Maybe: Stop consuming fried foods and sugars, this can significantly improve your skin by reducing inflammation. It is possible excessive sexual stimulation can raise your test levels and make acne worse.

Reality check: Even if you could stop entertaining yourself, it won't significantly help your acne. You can act like a man and at the same time have the complexion you want. This is the 21st century. "bad severe acne" will usually respond to a systemic antibiotic that any physician can write for, plus a topical retinoic acid and/or benzoyl peroxide. Dermatologists have bigger guns. You can be a man.

See a dermatologist: Acne is not related to food. You can be helped with prescription creams and pills. The choice of treatments depends on the type of acne, your response & tolerance to particular treatments, and the dr's experience with one med or another. Masturbation has no effect on hormones or acne. It won't make you blind, either.

Cleveland Clinic: "Masturbation is a normal, healthy part of your sexual development. It involves the use of your hands, fingers, sex toys or other objects to stimulate your genitals and other sensitive areas of your body for sexual pleasure. Masturbation has many documented health benefits. It may reduce stress, improve sleep and ease pain, among other benefits." See a Dr. for acne treatment.
