Effects of pornography on the brain.

Porn and the Brain

By MFONOBONG EYOPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

The internet has the power to connect people from all over the world and provide information on a wide range of topics, including pornography. The impact of pornography on people's brains, attitudes, and behaviors is complex and not fully understood. While some studies have identified potential risks and even some benefits of watching pornography, it's important to note that much of the research is correlational and relies on self-reported data. For example, some studies have suggested that frequent pornography use may be associated with differences in brain activity, particularly in the striatum, a region involved in reward processing and sexual arousal. However, the findings are not conclusive and may not apply to everyone.
