How Watching Porn Affects the Body and Mind

How harmless is it to watch adult films? How does the psyche of a man who sees nothing wrong with the daily sexual release of watching porn change? Scientists have been studying the answers to these questions for a long time and have concluded that pornography reduces a man's sexual function.

The Effect of Porn on the Body

The brain is man's sexiest organ - it is the brain that issues commands to other organs of the human body, including the sex organs. But when pornography is consumed, dopamine is produced more slowly in the brain, and its effect on previous stimuli is altered:

• No spontaneous erection;
  
  
• Repeated viewing of the pornography photos or videos does not result in an erection;
  
  
• Penile sensitivity decreases, indicating a lack of brain response to pleasure;
  
  
• Inability to achieve orgasm with a real partner or delayed ejaculation;
  
  
• Impotence;
  
  
• Erectile dysfunction when watching even the most exciting or exotic porn;
  
  
• An erectile dysfunction of erection medication.

The Effect of Porn on the Mind

Sexologists have concluded that, gradually, porn ceases to be arousing as it becomes an everyday occurrence. You have to look for more and more new videos, which may not always match the healthy attraction.

The Effect of Porn on Attitudes Toward Women

Aside from erections, men addicted to porn also have a different attitude toward women. They become hostile towards the opposite sex and tend to live under stereotypes about the role of women in society.

Addiction Similar to Drug Dependency

Watching pornographic films or photos is addictive, which scientists have linked to drug addiction. Obsessive sexual desires begin to pursue men in public places, which leads to specific problems. Experiments have shown that watching porn activates three specific areas of the brain in men, similar to the effects of drugs.

Know Your Limits with Porn

The problems described above are caused by systematic viewing of porn, whereas a minimal amount of such videos can help to diversify your intimate life.
