Use your brain, porn kills it. High-speed internet has created a generation of men with access to highly addictive porn.
Recent neurology studies found that the more porn a man watches, the less gray matter he'll have in his brain.
Studies at Cambridge University found that pornography users are fuelled by a need rather than because they get pleasure from it.
In May 2014, a study in the journal JAMA Psychiatry found that the more porn men reported watching, the less volume and activity they had in the regions of the brain—specifically the striatum—linked to reward processing and motivation. They also found that connectivity between the striatum and the prefrontal cortex (which is the part of the brain used for decision making, planning, and behavior regulation) weakened the more porn the men reported watching.
However, brain changes aren’t limited to porn. Anything you do frequently, from smoking pot to playing a musical instrument to driving a delivery truck, can change your brain. The bigger concern is whether it affects your functioning or causes distress.
