      There are plenty of organizations pushing for porn education to be taught alongside of sex education. Kids are getting exposed to the stuff long before they learn that porn might have detrimental side effects.

      thomaswenker, even with the current situation now with children/teens, parents would probably be resistant to such a thing being mentioned (as they don't want their kids being exposed to it), but it's the same dumb argument that parents make against education on weed and other drugs.

    If porn use truly enters the realm of addiction, then simply trying to stop "cold turkey" will not work. All addictions follow a similar cycle and process, and essentially act as emotional coping mechanisms (that is to say they are medicative).
    To break free from the cycle, one must replace the unhealthy behavior with new, efficient coping mechanisms that help regulate and sooth negative emotions.

Now it will be, only the smart will survive. If you do not realize the quick easy pleasures are destroying your ability to progress. You will never get out of a trap your own mind can put you in.

      Women don't need sex like men do. For women sex is approx the same level as food but for men sex is as important as food to live a positive life. Yet women can use this stuff against men very easily by controlling them with sex

    In response to the last point you made about people choosing to exploit their brain's programming in favor of porn instead of real interactions, one of the sad truths for some people is that...they wouldn't have it any other way. The potential for intense porn experiences increases the threshold for pleasurable experiences such that one may not be able to see the point of giving it up, even though they know it's ruining them. It's one thing to be oblivious to your addiction to porn, alcohol, games, etc. It's another thing to look at people who have overcome their addictions. But it's heartbreaking to see those who are aware of their own addiction and yet choose to live with it, because, once again, they wouldn't have it any other way.

    @Lock2002ful 5 років тому +159

    Now, while that is a very interesting topic, I see several issues here.
    Our brain is wired in a way that we seek out pleasure, whatever kind of pleasure.
    Like mentioned in the video, it can be sex, porn, gaming, your phone, youtube, fb, drugs and what not.
    Now, you cannot quit everything you’re doing and try living a let’s say dull life.
    Also the reset the brain thing is said easier than done.
    Also while I get that this video is focusing on porn in this aspect of addiction, I would’ve liked to give it a broader perspective as well as how to deal with the addictions one has.
    Obviously you can’t make a detailed video about porn, smoking, gaming and what not.
    But since our brain doesn’t distinguish between the kind of behavior we get pleasure from, I think there could’ve been some general tipps for all kinds of addictive as well as a suggestion of how much is ok.
    So, when I do one thing too often, I risk my brain of dumbing down dopamin receptors because my brain is constantly flooded with dopamine.
    Now we can’t and definitely shouldn’t stop doing things that are pleasurable. Because that would also lead to depression, anxiety and several other psychological as well as physiological problems.
    So when is too much too much?
    In my case, I actually realized for myself that in general when I watch too much porn regularly and masturbate once or twice a day, I have less sexual longing for my partner as well as problems coming during sex.
    I’m in my mid 30s so ED has never been an issue unless I’ve been drunk as a skunk ;-P
    Now, I also realize the unrest I feel if I don’t pick up my phone regularly, check emails, FB, YT, updates and so on, although making me scroll through YT and FB content and comments so much makes me feel miserable. Mostly because there is so much negativity online in different forms.
    When I forced myself to reduce the time spent I felt much better.
    Same goes for gaming, watching tv shows or movies and eating fast food or sweets.
    I’m also a smoker and have anxiety issues that I deal with by taking medication and therapy.
    So, yeah I got about everything there is. xDD
    The problem I have, and I don’t know if anyone has similar experiences, when I stop doing these things it makes me feel better and worse at the same time.
    I’m more easily on edge, feel anxious, restless.
    Still, my overall mood increases.
    The biggest issue I’m left with is, what to do with my time?
    I started going to a sports gym, reading, learning languages, playing the piano, hanging out with friends more often.
    But I am prone to overdoing things, having issues with finding the real balance.
    And let’s be honest, if I completely manage to quit all that stuff mentioning in the beginning of my post, I’ll definitely become more dopamine dependent on the new things I do.
    Long story short: Perhaps it’s just me but I believe humans need certain things that give them pleasure on a constant basis. And if the overall issue here is “too much dopamin is bad”, what is the alternative? Being miserable or just doing boring stuff and chores half your life?
    Is it really that unhealthy to indulge yourself in something you enjoy?
    Sure, smoking is bad for your physical health. The same goes for eating sugar in masses.
    But if people are happy with porn, games and anything else that doesn’t damage their body is it really that bad?
    Sure, watching porn 10 hours a day or doing anything 10 hours a day is not good. Not even going to the gym.
    Thus I think the most important question remains: What is just enough and when is it too much?

