Behavioral addictions are stigmatized because
0:02
they feel like more of a
0:04
choice because there's no
0:07
substance changing your brain. However,
0:09
process addictions or behavioral addictions
0:12
like porn do actually
0:14
change the brain in similar ways.
0:17
In this episode, I'll explain why
0:19
porn is so addicting, brain
0:21
changes that happen from porn,
0:23
and how porn influences us
0:26
to objectify women and see
0:28
them as sex objects. Porn
0:31
has another layer of addictiveness
0:33
beyond brain changes. It causes
0:35
novelty seeking. This
0:38
destroys relationships and I will
0:40
explain more about why porn
0:42
promotes novelty seeking, being unable
0:44
to enjoy regular sex, and
0:47
warning signs to look out for that you
0:49
or a loved one are addicted to porn.
0:51

3:46
I'm your host Jill and
3:48
I want to start this
3:50
episode with so many disclaimers.
3:54
I have watched porn but
3:56
I have never struggled with
3:58
porn addiction. So I'm... I'm
4:00
approaching this episode with
4:02
more curiosity then personal
4:04
experience. Some of you have brothers
4:06
top. Add up to me more and more
4:09
lately so I wanted to learn more about
4:11
it. I will recommend some resources on the
4:13
show notes that you can check out to.
4:16
And I know that porn is a
4:18
very triggering topic for those who have
4:20
personal experience. so if you are triggered
4:22
by the topic then you may wanna
4:25
come back to set the sold at
4:27
another time. Last disclaimer: if you listen
4:29
to my show than you know I'm
4:32
very direct and I'm just going to
4:34
say all the words that are associated
4:36
with this topic. So it's all of
4:39
those sexual type of words. Make.
4:41
You feel uncomfortable Them please skip
4:43
this one. To. The first thing
4:45
that stood out to me about
4:47
porn addiction is what researchers call.
4:50
The triple A influence.
4:52
Meaning: accessibility, affordability,
4:55
and anonymity. You.
4:57
Can much porn for free
5:00
by yourself in your house.
5:02
Alcohol and drugs are expenses
5:04
and gambling is very expensive
5:06
behavioral. Addictions result in a
5:09
very similar problematic cycle. And
5:11
period control which involves creating
5:14
and unsuccessful attempt to reduce
5:16
or stop and behavior giving
5:18
up activities that you used
5:20
to enjoy and neglecting other
5:22
areas of your life and
5:24
risky use which involves persisting
5:26
with the behavior. even though you
5:28
know it's harmful for Yale. Eventually
5:30
porn dominates your life.
5:32
And you hate it. But. You. Can't stop
5:35
doing it. In my opinion, the
5:37
number one sign. Struggling
5:39
with anything is attempting to
5:41
cut their first dance and
5:43
been unable to saw get.
5:45
Some were signs of porn addiction
5:48
later. Compulsive. Sexual behavior
5:50
is thought to affect. About.
5:53
Three to six percent
5:55
of the population and
5:57
it involves excessive masturbation
5:59
cyber. Strip
6:03
club results are lots of
6:05
sex with consenting adults, the
6:08
ease of access with the
6:10
internet as coast or rise
6:12
and behavioral addiction because you
6:14
can easily shop, gamble, bounce
6:16
board, engage in fibers, box
6:18
and watch porn one every
6:21
once in a D C
6:23
tool for I discussed things
6:25
that make up for developing
6:27
an addiction: an opportunity for
6:29
what is normalized on your.
6:31
Circle for Bitcoins. Another.
6:34
Factor to as privacy we love
6:36
to isolate when were addicted to
6:39
something. And behavioral addictions
6:41
provide a lot of privacy.
6:43
Behavioral and actions are difficult
6:46
in a similar away as
6:48
alcohol is because it's interface
6:50
all the time. Sexuality portal,
6:53
gambling, sports betting and alcohol
6:55
are all around interface. Sometimes
6:58
on Instagram I even have
7:00
fake sex pages. Liking my
7:02
story is to try to
7:05
get my attention. To.
7:07
That I go to their page
7:09
and to whatever Benoit is. And
7:11
one tactic of only fans pages
7:13
is to be present on dating
7:15
apps to funnel people to their
7:17
only fans. A cure for you
7:19
don't have to be directly searching
7:21
for other stuff and I can
7:23
imagine that that's very triggering for
7:25
people that are trying to be
7:27
silver from porn. Porn. Use
7:29
for young man can impact
7:31
sexual development especially if they
7:34
start. Watching porn before they have
7:36
had sex for the first time. And
7:38
Li Lu sexual desire
7:41
regularly. Watching porn and
7:43
electoral defeat, she escaped
7:45
genetically and young men
7:47
recently interviewed for a
7:49
couple. Decades ago, a two
7:51
thousand and seventeen study surveyed
7:53
twenty thousand people and phone.
