Porn Addition

Ever wondered why the things you watch are getting more and more extreme?

Watching porn is a normal thing to do, there is nothing shameful about it. However, porn-users often feel ashamed of what they watch. The reason being, what starts off as 'normal' often becomes increasingly more extreme. You may be wondering why that is, so...

When you watch a lot of porn, you are constantly seeking something new. This new content may not even be in line with your original fetish, as it's the novelty that leads to arousal. However, finding something new becomes difficult when you've exhausted all the categories that previously did the trick.

When you 'overdo' it, your sexual response system becomes overloaded and so it desensitises your dopamine receptors.

This means that what was once arousing, is now not enough. So, more extreme content is needed to blast the brain with more neuro-chemicals to arouse, shock, or even disturb us, to get that same high. So there you have it, that's what's going on. If you feel like this is you, please seek help either online or with a sex therapist. But remember that it's nothing to be ashamed of.
