Dear DD,
Having or not having sex does not affect the pimples or acne. It is certainly not a cure.
Acne becomes a problem at the time of puberty in the teenage or early youth period. This is because our hormones (chemicals in the body) change at that time, and it is these hormones that cause the glands to be more active and bring the pimples or acne. This lasts about two to three years and then goes down. That is when the acne is most severe.
It is a myth (false story) that having (or not having) sex affects acne.
