Still, no one knows where my name comes from. I changed my mind I'm not going to say where it comes from!

Ive been thinking lately....compairing drugs to s/a. Ive never got drunk or stoned before and had an orgasim. That makes s/a an extreemly addictive and potent drug. IMO and so easily accesable.

You're referring to Monk's Pepper? I started a post about it a few months ago. Monk's Pepper is the bark of a tree that is supposed to inhibit sexual desire. That makes sense that you are on a straight pepper diet and you are posting on no-porn boards. Or, you are referring to the joke about the guy who had an orgasm every time he sneezes, in which case that may be a bit in poor taste.... Anyways, am I right? Do I win the car?  |

Does p*rn damage the brain the same as drugs? Does it have similar neurological effects? I need to know this because I need to realize the consequences I'm facing if I decide to look at p again. I'm beginning to realize that my bottom is being stuck in a cycle where I download tons of pictures and then delete them when I'm done "wanking to the women". I do it over and over again and it's always the same result. It appears that I don't want p in my life but I'm addicted to the rush. I recently learned that a Harvard scientist is studying this with a team of clinical researchers. I'm sure when his research is complete (which may take a couple of years), we'll hear more about it. However, there have already been claims that neuropathways are altered by pornography, which is why it becomes compulsive. I know that after my first year or two of sobriety, I felt like I was responding to certain situations differently than before and felt like I was literally thinking differently - maybe I was learning to use new neuropathways. |

Can anyone list examples of how porn damages the brain from personal experience? For myself, I've noticed when if I see a particular woman in public or on TV and she reminds me of a woman i saw in a p site. I'm hoping now if I can stay away from p that those thoughts will go away.

My biggest success staying away from P to date was 30 days, in which I found myself being much more creative productive and excited about my interests. I also find after a particularly long binge I get these awful images in my head even when I'm not in any way arroused. I've had plenty of nightmares related to P. Oh and on top of that I developed, uhhh, physical intamacy problems while I was married if you catch my drift. The 30 days cured that as well. Gee with all P's wonderful benifits why would I want to stop?  |

That's what I need to do is to achieve 30 days because I've never had it before. Go for it man, I felt great at the end of that month. I dont think we can really know what P does to us until we've spent enough time away from it to notice the changes. For me I did it by offering myself a reward. At the end of the 30 days if I made it I'd buy this silly thing I'd always wanted but never would spend the money on. However when the cash had to go to an unexpected bill that gave me an excuse to go right back to P. I never did buy that thing. Had I been smart I'd have accepted feeling great as a reward and used the gift as motivation for the next 30 or 60. |

What you refer to is really just an example of learning theory in action. If you'll pardon me taking this thread off on yet another one of my obsessive tangents, I think a small problem here is in the potentially differing uses of the term "brain damage"... I think when you and some others in this thread talk about porn use "damaging" the brain what's actually being talked about is porn use leading to what might be referred to as "maladaptive learning." "Brain damage" as people trained in neuroscience typically talk about it is actually very different - it typically refers to actual destruction of neurons in the brain due to chemical toxins, or ischemia, anoxia, physical insult (e.g. concussion, electrical ablation, et cetera), and so on. By the way, yes, if you stay away from porn, the kinds of intrusive thoughts you refer to *do* diminish in frequency and intensity. At least, they have with me. -FB |

My mind feels so much better now that I am moving away from P. I feel lighter and free.
Over time the images from the past fade, if you keep pushing them out.
