  • Network. That sad truth is pornography has become a wide spread problem. Although some

  • may try to deny it, pornography can alter then brain and become just as addictive as

  • any drug which can lead to harming important family relationships. Here are a few facts

  • and stats to show just how much pornography affects the brain. Our brain can change structure

  • as a result of repeating certain mental experiences.The rush of dopamine experienced by pornography

  • viewers eventually causes the brain to shut down dopamine receptors, fueling further addiction.In

  • addition, excessive pornography use also dulls the brain’s response to sexual stimulation.

  • This causes individuals to seek out more aggressive forms of sex and pornography. All addictions,

  • including pornography addictions, cause the frontal lobes of the brain to shrink. A 2014

  • study found that heavy pornography users had a weaker decision-making brain function.Furthermore,

  • pornography use among teens can drastically alter real-life sexual expectations. Finally,

  • pornography viewers are more likely to condone and participate in acts of sexual violence.

  • If you, or someone you love, is struggling with a pornography addiction there are professionals,

  • like those at Swinton Counseling, who are ready and willing to help you overcome the

  • addiction and move on to a better and healthier life. Once again I’m Elora Murray with the
