How Watching Porn Affects Your Brain. by Nobody: 2:50pm On Aug 23, 2015
Watching a lot of porn can affect your brain, scientists
reckon. Porn can also bring out the same characteristics
found in drug addicts – but sadly enthusiasts often get
diminished pleasure from each ‘fix’. The study also found that watching lots of p0-rn could lead to less activity in the left putamen, which usually responds to sexual stimuli. It’s apparently similar to the results found in cocaine addicts – although the research doesn’t conclude whether porn causes the brain changes, or if people with certain brain types just watch more porn.

Research by Cambridge University last year found porn
enthusiasts responded to erotic images the same way
alcoholics respond to seeing pictures of drinks. It’s due to
the way the ventral striatum responds to stimulus, but in
younger people could increase impulsiveness and risk-
taking. So there you have it. Like all good things, it’s best not
to overdo it, so to speak.

Beautiful thread..
Many of our youths today have packed up their phone medias with porn videos and pictures thinking that it makes them cool and updated.
We are looking for a way forward in youths initiatives and empowerment and solidarity. With mindsets like porn addicted brain functions, how do we achieve that.
It is MOSTLY common among age 16-24 though we have lots of them in adult age bracket.

Don't get the """age""' thing twisted because some are still immature even at that age.

Are you saying that rich and innovative people don't watch porn??

The last decade has seen a steady increase in technological advancements but also a steady increase in porn viewership. This really negates your argument.

why have u decided to make this harder than it is already? Did you see any word that has anything to do with SOCIAL status on my comment? Davido and WizKid, are they not under the same age bracket? Are they exempted from that HABIT? Why are you adding more hypothesis to this topic? What are you even talking about? Pls read the op's thread again. Tnx

You are stating how do we achieve that. I tried to explain that we have already achieved that even with the porn mindset. What is your argument? How are porn addiction and youth initiatives/empowerment related? Will removing porn from the internet make the government improve youth initiative and empowerment programs.

Secondly, How many places have you seen promoting porn?. Porn is a very private issue and its also publicly condemned. You and the OP are flogging a dead horse.

This is another hypocritical article on Nairaland creating a problem where there isn't one.
Any one with an addiction should see a doctor?
