I think what happens when you masturbate is when that happens your testosterone level raises causeing oils and bacteria to build up hormonially in your face and back and the only way to release this massive incline of testostorone is from pores in your skin causeing a breakout I did a test on this I found I had far less acne and redness when I stopped masturbating for 2 weeks and when masturbating 1 time everyday for a weak my acne increased by a far more noticible standpoint so anyway I guess I have to stop masturbating for a little while until my acne goes down. also if you don't know what testostorone is its really big in males and it causes facial hair acne and stuff boys have to experiance to reach manhood so am guessing this same study does not relate to girls but it may since am not a girl and cannot test it.

How scientific was the study?
If relating the surge of testosterone in masturbation to acne production, then how would those adolescents and adults having sexual intercourse on routine bases look? I am sure the multiple orgasms will flood their skins with acne heads.
Acne production is part of development of secondary sexual characteristics males and females go through.
True, acne has hormonal background, but physiologically nothing to do with masturbation. The production of the androgenic hormones, (those involved with development of acne) I believe, varies from male to male, same for females, hence some people have more than others.
Bottom line, genetics, environment, apoptosis, etc., bring out differences in the species.

Mmmm, maybe your acne improved because you were actually taking the time to wash your face before bed, instead of racing to your room to knock one off.
I don't buy your hypothesis, I would guess something else was going on. Acne is caused by bacteria and hormones, not testosterone, maybe you were rubbing your face with your dirty hands afterwards?
Try it again for a longer time period, like a month, but make sure you do a true test by using the same products to wash your face, washing every night before bed etc.

Technically your sutdy is correct and incorrect. It is not testosterone that causes the acne, but the DHT that is converted from testosterone that does. Basically, it is not masturbation that causes that conversion, but the actual ejaculation. Also, since everyone ejaculates does not mean that they will get acne, it all depends on how your body reacts to the DHT. Some people are sensitive to it and some are not, that is why we are all different. The same goes for hair loss.

You have a skewed view of the body.
Both males and females have eostrogen and testosterone, as well as a lot of other hormones. Transsexual women take more female hormones to feminise themselves, transsexual men take more masculine hormones to give themselves facial hair and the like. They already have some, they just need some more.
Studies can prove anything you want them to. If you find not cracking one off every five minutes helps, then do it.
Maybe its just because you sweat more and the pores clog? Pimples are blocked pores that become infected. If you have an outbreak, regardless of how much you jerk off, then wash more!

I believe in live experience about the topic. But according to "Health Center" survey report, masturbate release the tense and increase the sexual desire. If your study says this then I must tell u one thing, try once again, if u r result is up to the mark then we must thankful to you for the great study.
Keep trying for the different topics also.

Are you asking or telling? The opening line is a statement with a question mark at the end.
What publication did this research come out in? Is is a peer reviewed journal?

If you say that frequent masturbation causes acne, what about frequent sexual intercourse. I think you should also research this and on a larger male population set to conclude. You study is inconclusive.

Another study found that rubbing the end product of this act into your skin will cure acne.

Does that mean if you have sex often you'll be more prone to have acne since masturbation and sex end the same way?
I don't believe it, no offense.
