Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Are you struggling with porn addiction? Does this have an impact on your brain? There are many reasons to stop watching pornography, but the fact that it can permanently destroy your brain can be the most harrowing reason of all. While this is a subject that many find uncomfortable discussing openly, it's important to have a balanced understanding of its potential consequences. So, let's find out what might happen when you watch porn daily. #brain #addiction #psychology Writer & YouTube Manager: Michelle Rivas Voice Over: Brandon Animator: Alycia Lo Link to Resources: References Berger, Jonathan H, et al.

EUPHORIA, 27 July 2022, Honestly it's scary how accessible porn is. Between having a relationship and just masturbating to porn, the later is just always at your fingertips. Quite literaly, with how easily you can access porn sites just through your phone. And yes, I believe it has a lot to do with young males staying lonely more often. I know I did, even though another excuse of mine was always being introverted and too busy with studies, work, and when I eventually get close to someone, it turns into a long distance relationship I cannot stand.

I enjoy porn, and I think i might even be an addict. But with that said, im a functioning addict due to the fact that any porn featuring real people does nothing for me. Images, videos, streamers and things like chaturbate turn me off. I am however a borderline addict of fictional porn, such as hentai, video game characters, smutty fanfiction, etc. What makes me a functioning addict is that the fact that there is always a clear line between fiction and reality. Things I enjoy in fiction won't and can't cross into reality, and the fetishes I get from porn are literally impossible to re-create in reality. Hence, porn does not effect my daily life in anyway despite my enjoyment of it. It also helps that my partner also enjoys similar fictitious and impossible fetishes. All you really need is a clearly defined line between reality and non-reality, which many people I know unfortunately are unable to have.

I m glad there are videos of what happens when you watch it, and ways to solve your addiction. I was exposed to porn at a very young age, because my parents let me and my siblings play video games on an old computer. I was around 6-7 years old when I somehow found it, and 8 years later, I m still addicted to it. I would watch it all time, 24/7, even in broad daylight with my parents walking around inside the house. I never wanted to talk about it with my parents, as they had caught my a few times watching it, and I felt they would be angry and disappointed in me. They would try many times to prevent me from watching porn, only for me to find new ways. I screwed up my childhood, but I m not going to screw up my future. It s hard to stop, but if you can, I can too. Good luck to others, and I hope no else has such a horrible past as me.

I've never spoken to a professional but I have it on good authority that I (probably) have a porn addiction.
Going cold turk is difficult but as I increase the time between uses it's actually quite unnoticeable. So far, I'm up to about 2 weeks in between sessions The hardest part by far is trying to sufficiently replace my habits with something that feels productive so I try lots of things: guitar, writing, music prod, drawing. It's going pretty well so wish me luck and best of luck to anyone else trying to be better

Wishing everyone that they recover from this and can begin a happier life.
But I also want to emphasize something that surprisingly few people are adressing here. Which is the emotional strain you often put on a partner with this thing. Unless your partner is truly comfortable with this, and helping you get through it, don't get a girlfriend/partner.
This thing can absolutely break someone that loves you. Please deal with this before pulling someone into heartache. Nobody deserves that.

My previous bf was a porn addict. He was attracted to me, but envisioned me like I was one of his fetish content and was honestly disappointed when he discovered I was nothing like pornhub or hentai. He seemed attracted to me and engaged me in physical contact, but I wasn't satisfied and he required so much additional stimulus from me for him to finish. I hope he gets the help he needs, but he isn't doing himself justice with women.

It's been 4 and half years since I have been watching porn and masturbating, it made my life hell, the day i started doing it too much i started digging a hole for myself, now it's been 1 month i am trying to climb up to the ground again
i started this thing when i was 15 now i am going to be 20 and i will never ever do this again
and i will be careful about addictive things in the future,
i will take this as a lesson

16 year old here, I was first exposed to porn at nine years old when scrolling mindlessly on my iPad (yes I was a gen z iPad kid, but not as bad as the current ones) and it kicked off an addiction that has lasted until recently but now I am resolved to fix it. Porn really does destroy important brain chemistry and is especially dangerous for neurodivergent people like me. Note to self NEVER let your kids have iPads.

I used to be an addict, and while I'm still working on the MO part of PMO, I think I can safely say that I'm free for the P part. I've seen on myself some of the effects mentioned in this video, the remaining ones being impossible because I'm still a virgin. It was when I felt helpless in the face of my own desires (actually my addicted brain) that I sought therapy and started my recovery program.

Don't peddle pseudoscience, corn addiction is not a diagnosed disorder in the dsm 5 manual. Compulsive corn use is not addiction. The brain scan shown at the beginning of the video has been debunked. There are multiple credible research papers attesting to the fact the corn addiction is not real. The science that says otherwise is pseudoscience. Don't fall for this it's highly misleading.
reply

I am nothing near an addict, but this made me decide to cut porn out of my life for good. If it's doing nothing good for my relationship with a partner, then what is the point for me? I want relational experiences personally. This is not passing judgement on others by the way, this is me saying that it simply does not serve MY purposes nor help MY goals

Porn addiction really splatters your brain
literally
Discovered and watched porn since grade 5 and was able to quit only fe months ago [ grade 9 ]
4 years of my life has been wasted and I regret a lot
To anyone who are actively fighting or has managed to quit this addiction entirely
just so you know you're a legend and ily

I used to read a lot of books & fanfictions that had smut in them (sometimes I still do tbh) and sometimes I watch porn when i m bored but it doesn t happen very often and I turn it off after maybe 5 minutes. Do you think this would have a bad effect on me? Because i m slightly worried now. : ) and if so, can I still turn it around?
reply

I spend about 30 minutes a week listening to praise kink audio porn. I really like it as a release. My gf has to live 2 hours away for work right now and we only see each other every other month. She looks at porn herself and I think it keeps us from cheating. I think porn is positive. But that is just my life experience.

4: 40 What if it's the opposite? ADHD people have decreased activity in the frontal lobe from birth and they are very prone to p n addiction alongside any other addiction.
I wonder if that study takes into consideration the process of reduced activity of the frontal lobe or It's just an observed correlation

reply

I hear and agree with everything this video provided but what I didn't see was the comparison between Males and Female's sides of the matters. It appeared to be more Male focused even though Females can have the same implications for themselves or in the partnership/relationship areas.

I ve been an addict since i was 15, im 29 now, and i m trying to stop it, but it s very hard, i feel like i wasted my younger years because of it and thanks to it i don t have many friends and relationships, i never dated anyone either because of it and that hurts me the most.
reply

17 past 5 in the morning, just decided I'm gonna quit. I've cut off everything so far and I've decided I need to stop. 8 months ago I became addicted. I'm not doing this shit anymore. I hate it and if I let it get worse then I won't get out. Wish me luck, people.
reply

Porn is truly devastating. its really a epidemic and am glad more people are talking about this. You are not ment to release on a regular basis. And its backed up by science. if destroying your brain isn't scary enough you are also destroying your body to.
