Check Your Porn Usage?
Question by Dwefsw Frdrfw: Check your porn usage?
Addiction is a primary disease and can arise regardless of prior disposition towards psychological abnormality. It all has to do with “rewarding behaviors”. Addiction is simply the pathological enactment of rewarding behaviors. It has been found that all forms of addiction are associated with irregularities in the brain’s dopaminergic system. Neurostructural and neurophysiological changes include tolerance to dopamine and loss of sensitivity to it, or “habituation”; the accumulation of DeltaFosB, a protein associated with vivid memory and thus responsible for “sensitization” toward actions or locations contextually linked to the addictive behavior or substance; “hypofrontality”, including deterioration of impulse control and consequence visualization; and so on.
