Yes.
Prolactin is released following masturbation and sex. Anecdotally, masturbation and sex have been linked to Acne.
I believe it is this hormone (also responsible for milk production) and not Testerone that causes Acne.

What are the functions of prolactin hormones?
In females, prolactin tell the breasts to start producing milk (but it is another hormone, oxytocin, that actually causes the milk to be excreted). In both sexes, prolactin also inhibits LH and FSH release, which inhibit estrogen/progesterone secretion and ovulation in females, and testosterone secretion and sperm production in males. Overproduction of prolactin (like from a tumor or a dopamine antagonist) can cause infertility and decreased sex drive in both sexes.

What is hyperprolactinemia?
"Hyperprolactinemia is a condition of elevated serum prolactin. Prolactin is a 198 amino acid protein (23-kD) produced in."Quoted from: -www.emedicine.com/med/topic1098.htm Hyperprolactinaemia or hyperprolactinemia is the presence of abnormally high levels of prolactin in the blood. Normal levels are less than 580 mIU/L for women, and less than 450 mIU/L for men. The hormone prolactin is downregulated by dopamine and is upregulated by estrogen. A falsely high measurement may occur due to the presence of the biologically inactive macroprolactin in the serum. This can show up as high prolactin in some types of tests, but is asymptomatic. Prolactinoma or other tumors arising in or near the pituitary-such as those that cause acromegaly or Cushing's syndrome-may block the flow of dopamine from the brain to the prolactin-secreting cells, likewise division of the pituitary stalk or hypothalamic disease. Other causes include chronic renal failure, hypothyroidism and sarcoidosis. Some women with polycystic ovary syndrome may have mildly elevated prolactin levels. Apart from diagnosing hyperprolactinaemia and hypopituitarism, prolactin levels are often determined by physicians in patients who have suffered a seizure, when there is doubt whether this was an epileptic seizure or a non-epileptic seizure. Shortly after epileptic seizures, prolactin levels often rise, while they are normal in non-epileptic seizures.
