What Lust Does To Your Brain

We made a couple of videos on how to stop porn addiction and how damaging it is, but what about lust? In this video, we dive into what lust does to your brain and how it can impact your mental health and emotional well-being. Lust is a powerful force that can lead to a lustful mind and, in some cases, even addiction.
Understanding the psychological aspects of lust can help you recognize its influence and take steps to maintain a healthy mindset.
Whether you're trying to quit porn, stop watching porn, or simply want to understand how lust affects your brain, we hope this video provides valuable insights. With that said, let's look at the relationship between lust and the brain, and discuss tips on how to navigate this complex emotion.

When talking about lust, I feel we don't deal enough with the issue of loneliness and the need to be loved, touched, caressed, etc.

[@Reality-Distortion]

How don't we deal with it enough? Nowadays you can't spit on this platform to not hit content regarding loneliness and how love starved people are. It's closer to redundant than underdiscussed.

[@Harsh-Raj18]

Become a man bro , a man does not need anybody's companionship , a man is a sign of intelligence and high mental strength u don't need any touch or love at all start controlling your mind and things will change for now it is the mind that is controlling most of the men , .make mind your slave like monks have done but unfortunately west seems to have surrounded themselves with a lot of lustful content all around so it is kind of difficult for them to overcome coz environment plays a very big role

Something also very important to know: *There is a difference between genuine desire and fantasy. DO NOT muddle the two.* There is a difference between feeling good from a scenario you think about and you have control over with no repercussions, and actually partaking in that activity. Confusing these two can be devastating. Mentally, emotionally, socially, and in other ways. THINK before you do things. Think about how you would feel AFTERWARDS. When you watch porn, there is always an ending, no further explanation into the consequences of anybody's actions. *Real life is different.* You WILL suffer the consequences, be it through a damaged relationship, a damaged social image, having a guilty consience, etc. Ask yourself how your friends would look at you. Ask yourself how your family would look at you. Ask how your significant other would look at you. This part is very important, especially because it is arguably the most difficult thing to do. *Think about how you will feel afterwards, if YOU would agree with the things you are doing.* I send nothing but love to those struggling with this issue.

I hear from many different places that to have lustful tendencies needs to be kept in, controlled: that it's something undesirable about you. To me I view it in a similar manner to anger: anger isn't even necessarily a bad part about you! It's what you DO when you're angry, and how OFTEN you are angry that makes a difference! Same thing with lust I'd argue. To feel lustful for someone isn't necessarily evil in itself, it's how you act upon those urges and who you spend your time with that makes the difference! 😊

It's also the frequency and the intensity that matters for both anger and lust. Even if you can control it, if they are too frequent and/or too intense you may feel overwhelmed. I'm having a really hard time with lust and i can't control myself. i'm doing too much sex with too many people and when i don't I search for people to have sex with or I feel depressed.

So thats why Minos Prime from the ULTRAKİLL said:”i have failed to bring you salvation.” He probably tried to make the citizens of lust layer (very different from the source which the game takes) acknowledge their lust or feelings, though we don’t see any phone or computer, distracting yourself with puzzles or reading books and etc. İs possible. Though we dont see these in the game, i bet Minos did attempted salvation with those. No wonder Minos Prime looks like a bodybuilder since he wanted to probably free them from their unchecked lust. Though we dont see these in a game, this video did make think about how was the Lust layer like before Minos became a prime soul. Minos in ULTRAKİLL is very different from the more cruel yet judges fair mythological one. This video also made me realize how lustful i was. Even though i was aware of it.

This make me confused, if two people find each other attractive and just want to satisfy their pleasures, isn't it a win-win situation?

[@MorgueInTheVoid]

@@Ticoryta No. First of all nobody should want satisfy their pleasure with someone they don't trust. We've normalized instant gratification when it comes to physical pleasure and people don't see their body as something sacred anymore. So people who use other people as nothing but a way to satisfy their needs, are doing nothing but acting on impulsive behavior due to their lack of control. And if they keep acting on their desperation for pleasure, they'll find it much harder later down the line to find a partner in life because they've been conditioned to go find the next available human online any time they feel lonely and they don't know how to put their sexual energy into anything else so it's just easier to sleep with a stranger than to deal with their emotions 🤷‍♀️

I had a feeling of missing out when I was growing up, so that sort of messed my mind up even going into adulthood. I saw women as a prize and meat, rather than actual human beings. Nothing wrong with finding someone attractive, but if that's all that you see to them, then it isn't healthy.

I have cycles of lust. I can go for about a month where I don't have a single lustful thought, then a few weeks where it's almost all I do. There are points of balance in-between, and I always feel best when I'm there. Thankfully, I have a very VERY lustful boyfriend to both satisfy those needs when they come up, and bring them back when they go away. He helps me keep a good balance, even if we're still long distance. "The dose makes the poison." Good in moderation, like almost all things.

