This presentation is not an argument against pornography. It was created for anyone who has a porn addiction, or wants to understand pornography addiction.
Science teacher Gary Wilson explains the evolutionary forces behind porn's appeal, how the brain changes in response to super-normal stimulation, what makes today's porn different from static porn of the past, and what you need to know to regain your sense of direction if you're hooked on porn.

Excellent comment. I like to read SOTT while I take coffee in the morning
It taught me a lot of things
What an insightful video of how chemicals work in the brain that can control your thoughts and actions without you knowing about it. I give a thumbs up for the videos!

drives the point home
laura has written quite a bit about addition (the basic mechanisms seem to be the same, whether it is porn or food etc), and this video really drove the point home for me, which is --->
addiction leads to a weakening of your logical and rational thinking process, resulting in weakening of the circuits used to really THINK about the consequences of 'going for it'. on a more bigger picture level, i would say being in a state of addiction (which is more common than we realize) reduces our capacity to really think and learn on the larger issues of life that affect each and every one of us.
Perhaps (again on a bigger picture level), this is deliberate and serves the agenda of the PTB to keep the populace drugged and hence really not in a position to make personal and collective decisions about the literal survival of the human species! I am reminded of the rat experiment where the rat was implanted with an electrode and given a lever that pressed would stimulate a dopamine response. The rat literally over-stimulated itself to death, and in the process gave up thinking about all the things that would enable it to survive.
So it seems what we really ought to do is identify what addictions (food, gambling, porn + a lot more i suspect) we have and try to get rid of them as much as possible. Only this may help us 'rewire the brain' to get our thinking circuits strong again, that we may be able to make the choices we need to make to save our skins.

This is worth watching, but they all been pulled and deleted. No surprise. I wonder if there is a way to find and correct the links, if they still exist in any format...

Quote of the Day
It wasn't the world being round that agitated people, but that the world wasn't flat. When a well-packaged web of lies has been sold gradually to the masses over generations, the truth will seem utterly preposterous and its speaker a raving lunatic.

This is worth watching for a general understanding of many things brain/behavior related even if you don't have energies tied up with porn. It offers concise insight into the basic brain mechanics which drive automatic, and therefore, most life in all its many aspects. A good refresher course.
It never occurred to me before that adrenaline in combination with an emotional or behavioral pattern works to strengthen a given neural pathway. I mean, I knew that, but I didn't THINK about it. The connection which jumped out for me was coffee.
Coffee, (caffeine), is essentially a controlled adrenaline switch. What you are thinking about or doing while drinking coffee is going to leave a much deeper trench in your brain than otherwise. Verrrry interesting.
