Brain Chemicals and Porn Addiction: How Porn Harms Us by Nobody: 1:17am On Jul 09, 2015
Your brain's neuron is on fire!
If you’re wondering what a neuron is and why it’s on fire, here’s what that means. A neuron is a brain cell, and when brain cells get activated at the same time by something you see or hear or smell or whatever, they release chemicals that help strengthen the connection between those neurons. For example, when you eat something delicious, your brain releases dopamine, a chemical that makes you feel good. Or if you hold hands with someone you care about, your brain releases a chemical called oxytocin, which helps you bond with people.

So if every time you went to visit your Uncle Carl he gave you a big hug and then took you out for ice cream, you’d probably start feeling pretty great about Uncle Carl, since your brain would build pathways connecting Uncle Carl with feeling happy and loved. You have these kinds of brain pathways for all sorts of things: riding a bike, eating a sandwich, and walking the dog. And when a person looks at porn, their brain creates new pathways for that, too.

Once addiction sets in, the user has a whole new set of problems, because addiction damages the part of the brain that helps you think things through to make good choices—the brain’s limit setting system. For more than 10 years, studies have shown that drug addictions can cause the brain’s frontal lobes to start shrinking. While “frontal lobe” sounds really technical, basically it’s the part of the brain that controls logical problem solving and decision making. But recent studies have found that it’s not just drugs that cause that kind of damage—the same problems show up with other kinds of addictions, such as overeating, Internet addictions, and sexual compulsion.

And here’s the really scary part: the more porn a person looks at, the more severe the damage to their brain becomes and the more difficult it is to break free. But there’s good news too: neuroplasticity works both ways. That means that the damage to the brain can be undone when someone gets away from unhealthy behaviors

In short, pornography is addictive. I think most people already know that. Your use of the term "brain damage" is misleading. What's the source?

Sir just couples of research I made online from google, but I think not everybody know the side effects and all this but let me change the title and you review it, it is still understandable. From personal experience too I also experienced that my addiction to porn deplicted my brains capacity and as such affected me cus I easily forgot things so I want people to learn from it.

But why don't you just ask mellin or blastfinito or why didn't you just state it in the thread as a question?/ didn't you read the thread? Are you devotes and committed and willingly? U should show interest and I think if u interested u would have asked mellin bfr asking me. I am still struggling as mellin gives little information

All lies.
No harm in watching porn Mr. Op.
Some one looked at something and loves the sight of it and u say it's harmful.? Hell no. Most of the styles I perform today which makes girls gbadu me wella I learnt from porn. Not just performing grannies style of sex...
I watch porn alot for years, I go addicted to masturbation when I was wallowing in religious shit. But when I knew self the porn or masturbation I do perform which I thought was evil in fact it helps one in spiritual life. Before I meditate I do masturbate if my girl is not around to calm self and relax.

Drug ain't good and anyone who is addicted to drug and wants to stop check my other thread, read from 1st page to the last.

I just want to tell you I will make it in this path, you don't have to help me, you don't have to like me, I have made up my mind and enki will see me true. You can hate all you like but it doesn't stop me. You can decide to not be friendly. But won't change a thing. Will never be discourage. I WILL NEVER GIVE UP! sad know that!
Re: Brain Chemicals and Porn Addiction: How Porn Harms Us by Nobody: 9:31pm On Jul 11, 2015

Did you experience cognitive impairment like difficulty reading and studying, forgetfulness and concentration problems. How long did it last.
