"I count him braver who overcomes his desires than who conquers his enemies; for the hardest victory is over self" - Aristotle
What is the most fucked up drug ever to be peddled to all of mankind?
What is the one drug that is freely accessed, at almost any time, any where, by anyone?
How is it ravaging the male population, and what extreme symptoms are males experiencing from this drug?
What are the intense side-effects of getting off this drug?
All these questions are answered by the founder of YourBrainOnPorn, the most comprehensive source on porn addiction in the world!
Let's describe what porn can do:
It hijacks the same reward mechanisms associated with financial gains, social status, and even charitable giving. Instead of using that drive to achieve, you resort to the solitary activity of masturbation.
The addiction occurs when your brain loses it's natural reward mechanisms (from achievement, bonding, exercise, giving) and hands it over - unwillingly - to artificial stimuli such as alcohol, drugs, gaming, and high-speed internet porn.
Instead, your brain thinks the DRUG is what is needed for survival.
The inability to control yourself, and interference with your life are signs of addiction.
You are more likely to over-eat a buffet, than at a regular meal. The buffet is also more likely to leave you regretful. High-speed internet porn is like a buffet, it leaves you completely regretful afterwards.
"Frequency of porn viewing correlates with depression, anxiety, stress and social malfunctioning, as well as less sexual and relationship satisfaction and altered sexual tastes, poorer quality of life and health, and real-life intimacy problems."
When animals were jacked up on amphetamines (same effects as porn), they no longer sought monogamous relationships.
Reproduction is the number 1 priority to your genetic code (reproduce or die), and what better way than to reproduce with images on the screen?
Ultimately, high hours of watching porn reduces the grey-matter in your brain associated with 'rewards, motivation, and decision-making'. You turn into a slug.
Here is what happens (simplified) when you get addicted to anything (alcohol, drugs, games, internet, porn, gambling):
1. Desensitization - a numbed response to pleasure
2. Sensitization - unconscious memory of pleasure that triggers cravings (being alone in a room, turning on the computer, a pop-up, an advertisement)
3. Hypofrontality - reduced brain activity in the prefrontal areas, weakening willpower while being bombarded with strong triggers that result in cravings
4. Dysfunctonal stress - minor stress can lead to cravings and relapse, because they trigger your sensitized pathways
So what happens when you try to escape?
"Ex-porn users regularly report withdrawal symptoms that are reminiscent of drug withdrawals: insomnia, anxiety, irritability, mood swings, headaches, restlessness, fatigue, poor concentration, depression, social paralysis and cravings."
"An increased use of internet porn decreased boys' academic performance six months later"
You can't expect your life to change if you engage in the same patterns that trigger the addiction.
Empty 'feel-good' highs come from 'frequent intense videogaming, junk food, gambling, trolling Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, Yahoo, and meaningless TV and Youtube.'
In a world of hyper-stimulating content, which produces 'SUPER-NORMAL' states of arousal, you can stay in this state for HOURS.
As you over-consume at the buffet of arousal, your brain gets desensitized, and you seek novelty, shock, retarded content, porn, and so forth.
In conclusion, getting addicted to high-speed porn will fuck you up and turn you into a useless slug - so get off that shit, now!
