How Watching pornography affects your brain



The human brain is the most powerful single item in creation (or evolution) that has the highest processing power at which it produces results. It has capabilities the smartest of all devices can only dream of. It can process millions of data within a short period of time. It has been proven from researches that humans end up using only 4% of their brain in their entire lifespan with the 96% lying dormant.

As powerful as the human brain is, there are little things that temper with It's functions. Things such as stress, depression and addictions are the brain's worst nightmare. The brain is like a big balloon and addiction is a tiny needle. One of the leading addictions in the world after drugs is Pornography.

Porn addiction has been a major challenge and concern ever since the internet became available and accessible to everyone. The porn business is growing daily with loads and lots of stars arising from it. Tonnes of clips are produced per minute. These porn videos and pictures find their way into the market and most often times end up in the wrong hands and minds (no wonder the rate of rape is high).

Watching porn has 2 major effects on the brain.

1. It alters brain activity and function: watching porn increases your libido and may lead to better sexual relationship with the object that gave you the satisfaction in the first place. It enslaves you to be attracted to the object consciously or unconscious.

It also produces dopaminogic response (Dopamine is a chemical component released by the brain which gives the body pleasure). The release of Dopamine is a way in which the brain rewards the body for a job well done. The more the porn, the brain becomes decentralised to the effect of Dopamine. The more the porn, the lower the activity for reward and this leads to a craving for feeling pleasurable. The brain ends up getting worn out from the craving for Dopamine and leaves the porn addict wanting more.

2. Function:
Watching of Pornography alters the brain size. The grey matter volume in the right caudate of the stratum (the reward part of the brain) is smaller in addicts. After excessive watching of Pornography, the stratum goes into less activity and shrink the putamen (part of the brain responsible for motivation and reward).

FACTS ABOUT PORNOGRAPHY
1. Once the body gets rewarded for a task, it immediately looses interest in it. This is why porn addicts are prone to hating porn after orgasm.
2. The brain of a porn addict is not different from that of a drug addict.

The effects of Pornography on the brain is on the increase and research is still in progress to identify and categorize them.

FRIENDLY ENEMIES EVERYONE SHOULD AVOID

Image
Life on earth is all about associations. You are what you believe in or associate with. You are who you are today because of the things and people you once associated with. No man can survive without the other because our survival here on earth is dependent on each other. In our lives, there are quite some funny things which are enemies but appear as friends. These things give us false hopes and make us comfortable when we are supposed to be working. These friendly enemies are always there for us even we feel others have abandoned us. They are closer than even our real friends. These enemies are not humans but habits and associations which we must avoid like a plague if we really want to be great in life.

Ladies, Apart From Sex, What Else Can You Offer In A Relationship?

Image
Relationships are now losing there true meanings. People no longer understand what a relationship truly is or why they are in it in the first place. What even made it worse is how kids now regard it as their playground.  Relationships are great, they are nice and worth engaging in but when the two parties have no idea as to why or what trigger them into the relationship then they have succeeded in wasting each other's time and resources. Read my article on why do people date  Permit me to say, apart from sex and romance almost 80% of ladies don't have anything to offer in a relationship. Sex is not part of a relationship in the first place, it was not even supposed to be part of the agenda, it was not even supposed to be among the things to be offered in a relationship, it was just an act created for procreation.  A healthy relationship goes beyond holding hands, kissing like pigeons, romancing each other, engaging in activities together, it is all about sa...

4 THINGS WOMEN NEED TO STOP DOING

Image
Take this from me, women are wonderful. They are the only creatures on earth who are as complicated as their body system. They can be simple and at the same time complicated, can smile and at the same time cry. They are so confused about their choices that they can say no when they actually mean yes and say yes when they mean no, say no when they mean no, and say yes when they mean yes.   (Please read it again). Only a woman can find everything wrong with everything. She is so details oriented that she can tell you about every tiny little details, from how she woke up from her bed to how she walked through the streets, how many people told her she is beautiful and then how she opened the door to her office, how she had a bad day because the cleaners were very happy (am already feeling sleepy already). Despite being unique and nice, I have come to realize that women are the genesis of their own problems and have some habits they need to cut away from. Join me as I ta...
