I've been abstinent for a year and all of a sudden, I'm breaking out more often than I ever have. I didn't even break out like this in high school. I would get really tiny pimples that you could barely see and even that was rare.
I didn't used to believe that not having sex could cause pimples but now I believe it.
 
its the opposite for me... It's not just the sex.... it's your diet and exercise...For me if I stay "hand" abstinent for about 3 weeks I become pimple free and really confident... It's all about sex, diet, and exercise, also drink a looooot of water
 
It doesn't. What causes acne is a very poor diet or possibly genetics, make-up and clogged pores, sweating, etc. Sex has nothing to do with it and shouldn't.
 
Hormone factors come into play. But i really believe its because of the lack of endorphins, endorphins make you happy= sex creates endorphins. Lack of endorphins can cause stress. Stress can help not only inflame acne already but help make it worse all around.

Try masturbation or even working out, which both release endorphins and that should help.