7:56
At one point Two percent
7:58
of lemon consider themselves. The
8:00
Be Addicted to Porn and Four Point
8:02
Four. Percent of men that. Studies.
8:05
Have found similar results for sex addiction
8:07
as well. And according to a
8:09
few steady for doctor her. Problem
8:11
of harmful behavior or poor
8:14
nice have evolved all along.
8:16
Philo. To. The
8:19
locals who could not
8:21
use negative emotions are.
8:23
Prone to sexual board
8:25
and novelty. Seeking. Based.
8:28
On what I've learned about
8:30
porn for this episode: Novelty
8:32
Seeking. Seems to be the most
8:34
destructive part of this and or speak.
8:37
On that more later in this episode.
8:39
The consequences of porn
8:41
addiction for both men
8:43
and women include sexual
8:45
satisfaction. And dysfunction been
8:47
there are critical of your
8:50
own body and your partner's
8:52
booty. Increase Performing Cvd. My
8:55
shoes. She. Indeed,
8:57
And people. In
9:01
Haiti and depression. Problematic.
9:05
Alcohol use, drinking too much
9:07
coffee, and problematic video game
9:09
years. Although Korea is not
9:11
a substance at an Accent
9:14
Brain's reward system in similar
9:16
ways as alcohol and drug.
9:18
Still, like I explained in
9:21
episode one, seventy alcohol releases
9:23
way more Dell plane than
9:25
any natural reward does, And
9:28
porn is the same. You
9:30
can get a huge Delta
9:32
mean head very quickly. And
9:35
efficiently repeated over and over
9:37
a reward system. Gets
9:41
desensitized to regular stuff and
9:43
only big hits of guilt mean
9:45
register for you is. May. Fly
9:47
feel very dull and worthless when
9:49
we stop the behavior or the
9:52
substance. Plus, there's only so much
9:54
alcohol that we can drink before
9:56
we throw off, pass out, or
9:59
have to. In a hospital
10:01
for alcohol poisoning. Watching. Porn
10:03
doesn't have the same limits, so
10:05
you can keep maintaining that high
10:07
for a very long time. You
10:09
may be thinking, well, there's only
10:11
so many times that you can
10:13
have an orgasm from porn. and
10:16
sure, That's. True but people
10:18
can edge where they masturbate
10:20
with out climax a for
10:22
many. Hours so they
10:25
can extend that initial. Good
10:27
part. From. Really long
10:29
time. It's important to
10:31
remember that Go for Mean
10:33
isn't about pleasure even though
10:35
it gets labeled as a
10:37
pleasure molecule. Total Mean is
10:40
about motivation seeking, behavior and
10:42
anticipation of a reward It
10:44
keeps us have because it
10:46
keeps signaling us that this
10:48
behavior is associated with the
10:50
most critical reward of our
10:52
lives and because don't mean
10:54
as involved in the anticipation
10:56
of a reward. Why would
10:59
you stop doing the behavior.
11:01
If you know a reward is coming
11:03
soon, you can think of it like
11:05
scrolling a real or tic toc and
11:07
you've wasted twenty or thirty minutes scrolling
11:09
bad ones, but you keep thinking just
11:11
a couple more and then I'll get
11:13
a really good one. And that
11:15
anticipation keeps you scrolling. Twenty.
11:18
Or thirty minutes more of bad.
11:20
Reels. Studies. Have found
11:23
that there are clear differences
11:25
in brain activity is between
11:27
people who have compulsive sexual
11:29
behaviors vs. controls and their
11:31
brains are similar to people
11:33
that are addicted to drugs
11:35
and alcohol. Just like I
11:37
said, Reboot
11:40
Do believe Healthy countries
11:42
Murray. People
11:45
with. Experience
11:48
Want to. When they're
11:50
shown sexual images, healthy controls
11:52
have a general sexual desire.
11:55
People with addiction have a
11:57
desire for that very specific.
12:00
You. Can they also have
12:02
a diminished desire for sex with
12:05
a partner, but not for masturbation
12:07
to porn? And. As always,
12:09
I'll put the recommended episodes in the
12:11
show notes for you know, don't the
12:13
mean in the brain makes us feel
12:16
terrible? And it She. So
12:18
we seek external things to fix
12:20
the problem quickly. I discuss this
12:22
episode with the men's only group
12:24
in my community. They get similar.
12:26
Opinions so that I do. Too
12:28
many blind spots with the. Sushi.
12:32
Only. One. of my neighbors
12:34
shirt. Something really life he
12:36
said. Hypothetically,
12:39
When you eat a good meal, you get.
