How Porn Hijacks The Brain by Itohanmiwa: 2:04pm On Dec 10, 2021 |
When having sex or watching porn, dopamine is released into a region of the brain responsible for emotion and learning, giving the viewer a sense of sharp focus and a sense of craving: “I have got to have this thing; this is what I need right now.” It supplies a great sense of pleasure. The next time the viewer gets the “itch” for more sexual pleasure, small packets of dopamine are released in the brain telling the user: “Remember where you got your fix last time. Go there to get it.” This system works the way it is supposed to work when you’re having sex with your spouse. Together you can experience a high, an alertness of sexual pleasure, and the deep calm afterwards. With each sexual embrace you are emotionally bonding to this person and the brain releases "oxytocin" and "vasopressin". Over time a craving for sex is transformed into a desire for one another (dopamine). But porn short-circuits the system. Multiple problems happen when porn is used. First, instead of forming a deep connection to a person, your brain ends up “bonding” to a pornographic experience. Your brain remembers where the sexual high was experienced, and each time you desire sexual stimulation, you feel a sharp sense of focus: I’ve got to go back to the porn. In addition, pornography gives the brain an unnatural high. In a recent TEDx talk, physiology teacher Gary Wilson explained that when men look at porn, they experience surge after surge of dopamine in the brain. The brain eventually fatigues, stopping the production of dopamine, leaving the viewer wanting more but unable to reach a level of satisfaction. As a result, everyday pleasures stop causing excitement and the viewer seeks out more novel, more intense pornography to get the same high as before. This imbalance in the brain leads to many problems: impotence with your spouse, frequent masturbation with very little satisfaction, anxiety, fatigue, lack of motivation, inability to concentrate, and escalating tastes for more bizarre or novel porn. Paul wrote that the sexually immoral person sins “against his own body” (1 Cor. 6:18). This is one of the great negative motivators for fleeing from porn: we avoid porn knowing the damage it can do to us. Source:covenanteyes.com 13 Likes 1 Share |

That ted talk has made Gary Wilson a legend, even after his death it has open many other people eyes to the danger of porn. As said in the book the way of the superior man, "Ejaculation should be consciously chosen or converted". 1 Like |

P0rn doesn't do much damage to females as it does to males. For females, they start struggling with body image issues. For males, they turn to imb£ciles. |
