Here is an interesting video about porn addiction. I showed it to a friend in another state who is addicted to watching porn videos online. So I'm sharing it here as well since I think it's interesting.
The video clip is about 16 minutes long so I'll give you a briefing:
- It explains that porn addiction leads to Erectile Dysfunction (ED), especially noticed in young men with high speed internet. And viagra can't fix it. It takes young men 4-5 months of no porn to fix the ED.
- It physically alters the brain. As dopamine increases, the chemical Delta Fos-B accumulates which creates more cravings. And also leads to structural brain changes...which lead to numbed pleasure response, hyper-reactivity to porn, and willpower erosion. (all addictions can do this but especially porn addiction)
- It can lead to problems with women in real life. (unrealistic expectations, can't relate, etc.)
- Also the symptoms of porn addiction can mimic performance anxiety, depression, social anxiety and more. Eliminating porn can remove these symptoms and also increase a male's productivity in life.
How to quit?
-there are noFap (no porn) support groups online.
-find software. There is windows software called Self Vault that can block specific websites or other online distractions.
-or try it on your own, or with the help of a partner. (a male chastity device can help)
I love TED Talks! It is like porn for the brain. I ran across them on Netflix about a year ago and have run through most of the ones they have on the site. I recently started to watch them on TED website. This one I have not seen. Thanks!
