Masturbation: Acne and facial oil can be caused by nurmerous factors. This can include increased testosterone production, DHEA production, poor diet, poor GI function, or infections. Masturbation, itself, however, will not cause acne, as it will not cause increases in hormone levels for that long or to that effect.

Cultural myths: Masturbation is a normal part of human exiatance.Some cultures frown on the process ; most seldom discuss it openly. Many cultures have perpetuated a series of myths to enforce their taboo. It has no effect on acne, vision,fertility or any other such issue.
