hey guys, when i have sex on a regular basis i get quite bad acne, and then when i go for like a week or whatever it clears up to a degree...what the %$#@ is wrong with me?? i have mild acne but this makes it much worse. is there anything i can do to stop this, as i find it very depressing...

I've read that slow sensual sex actually clears up acne.

It mgiht jsut be your hormone levels rising becuase of your sexual activity. Also pheromones can screw up your body, just tkaing a guess on it though.

Anything that boosts testosterone levels can lead to acne. Just use some acne medicine, or avoid sex.

I don't think its right to stop having sex. that is not a solution...if that is a solution, i can safely say, without a doubt, and feel free to quote me on this...THERE IS NO GOD. what the hell sort of punishment is that? I am currently on antibiotics for acne but it seems that these don't have any affect on a rise in testosterone due to sex. Surely there is someone out there who has an idea? a possible solution, which doesn't involve me taking up celebecy...thanks