[@markprothero2666]

I would also add to that, avoiding environments or people who deliberately (or otherwise) trigger a lustful response in you. And avoiding those kinds of friendships, or at the very least to have strong boundaries in place with them, and be careful with the sorts of other people they might introduce you to. Some ‘types’ of people like to trigger lustful responses in others, just for the fun of it. They might or might not even intend on following through with it. It helps boost their self esteem, effectively at the expense of yours. Some people also pretend that they don’t do it deliberately, because they don’t want to get called names. But by the age of 25 for instance, very few people are actually naive enough to not realise that dressing in revealing outfits doesn’t ’trigger’ certain kinds of reactions from other people. Most mature women are well aware of the sort of effect they can have on men. Some women act responsibly with this, whereas others like to act provocatively. Avoid the 2nd type, and don’t believe them when they try to downplay it or when they behave differently around you. It is a performative response, not an authentic response.

[@MaddoxEzman]

So adult women shouldn’t wear crop tops or other outfits like that because men get aroused by it? I wear them because I’m confident in my body and I’m not doing it to please men, plus they’re comfortable as hell when it’s really hot outside. Hell, some active wear while working out is revealing, would you tell a woman not to wear those as well because men at the gym might look at her and get turned on? Edit: spelling mistake

[@_notsaf]

Its intrinsic in a woman to want attention and validation- all ages. Fighting that instinct especially with a man shes attracted to, takes a lot of self awareness

[@toyotawitha20mm35]

I'm a man, I've never felt lustful towards a women's body, men on the other hand....👀

[@markprothero2666]

@@_notsaf I know a couple of women whom I'm friends with who have such strength of character and self awareness. The reason I'm only friends with them is because owing to my own damaged past, it often takes me too long to trust people, and so they got into relationships with other guys. I was disappointed, but not angry with them. I'm grateful to have them as friends, and the other thing that differentiates those women from the 'average' is that we are genuine _friends,_ not the "friendzone" bs. There are no mixed signals or flirting involved, just genuine respect and empathy for one another. Making better, authentic, friends this way has helped me recalibrate myself and be less cynical towards women and even people in general. Adopting these kinds of standards towards women comes at the risk of occasionally being called "narrow minded", "insecure" or "controlling" by women with promiscuous dating patterns, but it should not matter much what they think anyway if you're genuinely not interested in them. Took me a few years to grow out of the impulse to argue with these sorts of idiots. Many years ago I had a conversation with a guy in university, who was of the mindset that "all women are gold diggers". Regardless even of whether that statement is true or not, his mindset alone would predispose him to be disproportionately exposed to gold diggers. Because, if you believe that 'all women are gold diggers', and _even if_ just 1% of women are gold diggers (which I know is more than that), your chosen method for attracting women will be tailored to attracting gold diggers. And thus, all you will attract is gold diggers, thereby reinforcing the original incorrect belief. This is called self-selection bias, furthermore creating something of a self-reinforcing feedback-loop of his worldview. He would go into overdraft to withdraw £1000 from his bank account, so he could 'subtly' flaunt it at the bar when on holiday in poorer countries. No surprise, he attracted gold diggers, and when they found out he was broke, they would dump him and leave him complaining that they were only interested in his money. And he got robbed once. To meet good men, or good women, or good people in general, you have to start believing that good people exist, before you can start to attract them. Even if it is as little as 5% of people or whatever, that's good enough. It's too much effort and not practical trying to be friends with everybody anyway.

Most relationships are made through the motivation of Lust, the sexual gratification we get when we fantasize getting in bed with someone. It isn't through emotional attachment or of the desire to become exclusive with that person/person's, because the emotion felt isn't strong enough inorder to motivate you to form a relationship at first. That's why lust is mostly pursued and is why people say you shouldn't be friends first when you like someone. It kills the sexual attraction needed to start it. And sense there is no gaurantee when someone will start to actually have an emotionally attraction for someone while being their friend inorder to form that romantic connection, it is not advised or pursued as much than the former. In conclusion, it is up to you to pick your poison, weither to be friends first or to pursue lust, both have risks and both have pros to it depending on what you want out of a relation with someone.

[@Vishfeast]

Oh my lanta!!!! This video is amazing!!! Thank you for bringing this awareness!!! If i could add a bit of my experience to this video: 1) When you are single and emotionally available to date, lust is a good early indicator for sexual capability. The issue with lust is that it will/can conflict with the sense of temptation, unfortunately it's became way to of a social norm to go outside of your relationship. That when you face the decision to act on lust, if you don't check that inner moral voice you have and control your behavior, your will only hurt yourself down the long road with other decisions by giving into temptation. 2) For the person who is receiving a lot of lustful advances from people, its also important to realize, that it's VERY RARE, that you have long term capability with someone. It can be incredibly illusive that you have a plethora of "viable" options, but this can lead to some serious consequences with the ability to trust someone, after you realize your long term emotional and commonality in goals, personality and dreams. In other words, acting on lust and having to many options can create a lot of trauma of personal acts of betrayal you will endure. It can also create a very low tolerance for future relationships, that otherwise would be a small issue, is blown into big proportion. 3) Subconsciously tying your bonding mechanism (the chemicals you release during sex) to multiple partners at once, may lead to a false sense of what a healthy behavior would be. It's not bad to "test the waters" per say, but just like if your a drug addict, you should know what your taking every time you do something. If you feel like you have a hard time bonding long term, or you feel like your going through a series of "failed" relationships, you make want to look into this issue. Abstaining from sex and looking inwards of past negative complications you had from acting on lust (ie, getting used for sex), and really putting high value on importance and value that a long term relationship can bring in the future. Don't forget! Your going to be old one day, one day you gotta grow up and take control over your temptations!
