I’m prone to acne, including on my face, back, and buttocks… What do male supporters think about that? The other day, someone said eczema wouldn’t be a problem, but do you think there are men who would also consider acne acceptable?

I’m Fullerene, a male member! Atopic skin and acne don’t bother me at all. I just think, “That’s simply the kind of skin she has.” Of course, I like clear skin too, but acne can also have its own kind of freshness. I suppose most people see it as a negative, though.

Maezawa from the CEO’s office here. Thanks for your question. I always thought acne referred to breakouts on the forehead, cheeks, around the mouth, and along the jawline. So I’m not sure spots on the back or buttocks would really be considered acne. That said, I feel like someone who’s okay with atopic dermatitis would probably also be able to accept acne. I associate acne more with the teenage years, though, so are you a teenager as well?

I’m Kazu, a male member. It depends on how many there are, but I’m prone to breakouts myself—especially since I started wearing masks more often—so I don’t really mind a few. Writing this answer reminded me of a woman I once pursued. The first time I undressed her, I noticed she had some breakouts on her butt, and I remember feeling slightly turned off. I didn’t lose my erection, though, and I went on to have sex with her and continue seeing her. Recently, while doing papa-katsu (compensated dating in Japan), the things that have made me feel slightly turned off include the color or shape of someone’s nipples and visible pores. We’re all human: we get breakouts, scratch our skin, have visible pores, and may not have perfectly shaped nipples or areolas. The labia may also be asymmetrical or darker in color. Worrying about things like that is just exhausting, so let’s stop doing it.
