its more of a specific issue with MODERN pornography… Its not the same as looking at hustler or playboy… if you consider that pornographic, its a matter of NOVELTY addiction and actually is not even correlated to a sex addiction at all… The effects can come to effect sexual counters with real women and sexual health but in essence the problem itself is just an addiction to constant novelty seeking or pixels on a screen… It creates a warped view of what sex is actually like, You have some people that actually prefer porn to actual sex or see it as not to different then you have a potential problem… Its not natural to our ancient reward circuitry system thats the problem… It is an unnatural environment of virtually endless supply of something the brain can not register as being different from real… It will adapt to the changes and think it hit some sort of evolutionary jack pot, again it is all really really simple in normal terms… Desensitization and Hyper stimulation in the frontal cortex… Your brain is just trying to get as much as it can while the opportunity is present. It also will make changes to the brain that lay down like large electrical circuits that become reinforced to certain stimuli that it sees rewarding… Just simply the seeking and reward nature of the brain… It just so happens that with pornography masturbation is involved… But that alone does not mean your not at risk if you don’t do so while viewing because again it is the same fundamental changes that happen as when someone is addicted to any other such thing… I.E. food [/quote]
If I correctly understood what you were trying to convey here, it seems like pumping your Johnson to some topless chick playing with herself or getting fucked by some guy shouldn’t illicit any change in the “electrical circuits” in the brain that would cause a desensitisation to actual sex.
You’re talking about tricking the brain, which would require a large quantity of `artificial’ material.
I want to ask you your opinion on something – if a guy has a sexual fantasy that he can’t live out in real life, are you saying that if he gets enough of that by viewing it online he will eventually become desensitised to actual sex and hence lose some ability to sexually perform? What would be the time period of this transgression?
Another thing – is it simply a case of frequency or is any `artificially sourced stimulation’ threatening to actual sexual stimulation? [/quote]
No I am saying that a guy can become increasingly more and more desensitized after becoming hooked on porn in general even if it is just a chick playing with herself or whatever its not the content that matters… It can increasingly become more disturbing or violent etc… but the progression say from nude chicks on playboy sites to what ever it may be does not matter… It is the very act of novelty seeking and searching that causes increasingly desensitization… it is the brain trying to fertilize all these chicks on this screen with the same excitement and reward system as like World of Warcraft while at the same time trying to masturbate at a rate far higher normal then actual vaginal intercourse… If you are so interested or inclined then rather then getting into a debate with me about it check out the website and videos for yourself, I sure as hell can’t explain it as well as someone that has more experience on the topic I am just re playing the truth I found in what they have mentioned as well as my experience of how the brain functions.
Also it does not need to be some crazy high tech savy research to know if it warrants serious truth or not it just takes some common sense… The same I have found with people in the mental health field and approaching curing behavioral habits in the complete wrong manor, a topic I have alot more expirence and knowledge in but is a different topic entirely from this thread although addiction can lead to things such as anxiety, depression, and various other traits of acute symptoms of exaggerated function.
