Pornography is among the most widespread habits worldwide. While many viewers consider it harmless, mounting evidence tells a very different story.
A recent study published in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience tracked brain activity and emotional reactions in real time as participants watched pornographic content. Frequent viewers showed brain patterns resembling opioid addiction and experienced noticeable declines in cognitive function. But why?
This video explains the science behind pornography, discusses the debate on whether it constitutes an addiction, and presents evidence-based therapy that helped participants to cut their viewing by 92 percent.
