Porn Addiction is something that is very prevalent in today's society. Due to the share abundance and easy access of porn, the average porn user is getting younger and younger. But it is not talked about openly and many people do not believe porn addiction is really an addiction. Now being 22 i have been watching high speed internet porn for more than half my lifetime. I believed I started watching porn and masturbating at least once a day at the age of 10. I used to spend hours on hours surfing porn sites and opening multiply tabs. My thought was everybody is doing it , so its nothing wrong with watching it. Through out my time watching porn i realized that my taste for porn was getting more aggressive and i was always looking for the next fetish. Whether its gang bang, female dominance, interracial and etc. almost every week i had a new fetish, I was always searching for the new thing to get me off because by previous porn fetishes wouldn't get me as excited as before. I finally realized i was addicted to porn when I decided to give it up. I realize i was addicted because i could not break the habit. Its like a paradox , your only aware of the addiction when your trying to quit your addiction. I had no clue what all that porn was doing to my developing mind at the time when I was watching it. I was being desensitized by the massive amount of stimuli I was letting inside my brain.
A MRI experiment done by Cambridge University, and discussed in a Channel 4 documentary, showed sexual images to healthy controls and compulsive porn users. And as you can see, the compulsive porn users brains are over stimulated in the arousal and reward system of the brain. At this point a large amount of dopamine is released in the brain , a chemical which gives you the feelings of pleasure,desires and cravings. Test have soon that porn addiction is just has strong as any other drug addictions its been said its addictive as heroin. Also in the reward center of the brain, when we are jacking off to 2D girls there is primal reward that is necessary for the survival of one's self thorough an offspring. Subconsciously we have the illusion that were spreading our seeds with multiply of women , so again we feel good. But in reality its just in tissue paper. Which prevent us from having the confident or drive to even approaching real women.
If you have been watching high speed internet for a long time and also if you you started watching young. Your brain have gone through a rewiring process. In which our brain gets more pleasure from porn than a real woman. This explains why we sometimes cant keep it up while with a girl but can get off from 2D girls. Erectile dysfunction, low sperm count, anxiety, low energy and low testosterone are also results of porn addiction.
Another side of this needs to be considered. The benefits of not watching porn and retaining our semen it is said to give us super powers. Past and cutlers , philosophies and medical practices from Asia and India have long claimed that semen retention leads to better health and longer life. Semen is made out of mixture of calcium, phosphorus, lecithin, cholesterol, albumin,and nucleoproteins. When it is retained, it is re-absorbed into the body where it is used to directly support the brain and central nervous system.This improves there functions of the brain and nervous system, making you more focused, energized and confident. Many porn addicts have testified of lost of anxiety just by stop watching porn, masturbating and orgasm.
