In this topic, it was explained that on the 7th day of abstaining from masturbation there is a testosterone spike in males of up to 147%:
Many acne sufferers here confirmed that they always had breakouts sometime around the 7th day of abstaining. But I have a more in depth question for you guys:
What if you were to abstain for a long period of time, lets say a month and then suddenly for two weeks straight, you decided to masturbate once a day. When, then, would you start to experience breakouts? Would it be immediately as in the next day? Or would it occur the 7th day after you started to masturbate again? My main question is when does normal masturbation affect your skin if you aren't abstaining.
Another hypothetical situation: you masturbate 4 times a day everyday and always have experienced bad breakouts, but suddenly you decide to start masturbating only once every 3 days. So this is a much more manageable amount and I would think would probably induce an improvement in acne right? Well if it would, when would you start to experience a slight recovery?
If I personally abstain from masturbation, my skin does improve, but the exact timeline of events (breakouts,testosterone spikes) is unclear to me because of so many other factors (diet, alcohol, soy, supplements, topicals). It would be great to here how other people are affected by their masturbation habits. Thanks....

idk. the longest i have not wacked for was a week. i can not go any longer. it is true. i always get clear skin for days 3-5. and then on the 6th and seventh day my skin is worse than ever and super oily and break out badly! then when i do masturbate the oiliness completely goes away but i am left with the bad acne. whenever i masturbate more than 3 times in one day i noticed i have super bad acne. i am so pissed about this. i do not want masturbation to be a trigger for acne. i definately do not think it causes acne but it seems for us like it makes it worse. it makes me so mad how effective it is for me to abstain. i mean masturbation is a great thing to do. i hate not doing it. anyway i have started abstaining after not seeing anymore headway from my new diet and unorthodox measures to get rid of acne. so i am going back this masturbation thing which gets so hard to follow. i am in school and there are so many hot girls and we all know about the hot girls on the internet. nearly impossible to do this and i do not know if it is worth it. i hate this so much. i want to go back to my dermatologist and get something. i will try doing it only every 3 days. so ill abstian for two and then do it. but i think i will not follow it anyway. it is so hard and masturbation is such a great way to releive stress. and when a man feels like he has to bust one, the feeling is almost impossible to ignore. life wants us to reproduce. i just wonder if we are masturbating in today's society at "abnormal" rates due to access to porn and how slutty some girls dress. then again women in the cave men era did not even wear clothes. maybe i am wrong. maybe they did. i don't know. maybe they did not really have a reason to masturbate. maybe the stress of our society has caused us to masturbate too much combined with easy access to porn. idk this sounds crazy but its the only thing that has worked for me. not even my diet is helping me anymore. so frustrating.
