Regular use of p**n often causes depression, dopamine imbalance, lethargy, social and emotional dysfunctions, and even erectile dysfunction.© Addiction Actually
We say ′′ use ′′ of p**n, because its very like a harmful drug.
P**n use affects the brain exactly like drugs.
A brief, superficial scientific explanation is that watching p**n creates an excessive amount of dopamine in the brain, that ricochets around the body like a pinball.
This leads to rapid and intense gratification, but then falls, plummeting like a rollercoaster in freefall, leading to a dopamine deficit, a period of depression and lethargy - which leads us to more ....and more and more.
To become a little more esoteric, or**sm can be the most generative, healing, creative, or the most draining and exhausting act.
When you're in contact with a partner, you exchange energy, you bond with each other.
When you're connected to an image on a screen, you send your life force outwards and away from yourself.
It really is s*x with ourselves. Which may be okay - in moderation. But addicts don't or can't moderate. Loss of control is the issue, as with drugs/alcohol.
The question is, where is this energy going?
Who or what feeds on the almost incomprehensible amount of s*xual energy millions of people send to ethers every day?
It only exists because it's fed in abundance... what do you think you're bound to (addiction means to adhere to) to when you ma******te with that p**nstar?
Why do you think this is so hard to stop?
Think of the scene in 'The Matrix' where Neo awakens to see thousands of comatose human beings, becoming food for dark forces.
This is the perfect representation of what we're describing.
Isn't it interesting that p**n is almost the only thing we can consume for free?
Like any good drug dealer, we are lured with a free sample.
Nothing is free - you become another food source for a parasitic entity.
Instead of arguing and discussing mutual origins and moral issues maybe we can start to see that we were all equally played by a much bigger and relatively invisible force from behind the scenes - living off our confusion and conflicts.
P**n itself isn't the enemy, it isn't even harmful. moderation harms fewer
However this page is all about addiction and all addictions are harmful in different ways to self and others.
Think of the time, the opportunity cost of what doesn't get done..the not showing up in relationships.. and the rest..
