I think i have found some evidence supporting this theory. according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semen#Composi..._of_human_semen a typical ejaculation has as much as 5mg of zinc.

I found on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc
that zinc defiency can lead to skin lesions and that the average teenage boy needs 11mg per day.
So if your masturbating three times a day wouldn't you be depleting your body of zinc and as a result suffer some of the effects of deficency?

Im probably wrong, but whatever.

I just cant see how MAsrtubating causes/Affects Acne....

[Rush006007]

Okay... sorry to discuss this in such great detail ladies.

Guys, your body will naturally seek a release every 72 hours (give or take). Some people do get "addicted" and have to release every day, or even more. Your body will, eventually, release naturally, whether through nocturnal emmissions, or by releasing small amounts in urine. However, while I want to be comfortable saying that masturbation causes acne, I wouldn't point the finger so quickly. VERY active married couples I know have no skin issues. It doesn't seem to be, in and of itself, the ejaculation. Perhaps there is something more to masturbation that we do not understand.

Having said that though, Zinc is vital to having healthy skin. Make sure you are getting enough.

A theory... and this is just a theory, but if your hormones are always on the red line, and you are checking out every girl in sight, feeding lust constantly in your mind, wouldn't/couldn't that have some effect on your skin? I know that acne is very often hormonal. I am not saying this is a cause for everyone, but it could be ONE of the causes.

Thoughts?

[ChaOS]

vitamin A and niacin are also said to be vital..

[Rush006007]

Agreed. Your body needs the proper nutrients to have good skin. Some people's bodies react differently, so not everyone needs Zinc. Some may need Vitamin A, or someone else may need Sulfur.

What is with this disease? It seems like there are a thousand different causes.

masturbation is different for different people, some may break, some may not, i tryed not going for 2 weeks! and i was clearing up and then i did it once like yesterday or so, and ive been fine, its like if i do it every day, i break out, but once in a while, im in the clear, and when im done doing "it", i go and do something like running or something that uses energy because i heard that bla blah blah something something something after your done turned it into DHT

Shit! some days I would do it 4 times so thats 20 mg of Zinc. Well I took 25 mg of Zinc a day as a supplement but I still break out after I masturbated

What is this, the 50s.

Acne has nothing to do with sexual functions. In fact, masturbation/safe sex relieves stress.

[GregoryThor]

Im specifically talking about zinc.

Heres my logical argument.

Zinc deficiency causes acne. Masturbation causes zinc deficiency

Address that please. I was not attempting to debate anything else.

These are not connected. This was proved years ago....

never proved, thats a myth

[heymikey]

Well, if what you say is right, try swallowing your cum after you jerk off. That way, the amount of zinc that goes out of your body, goes back in. Or, you could just buy a zinc supplement.

Different Strokes for Different Folks...

Well my friend who is 17 masturbate everyday since he was 14. He never have a single pimple or even hairloss. He have a head full of hair and smooth skin.
While for me if i do it everyday for a week i get a bunch of pimples. =\

^ If THAT doesn't prove that they ARE NOT CONNECTED, nothing will!

[aside]

Is it possible for your body to come resistant to supplments your taking?

Because I used to take zinc, I came so close to being clear, then I got lazy n stopped taking it, it started to come back so i started taking zinc again and it hasn't work as well since

[CookieCutter]

[Femina Mala Est]

Excessive masturbation isn't going to lead to a zinc deficiency anywhere but in your semen. Your body does not divert zinc from your skin cells to your testicles when you've been overactive.

Believe me, if masturbation led to nutritional deficiencies of any kind, I would have died from malnutrition growing up. If you're really that bothered about what you're losing, though, do as the gentleman above suggested and eat whatever you ejaculate. Or maybe you could just rub it into the parts of your face affected by acne.
