Porn use can cause Brain damage

Interview with Roman Mironov of NOFAP (3)

Is porn bad or inherently bad for the brain?


I don’t want to be seen as moralising about anyone’s personal
values, ethics, standards or morals. What we do know is that
experiments demonstrate that porn viewing can do permanent damage
to the brain. (We are dealing with lots of porn use over lots of
hours; no short periodical or ad hoc use).


Once damaged in that way, it is permanent and the deficit cannot
be repaired. (“A bit scaremongery Gary”). No, not really. Do your
own research. Don’t believe me!


A person will not know whether a first few viewings of porn –
which will create a template on the brain – will later cause the
brain to choose porn as its “go-to” self-soother of choice. You
do not choose the compulsion or addictive behaviour of choice.
Your brain chooses.


Porn use over the years, is not static. Just like illegal drug
use and alcohol want increase to give the same high, so porn use
likely will increase. The increase tends to be in the form of
greater novelty, risk taking, boundary crossing and not getting
caught – therefore becoming a greater expert at going
underground/hiding - (which "Shame" loves, because Shame is all
about “hidden” and “hiding”).


Then with increased use, sensitisation to a partner’s body can be
set up; fantasy, objectification and dining out on multiple past
porn images, become the starter course before being able to have
sex. There is then more than two of you in the bed.


This is the terrain of Psychosexual Therapy – to help you
desensitise. I am a Psychosexual Therapist.
