Porn Change Your Brain?

After I spent the day indulging myself with a little bit of Wow Porn, I decided that I was going to search the Internet for the latest news. What I found initially horrified me. A study that said that watching hardcore porn might alter the structure of the brain. So I decided to find out more.

The study basically said that watching hardcore porn might lead to changes in the parts of the brain associated with rewards and motivation. It claimed that porn consumption has been associated with male’s decrease in response to sexual stimuli and decision making ability. At first this kind of shocked me because I do spend a lot of time checking out sites like Wow Porn. Then I decided to dig a little bit deeper and come up with my own conclusions.

The study studied 64 European mean and studied their brain while they analyzed their brain structure. They then calculated the results. They found that guys who just watched porn had worse decision making abilities than before they watched the porn. Therefore, they concluded that watching porn stunted the sexual reward centers of the brain. In other words, guys who watched porn were less likely to seek sexual behavior that isn’t porn related and two, it damaged their decision making ability.

However, as compelling as this study may seem, at least at first glance, I have a few problems with it. One, this study was only on 64 Europeans males. That’s it. Not exactly a large sample size. Two, there wasn’t a control group in the study. Meaning there was no way for the study to determine if porn actually caused these effects or there was some other factors in force here. And three, everything you do in the world changes your brain. Whether you are reading poetry, listening to music or watching the hot babes fucking on Hustler HD, you are making changes to your brain structure.

The human brain is not an organ that is in a state of stasis. It is constantly changing according to the experiences and stimuli it is fed. It’s supposed to do that. That is why when you perform a task over and over again, you begin to get better at it. Because your brain is evolving and improving certain connections all the time. Without this feature of our brains we would never be able to learn a new skill.

And another thing, from the moment you wake up your decision making ability is getting worse. With every decision you make the brain loses a little bit of its cognitive decision making ability. That is why you should make important decisions in the morning and not leave them until your brain is “tired”.

Which brings me to my point. This study really doesn’t prove anything. It’s not a large sample size and it doesn’t really prove that watching Girls And Studs fucking is harmful. And what it does proves about cognitive decision making has been proving better in other studies. In other words, I wouldn’t worry too much about these results. If watching porn caused brain damage, then I would be drooling into my cup of coffee right now.
