There was a study that looked at abstinence and testosterone levels in men. It basically found that testosterone nearly doubled over the course of a week before returning to baseline. But the real culprit for acne is DHT, which is made from testosterone, and masturbation does cause DHT spikes. In most people this isn’t an issue as it’s a short lived spike, but if you’re an addict or already hormonal imbalanced then it could feasibly cause problems. Unfortunately there is very little quality research on the subject.
The only thing that helps my acne is not masturbating. I know it sounds crazy. I was incredibly skeptical but I tried it out of pure desperation. In the 6+ years I’ve been dealing with adult acne it’s the only thing that consistently helps. After around day 10 I don’t get any new blemishes, and then if I can go longer my skin just gets clearer.
I’ve got high testosterone so it’s probably related to that somehow. So if you’re a guy and have hormonal acne it’s worth a try. I wish I had done it sooner but all the nofap crazies made me dismiss it.
I agree. I think the technology behind mRNA vaccines is exciting but given that this is an entirely new category of vaccine I want longer safety testing. Hopefully the Johnson & Johnson vaccine comes out soon. It’s based on a non-replicating adenovirus.
Yeah because he knows if any competitors get to market first their vaccine is toast. Their vaccine has to be stored at -70 C, making it a distribution nightmare. The Moderna vaccine, which uses the same tech, only has to be kept at -20 C. Meanwhile the Johnson & Johnson adenovirus vaccine has no special storage requirements, as far as I can tell at least. This announcement was sketchy af.
