Introduction | Your brain on porn | Internet pornography
What exactly happens in the brain when you watch porn? Watching porn causes the brain to secrete large amounts of a substance called dopamine. It gives you a pleasant sensation. The fact is that no matter what you do, the brain secretes this substance. It inspires you to do it over and over again. Watching porn releases dopamine that makes you want to watch more porn. But it turns out that the more you watch porn, the less your brain's ability to respond to this substance.
Naturally, more dopamine is needed to experience the same level of happiness. I mean, I had to watch more porn to get that much pleasure. It's so bitter. This is a vicious cycle. This is exactly what happens in the brain of a person who is addicted to alcohol or cocaine. So, in the beginning, the one who gets a 'kick' in two pegs has to take three pegs, then four pegs, then five-six pegs to become 'hi'.This is called a click. The same goes for porn. But is he addicted to porn? Will it result in compulsive sexual behavior? This is the real key point.
Humor is not just because addicts are addicted to drugs; So they desperately want those foods, they can't live without them, so they take them. The same thing happened with porn. The people who took part in this experiment said that they want to see more blue films, but they did not say that they enjoy watching them! Let's just say that they keep watching those movies with some inexplicable urge. That's what makes them addicted to porn, let's say. But does that mean they are addicted to watching porn? To know the difference between a habit and an addiction, one must first look at what an addiction is.
According to Dictionary.com, addiction is a habit, but a habit that is difficult to break. It is almost impossible to stop it. Another specialty of addiction is that if you do not get what you are addicted to, it results in a huge mental trauma. From this point of view, the craving for porn comes somewhere between habit and addiction, more serious than a habit but not as bad as addiction.
The difference between porn click and Compulsive Sexual Behavior (CSB) should also be explained here. Symptoms of CSB include an intense urge to have sex, constant sexual thoughts, loss of control of mind, and impairment at work or in the community. Clicking on porn can result in CSB. The American Psychiatrist's Association classifies mental illness and publishes it from time to time under the title 'The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders'. The most recent version (DSM-5) was published in 2013. It does not include CSB. This means that CSB cannot be called a mental illness. So there is no question of calling porn a mental illness. Experts also disagree on whether what is called hypersexuality or sexual addiction can be called mental illness. DSM-5 does not include sexuality or sexual addiction.
So let's say that porn is addictive (at least for the sake of this article) without the wording of perversions, diseases, addictions, habits, compulsions, etc. Enough is enough for us to conclude that continuous dopamine secretion may be the cause of this condition. Teenagers between the ages of thirteen and nineteen watch a lot of porn around the world because porn is free and easily available on the Internet. A study conducted by the Indian Market Research Bureau a few years ago found that adolescent boys and girls in India.
The number of girls was not small but thirty percent. The human brain develops by the age of twenty-five. This part of the brain, especially the prefrontal cortex, is not fully developed. This is the 'conscious' part of the brain. It plays a role in controlling our behavior. So children are more likely to do irrational things when they are teenagers.
Therefore, special care is needed in their case. It is impossible to keep these children away from watching porn. Therefore, parents should explain to them that it is a form of deception to communicate with them and watch them on the internet, instead of intimidating them and forbidding them to watch porn. It should be borne in mind that this is one of the false promises of weight loss drugs without advertisements.
The beauty of pornstars appearing on the internet is often the alchemy of plastic surgery, they have to be convinced that their long-running career is a fabrication of the camera. Otherwise, along with other possible side effects of porn, they are also more likely to develop a complex about their own bodies.
(In short, parents should communicate with their adolescent children in a friendly manner. They should be given sex education in the course of the chat, so that children do not get distracted by watching porn. On the contrary, by understanding scientific information, they will realize the ins and outs of the subject and will be able to live life more responsibly and efficiently.
