Your tears contain the enzyme lysozyme which can kill gram-positive bacteria by disrupting their cell-walls. It does this by digesting the peptidoglycan found in them.

Secretions from sebacious and sweat glands on your skin don't necessarily kill bacteria but they do give the skin a PH of around 3-5. This acidity helps prevent colonisation by pathogens on the skin.

No, don't be stupid. You should masturbate, the fluid that is secreated by your genitalia dose in fact kill germs, not sweat or years.
