8 Ways Porn Can Negatively Affect You
Porn is an ever invasive presence in our lives. It’s available free, on many sites and is constantly trying to get our attention via pop-up ads or banners. It is no wonder then that more and more people are watching porn and that porn sites like PornHub see more traffic than most others. It is, however, foolish to think that all this porn-viewing will not affect the viewers. Here are some ways porn can negatively affect you .
1. Watching porn induces the Coolidge Effect, where people seek newness. That means sex will only be fun for you if you can manage to find new partners all the time. It’ll be harder to get and stay aroused if you get into a long-term relationship.

2. Porn is affecting younger and younger kids, with kids younger than 12 admitting that they’ve watched porn. That’s means they’re starting off with very unrealistic expectations at very impressionable ages.

3. Cambridge University conducted brain scans of porn addicts and found that they looked exactly like those of drug addicts.link here

4. Porn addicts believe that their addiction causes depression and anxiety, and it also negatively affects their ability to find a romantic partner.

5. Watching porn releases dopamine which causes pleasure, but regular release of dopamine desensitizes the brain and leads to a dull response to sexual stimulation over time.This dulling of the dopamine effect means that viewers need to watch more porn than before to experience any pleasure. They also need to watch more graphic and extreme content.

6. One of the effects of an orgasm is the release of oxytocin, the bonding hormone, which helps bind you to your partner. When you watch porn, your ‘partner’ is in the screen, so your brain forms an attachment to those images, driving you to keep watching porn.

7. Porn can quickly go from being a casual pastime to a full blown addiction that takes up hours each day and can take a toll on the body.

8. Porn viewing does something strange to men: it makes them have high expectations from women; yet in real life, their preference is for a computer screen and a bottle of lotion rather than a real woman.
