How Porn Affects Your Brain (Dr. Trish Leigh)

[@vegasskidd7081]

Your helping me overcome this addiction I’ve been clean for 2 weeks now

[@jordan-me1sb]

It's scary because nobody talks about this. The damage porn does is insane.

[@DrTrishLeigh]

Scary indeed.

[@emilianolopez4289]

Nobody talks about this, because porn makes the goverment (dirty) money. Capitalists think like this: "if it brings us money, we dont care where the money is coming from nor the ethics of the nature of the business which created the money".

Mam I having nightfall in every 5th day, how to stop it ?, Also its regular I cant actually say, but sometimes I get it after 7 day sometimes after 5 days, please help. ​@@DrTrishLeigh

[@RJN8580]

Thank you!! I’m 45 years old and recovering from this as a young teenager. You’re 100% correct. It effects your interactions with women. That’s why I didn’t get married until I was 38 years old and got control of my situation.

[@JJabr-tm2uu]

Such an eye-opening video. I can' even begin to thank you. God bless you.

[@anjersey-o1d]

Thank you Dr Trish. Very impactful and totally accurate. I'm living proof of all it is you've explained. Id be happy to share my experience with you to show how my addiction to porn changed my life, and not in a positive way. You're awesome.

hi doc trish good day, just want to ask, i little bit worried, i pmo but i don't feel lag or brainfog or tiredness or anything, is this a normal thing? thanks doc trish this is the first time i have this body reaction cause before i always feel off after such relapse, just a little curious as to why this is the case, thankss doc trish, have a nice day worried teenager

[@StaydwnnM]

Because ur body became accustomed to it so it doesn’t give the same reaction but that right there tells u how it wires ur brain becuz u should feel bad after but it’s changing ur brain to hit like a drug

[@_Gerson]

Dr Trish Leigh, does the brain recieve the same dose of dopamine when watching a Hollywood cinematic movie? Since most movies are fiction, like superhero movies, therefore there are actors on set performing, we do get excited when heroes save lives. Does this dopamine match the dopamine in porn? What about listening to music? Does it have provide the same dose?

[@rojilander7212]

Interesting 👍

[@caffy65432]

Coming to you every time I get the urge 🙏🏼 because your facts scare the ***** out of me 🙃

[@peace2u947]

We had a really interesting documentary on alcohol consumption in NZ and the journo dissected his alcohol habits as being a binge drinker once he started he couldn't stop. I would dissect my behaviour with porn in a similar way. the same part of the brain is activated for cocaine addicts on cocaine, like If i get super stressed I can gravitate towards that type of coping mechanism when I was really stressed out as a teen getting bullied that became my default coping mechanism of watching porn. I kind of view smartphones like how an alcoholic would view a pub. I have a Nokia 3310 and that's fine for me. My life's changed in a lot of ways, my mind overall feels a lot clearer, I now read all the time and have actually written 42 books, i'll release them publicly in the next year. I think porn is really destructive, so alluring, addictive and for me I know not to mess with it, sometimes I slip up but I've built stronger systems to help. I think we need alot of grace for people that really battle this when there are so many open doors in society and we need to understand individuals contexts. It appears harmless, it really isn't though and so damaging.

[@silentbae2246]

Dr, I wannna ask. Is a damaged PFC can repaired by the brain itself?

[@DrTrishLeigh]

When you implement the right strategies the brain heals faster. Time alone usually creates slower healing. Time and brain training equals faster healing.

QUESTION - in your opinion, should porn be illegal? Banned?

[@Leandre22_02]

They can’t ban it your job is to not use it to regulate your mood go find a girl and connect in the world it’s a difference bro

[@atenas80525]

@@Leandre22_02 May be fine to say to an adult, bro, but what about the 8 to 11 year old kids that first start? Further, we make all kinds of things illegal - or at least regulate them And again, what about the matter of informed consent amongst the performers - does society have duty to protect them?

No.

I always had a normal, healthy, high libido and was never addicted to porn. I once had a surrogate father when I was young. An older man who was kind of a hustler. He told of some issues he had had to settle with his girlfriend's Pat's performance. He didn't like her fellatio and she'd better learn how and that it was like she was sucking on a hot dog. Telling me he wasn't going to have to resort to playing with himself. I don't think him and I saw eye to eye on that. John.
