    Opinion: We often treat porn as a highly addictive, transformative substance. That's a mistake.http://nyti.ms/2t4wu3c

        The whole idea that porn or gambling are addictive is ridiculous. Heroin is addictive; porn is just porn.

        You know about brain pathways? They all involve reward pathways--very similar mechanisms.

        Hell, you might as well call Oreos addictive because eating them is rewarding. Something like heroin rewires nervous systems.

        Anything you do repetitively rewires your brain pathways. And yes, sugar is addictive.

        It's not always a problem, it's just how that works. I'd recommend googling about dopamine reward pathways.

        Nah. No use. The believer of scientism doesn't care if it makes his life harder. A porn blogger said differently than peer review so 🤷🏼‍♀️

        This isn't an opinion. It activates the same neurons as any addiction. It's addictive and manipulative. Enjoy it, but don't pretend it's

        As I've been saying since 2009 @TEDTalks http://blog.ted.com/cindy_gallop_ma/ … the issue isn't porn, but that we don't talk about sex. @makelovenotporn

        So this article is going to just completely disregard that the porn industry is fed by the sex trafficking industry? Unreal.

        Totally wrong someone that is addicted to alcohol may not find porn addicting or vice-versa but it's addicting/troubling- ask Ted Bundy