    • @weneedmoreconsideratepeopl4006
      @weneedmoreconsideratepeopl4006 5 років тому +16

      If you're finding your routine boring, then spice or sweeten it up a little by planning or daydreaming about your future. Yep that actually works.
      Why be a prisoner to your whims and past habits? When you can enjoy your present more as you set out to your future and goals while sharing it with the people you enjoy.
      P.S. the balance that you're talking about comes as you prioritize things. If you have enough time to fall back into habits, then you're either unmotivated, someone with no goals/passions, or someone who doesn't care about the future. So just let your future plans go wild 😁 Might help.

    • @aceof8S
      @aceof8S 5 років тому +18

      I think that the decreased dopamine response, is your body naturally telling yourself to "cool off", but that it is our emotional defenses / coping mechanisms that force us to just keep right on going and ignore the safety countermeasures, eventually numbing ourselves. And perhaps, even potentially dumbing down our brains a little due to over-stimulation or whatever...

    • @TheAngryMarshmallow
      @TheAngryMarshmallow 5 років тому +19

      So the reason they probably can't give tips on how much is harmless is because it all has addictive properties, no matter how little. ALSO we are all different, genetically and otherwise, as in we have different tolerances so we will be more or less prone to addiction than others.

    I fell 7 stories and was in a coma for 3 weeks. This accident wouldn't have happened if I wasn't an alcoholic, a constant porn user, and a constant drug user. I realized after I got out of my coma that it was the most beautiful thing because I was about a month without porn, it was like heaven. Everything looked so beautiful But I soon went back to my addicting ways, especially porn. Here I am 17 years later, and trying it again. It's really hard, but it gets easier. I sometimes am upset I have to walk around with a limp, but am truly thankful to be alive, because it could've been so much worse. Let me tell you, addictions kill, i know this 1st hand. I know sometimes life is confusing but just be patient and don't give up.

    I liked the chart where you showed the dopamine levels of both sex and food consumption. I would agree that the graph is accurate if the participant participates in both activities but I would also state that if someone took a vow of celibacy, dopamine levels well go up the roof with food consumption. A perfect example of this is catholic priests. ( There are a large percentage of Priests that are clinically obese and they sure do love food. Also in my own life of choosing not to engage in sex any more untill marriage (which was a choice I made about ten years ago for religious reasons and not scientific at the time)has caused me over the years to become a huge foodie. When I was in college the joke of my neighbors was they waisted their money on booze, weed, and cigarettes but I waisted my money on gourmet food. On occasion when I felt like drinking or getting high I would order pizza, burgers etc for them and trade with them becaue they were usually stuck with just eating top ramin😁. It worked out very well for both of us. Later in life when I began smoking weed a lot more I slowly began the phase of eating top ramin, pb and j sandwiches, granola bars, etc to support my consumption of weed. Haha. Another bizarre sidenote. I noticed weed would causs me to have a strong desire to look at porn which is why I cut back on the weed. Now I'm eating expensive food again haha. As you can see I have an addictive personality.

    Thanks for the video, it's a very interesting topic. I especially like how you end it, 17:26. "In the case of humans, a big brain has been a very effective tool for protecting the important germ cells and the genetic information they carry. But, we're a little too smart for our own good. We learned how to exploit the programming that paired survival and reproduction with pleasure. With a few taps on a magic rectangle, we can access pure distilled pleasure, completely separated from its original purpose: survival and reproduction."

      Samaria Outlaw i actually had a revelation to myself the other week. It’s nearly impossible to deny meaning when you are in pain. So when you self harm your force yourself to recognize meaning in life. Despite your mind possibly thinking otherwise at the time. So in conclusion I think self harm is used by most so that they can remind themselves there is meaning to life even if they can’t find it the pain will force the meaning into them.
