrenal glands and sex organs produce androgen hormones which stimulate sexual function in men and are the precursor to the female hormone estrogen. The hypothalamus releases the neurohormone dopamine which results in sexual arousal. When you feel sexually aroused, the brain releases the neurotransmitter acetylcholine into the bloodstream in the sex organs. Then acetylcholine causes the endothelium in the blood vessels and in the spongy penis chambers to produce an enzyme called nitric oxide synthase that helps to produce the gas nitric oxide. This is derived most commonly from the amino acid arginine or, alternatively, from nitrogen compounds in foods. Nitric oxide then triggers the release of yet another enzyme-induced neurotransmitter, cGMP. At the command of cGMP, the blood vessels relax, permitting increased blood inflow to the penis. As the chambers of the penis engorge, the sudden surge of blood into those chambers exerts pressure on the veins. Now inflow is greater than outflow, and the penis remains erect so long as there is a continuous production of cGMP mediated by nitric oxide. A very similar sequence is involved in lubrication and vaginal and clitoral engorgement in women. As sexual activity intensifies, the neurotransmitter GABA is released, increasing dopamine levels and ultimately igniting a euphoric feeling and increasing sensations during orgasm.

Maybe a petition must be started to save all the ppl in the future from going thru such a painfull experience.

I hadn't experienced this issue firsthand so I don't pretend to understand it but it makes sense to me that the hormone spike could cause a breakout. But with proper skin care, that could be circumvented. What is your skincare routine?

It does! I've tried it myself, I went 1 month on and off for the past year.. and it worked! masturbating is my cause for acne. I've noticed that cleaning your face helps but not nearly as much as going without masturbating. I came to the conclusion that this is a genetic problem and not anything else, I know people who literally masturbate just as much as I do and they have clear skin. It is something that you have to live with.

im 16.... i used to get mad at all my acne, a friend told me to stop masturbating for a while and it works my acne went away. i hope it helps

i think everyone's body is different, and everyones body reacts differently to stimuli, hormone fluxuation, blah blah blah. so i think that masturbation can cause acne for some people, including me. but one thing the dermatologist said that's true is that everyone with acne is still beautiful. once you stop letting acne define you, people will stop letting it define you too. instead of worrying about how acne will affect your sex life, just surround your self with your friends, forget about it, (and i'm not saying don't attempt treatment, just don't let it control your thinking), and once you learn to love yourself no matter what, so will other people.

I'm 14 and can't catch a break. My pimples go away ..i'm haPPy and then another comes in somewhere else the next day. I notice that taking vitamins daily helps, any suddestions for me?

Honestly im going to agree with you guys and girls. Im physically fit and have read this article on September 23 of this year. So ,like many of you, i tried to test the theory. I went home watched porn, jacked off, and washed my junk (of course). Before i went to bed, i counted 10 pimples i also checked the sizes to prove if masturbating does double the pimple size. The next day i counted an extra 7 pimples that weren't there before and one doubled its size. Its been almost two weeks and my acne hasn't cleared up. Infact by not masturbating (correct me if I'm wrong) i may have built up my hormones causing more acne. In the next two weeks I'm going to report if my acne cleared up or somehow got worse. I do go to a dermatologist and have been given a higher does of medication recently. I also bought Vitamin E because of a rumor i heard that both E and A promote better skin. (don't have Vitamin A and have only recently taken Vitamin E three days ago)

I think it's important to realize that this doesn't happen to everyone but it sounds like it could be the case with you. Let us know what your dermatologist thinks.

I had started to masturbate at the age of 14. I am 18 now. Hey can't help it, many of us have urges and needs. So anyways I have been masturbating for almost 5 years now. I decided to test my self to see if the quitting masturbation will release the amount of acne on my face. For the past 2 days I quit and my face had cleared up somewhat, but also at the same time I had also begin to clean my face more often. I had just now masturbated to only to see how my face will look tomorrow. Now I only get acne on my face, I don't get it on my back or chest and my acne is not that bad, I just don't find it too likable.

Here is my whole thought on the theory. When one masturbates the hormones that are release can also trigger more oils to be produced in SOME peoples skin. That is the only reason why I can think why many of us get acne the next mourning. Now here is the other thing many of us failed to look at. We all seem to get new zits or bigger zits the next day? Why is that?

Well many of us I highly doubt wash our face every night. And if we do and if some of us have acne we should use some sort of acne or anti-bacterial wash. Another thing, we are laying our head on a pillow. A pillow can track in so much dirt and oils. So when we lay on that dirty pillow all night no wonder why we would have zits, because we have all this bacteria laying upon our face. We all should change the pillow cases every 2 days.

A lot of people say, "Well you need to drink more water and eat more healthier". This is bull. I have been dieting for almost a year now. I don't have soda's, I don't have juice, and I don't have sweets. I eat raw foods. Plus to add to that, I drink almost a gallon of water a day. But yet I still get zits or zits that never leave.

Now exercising does help to flush those oils out in your face.

But I will get back to you all tomorrow and let you all know how my face looks tomorrow mourning.
