What is porn dependence and how to overcome it?.
The dependence on pornographic video is growing everywhere – pornzavisality. Increasingly, people openly declare that this hobby interferes with their normal life, and, as a rule, unsuccessfully try to get rid of this vice. Doctors equate this addiction to drug addiction, and not just like that. So why does the body require a new portion of adults, and how can you become free from pornography?
Causes and prevalence of porn dependence
Addition is formed due to the production of the hormone, which is responsible for pleasure and pleasure-dopamine. To develop a neurotransmitter responsible for us to be satisfied with our life and more often arrive in a good mood, we can resort to different actions: including watching adults.
Of course, if you often stimulate the production of dopamine with viewing porn rollers, this will cause destabilization of brain activity. Attachment is formed, exactly the same as with alcoholism or drug addiction.
With excessive enthusiasm, in order for the body to develop the previous number of pleasure neurotransmitter, a constant increase in the “dosage” is necessary. “Settlers” begin to look for new genres, more and more perverted video sex options and tougher videos, watching them more and more often.
In critical cases, this “hobby” rivets the main part of life. Days and nights on specialized sites, paid premium subscriptions, the desire to watch videos in absolutely inappropriate and public places ..
As a rule, young men aged 17-25 years suffer from this traction: every sixth watch videos at least twice a day. But also, it can occur in elderly men, adolescents and women, of course, they are no exception.
According to approximate estimates, 102 million people around the world spend more than 3 hours on xxx rollers every month:
- A third of this amount is women;
- Every ninth adult working person says that he is dependent on porn;
- 65% watch films alone and keep it in the strictest secret;
- 45% dream of quitting or at least reduce the number of sex videos they view.
Although doctors have not yet attributed a craving for 18+ videos to pathologies, they attribute it to the spectrum of manifestations of compulsive behavior, separately highlighting the “problematic viewing of Internet pornography”.
The harm of the abuse of pornography
Everything is good in moderation, so periodic views of films for adults will not harm you. But not everyone knows this measure.
Among all many types of sexual dependence, xxx-adicia is considered the most common. Like most types of painful affection, this becomes a big problem and negatively affects the usual lifestyle of human life.
According to experts, the bulk of dependent persons experience significant difficulties in social life. This is a consequence of the desire to self -amplifying to preserve the lifestyle, which fuels a pathological enthusiasm.
Below are the main behavioral features of the already formed unhealthy dependence and harm from porn:
- Desocialization is a complete or partial refusal to take part in any social events, from invitations of relatives and friends in favor of occupying loved ones. The search for excuses and reasons in the desire to evade any form of social communication/interaction is also characteristic, and if you still had to be distracted, then the search for reasons in order to be at home in the shortest possible time and proceed with the desired case.
- The desire to preserve their addictions in the strictest confidence-for many people it is absolutely natural to keep their sexual inclinations and fantasies secret, however, if it concerns people in porn kabala, this desire takes the form of an obsessive idea. They resort to extraordinary measures in order to hide from all other persons pathologically frequent views of 18+ videos.
- Loss of a sense of time – monitoring of thematic sites often takes several hours in a row, however, the dependent do not feel it at all. According to their own numerous confessions, an unhealthy enthusiasm is all -consuming and all -destructive, in which the arguments of reason and the feeling of time are lost. This is comparable to alcohol clouding of consciousness, after which the next morning it is not possible to remember anything possible.
- The harmful effects on sexual life – the result of viewing video products C18+ on an ongoing basis, develops the loss of the ability to respond to any sexual irritants. Sexopathologists believe that porn-dependence negatively affects libido reducing it and, as a result, there is a decrease in overall activity. Too frequent masturbation nullify the relationship with the sexual partner, in particular their romantic component – preludes, erotica of relations, sensual intimacy.
- Extrapolation of the contents of piquant films on your own personal life-the desire from the sex partner of absolute similarity with your beloved star, the desire to repeat the most exciting scenes from films in their life, anger and irritation in connection with the discrepancy between the partner’s qualities of the heroes of the beloved genre.
Is there any benefit from porn?
Despite all the possible pernicious influence of “video for adults” on a person’s life, we still want to note that this hobby has a plus:
- We can use it as a manual. Yes, of course, not every porn clan is suitable in order to try to realize all the scenes and/or images from what they saw, but some part, or perhaps some “techniques” can be seen. And of course, the theory without practice is nothing.
- Excitation. Watching a video of intimate detention with your sexual partner, you can rekindle a new fire of passion in your relationship.
- The embodiment of desires. Looking through porn films, people most often project themselves into the place of the main characters, thereby experiencing everything that happens on the screens with them. This immersion gives the feeling that your desire is satisfied.
- Some inclinations may appear: as with the previous paragraph, the moment of trying on the image of the protagonist on himself works. Who knows what sensations can come to your taste?
- Thirst. It’s no secret that every person has an animal instinct that chooses us to look for a partner of the opposite sex to extend the genus. Also, people are able to experience a desire to get sexual pleasure, and the extension of the human race has nothing to do with. It is with this thirst that it helps to fight a pornographic video. In the absence of sex for a long time, sexologists strongly recommend resorting to this procedure.
