Years ago, the porn industry relied on magazine sales that were limited to sell in only approved stores and were always kept away from the young people to protect their innocence. ADULTS ONLY! The internet changed all that and since the web became the primary method of communication, there has been a 100% correlation with the amount of porn being viewed and the uptick in sexual activity / addiction, sexually transmitted disease, and mental illness.

Evolutionary Design and Dopamine Addiction

Through evolutionary design, the brain is wired to respond to sexual stimulation with surges of dopamine. This neurotransmitter, most often associated with reward anticipation, also acts to program memories and information into the brain. This adaption means that when the body requires something, like food or sex, the brain remembers where to return to experience the same pleasure and it can quickly become an addiction.

Porn and Health & Wellness

Whether you watch a little or a lot, you are likely to become addicted. The sexual actions played out on thousands of websites is available for all to see can warp people’s sense of self. From basic sensuality on the level of R rating to the most perverse XXX can be sourced with a few clicks with no protections in place to shield the young and innocent from viewing. As a result, we can see society changing rapidly and few speak about the role of porn in health & wellness.

Balanced Sexual Activity

Years ago, it was shameful to masturbate but medical studies have proven that it is healthy and good for you to experience sexual activity alone or with your partner. Healthy sex like EVERYTHING else, means balanced. Balanced diet, balanced work, balanced stress, balanced workouts. Once you take something – any topic – and make it excessive, you begin to introduce the downside.

Adrenal Fatigue

In this case the human body is equipped with hormonal balances from chemical receptors that help to keep your hormone levels balanced and working to upregulate your immune system. Once you overwork this system eventually you get adrenal fatigue and this can be an additional cause of illness and the suppression of the immune system.

Neurological Repercussions of Porn

Since the advent of the internet, porn use has skyrocketed to dizzying heights. Pornhub, the world’s largest free porn site, received over 36 billion site visits during 2020 alone. Science is only just beginning to reveal the neurological repercussions of porn consumption. But it is already clear that the mental health and sex lives of its widespread audience are suffering catastrophic effects. From depression to erectile dysfunction, porn appears to be hijacking our neural wiring with dire consequences.

Impacts of Porn Consumption

In the long term, pornography seems to create sexual dysfunctions, especially the inability to achieve erection or orgasm with a real-life partner. Marital quality and commitment to one’s romantic partner also appear to be compromised. Monitoring these effects, some scientists have drawn parallels between porn consumption and substance abuse which is another entire newsletter.
