Link between masturbation/sex & acne?

I don't know if it's been asked but I've read it on other message boards about masturbation and acne links. It seems many people suggest that masturbation plays a role in acne flares since it plays with your hormones. I do not know if there's a link between masturbation and acne for me since I would get new spots everyday regardless whether I do it or not. But I want know if masturbation is making it worse. I do it 2 or 3 times a week. I can probably reduce that to once every two weeks if it helps. I currently struggly in my initial stage of Wai's Diet so I'm trying to eliminate as many possible agents as I can. What are your opinions? Experiences? I'm 21 year old male btw.

Forgive me if I'm wrong here but I don't think there is a link

There is no link; you can have lots of acne all the time, while you regularly masturbate / have sex, and then be totally free from acne given the right diet, with or without masturbation / sex.

Is there a link between masturbation and longivity? And would they be directly or inversely related?

Since masturbation de-stresses, I would assume that masturbation increases longevity.

masterbation/sex is harmless but when over-done like anything else it can indeed cause acne and a awhole host of other problems

Over-masturbation or excessive sex causes excessive Stress (dopamine-adrenalin convesion) and excessive DHT (testosterone-DHT conversion) that trigger ACNE outbreaking.

Why would lots of sex cause stress?

orgasm is produced by dopamine-epinephrine conversion via the
sympatehtic nervous action.
epinephrine is the main stress hormone.

Can you show me a study to back up this claim?

no but over-ejaculations is extremely damaging to all organs( it burns the acetylcholine,dopamine,serotonin,gaba functions) including skin, the chinese have known about this for thousands of years,

i'm just saying that when this "practice" is used in moderation its very healthy, but when abused or over-practiced there are many damaging side effects, and acne is one of them, although most people suffer from other side effects

Is there anything (anekdotal evidence, whatever) that can show this so called relationship between masturbation and acne?

Do you have a study to back up this claim then?