12:41
Ten hits a Doberman and
12:43
then your brain will compensate
12:45
with. A. Negative can and you really
12:47
notice if you drink alcohol you get
12:50
five hundred. Has a dope lean so
12:52
then the brain compensates with a negative
12:54
five hundred. when you wake up some
12:56
over and miserable you can have a
12:59
breakfast beer to get a hundred hits
13:01
a Doberman back. But most of
13:03
us are resistant to drinking before. Work because
13:05
we know that's a whole nother
13:07
level of problem drinking. Or you
13:09
could watch them quit porn and
13:11
get five hundred has a dope
13:13
the mean and bowl about your
13:16
day with that temporary brain chemistry
13:18
boost. Sure, you'll have a come
13:20
down, but then you can just
13:22
drink after work to get a
13:24
boost again. Behavioral addictions and alcohol
13:26
go together really well because of
13:28
this example, but also because the
13:30
change in mental state from alcohol
13:32
or from other drugs makes it
13:34
easier to excuse. The Behaviors: Happy
13:36
people with good coping skills.
13:39
Don't usually watch for marathons so
13:41
it's not a stretch to. Think
13:43
that they would also use alcohol
13:45
or drugs to cope. And by
13:47
the way, this is a hypothetical
13:49
example. Normally was natural rewards. there's
13:51
a slow calm down, not a
13:54
compensation. But that's not really the
13:56
point where we know that doping
13:58
me an answer. survive. The in
14:00
a promote seeking behavior is to help
14:02
us stay alive and. Continue the
14:05
species. Opo is not
14:07
essential for survival. But it
14:09
tricks the brain that it is because of.
14:11
The amounted to open mean
14:13
it releases. Sex is essential
14:15
for our survival. Thou shall
14:17
saxon porn addiction, take advantage.
14:20
Of something that is truly essential.
14:22
For our survival and then make
14:24
it weird. That's not a scientific
14:27
term, but I think it's an
14:29
important distinction between substance addiction and
14:31
porn. People. To
14:37
cues. Agency
14:39
is one of my favorite
14:42
Age difference beer procedure. Explain
14:44
it in the show Notes: A
14:46
Pulse Nobody else is the tendency
14:48
for our attention and focus to
14:51
get stuck on addictive cues and
14:53
not be able to read director
14:55
attention. It's like when you go
14:57
somewhere and you can immediately find
14:59
all the alcohol in the room
15:01
or how you know exactly how
15:03
many drinks everyone has had and.
15:06
Mr. Smoother drinking. If. You
15:08
keep your attention off a que. Fazer
15:11
for the queue to. Make you
15:13
removed because cues release dope a
15:15
mean that lead to seeking. Behavior:
15:17
Ak cravings so if your
15:20
attention is continuously focused
15:22
on the queue. More.
15:24
And more and more adult leaders being. Released
15:27
in anticipation of reward.
15:29
People. A Saxon porn addiction
15:31
all cel experience attentional by
15:33
us when you're addicted to
15:35
alcohol. You. Just drink a
15:38
bunch of alcohol and that's it.
15:40
Is just alcohol. But when you're
15:43
addicted to porn, your brain gets
15:45
desensitized to these sexual cues after
15:47
repeated exposure, meaning your reward system
15:50
develops a tolerance and you release
15:52
less Del Blaine. Now.
15:55
You have to start chasing novelty to
15:57
get the hit. Some dope. I'm in
15:59
the. You need. To not
16:01
field goal and worth flesh was
16:04
poor and there's so much novelty
16:06
and excitement and this leads to
16:08
choosing this behavior over real sex
16:11
with a partner. When. You're
16:13
with someone for a while. There is no
16:15
more normal. Married. Couple
16:17
of can get stuck in the
16:19
same boring husband and wife said
16:21
routine which can cause a lack
16:24
of interest in sex for someone
16:26
who was addicted to novelty plus
16:28
poor can even involved. Things that
16:30
are real or sexual. Fantasies
16:32
that are not safe,
16:35
just reinforcing. The need for
16:37
novelty and as can keep people
16:39
searching on the internet for new. And
16:41
more Exciting and often weird
16:43
or things for hours and
16:46
hours. It's. Really important to
16:48
know to the women in porn
16:50
are. Paid actresses and
16:52
they're pretending. To like
16:54
a lot to keep you have.
16:57
It's hard for us to have
16:59
empathy for people with behavioral addictions
17:01
when we don't understand. We know
17:04
that alcohol and drugs changed the.
17:06
Brain and or mental state so
17:08
we can kind of makes sense
17:10
of it. But behavioral addiction. Feel
17:12
like they're more of a choice and
17:14
a moral failing? People. Who
17:16
struggle a Saxon poor and have changes
17:18
in the brain just like. Drinkers and
17:21
drug users do. They have
17:23
a decrease in productivity between
17:26
the prefrontal cortex with you

17:38
involved in the anticipation. Of Award.
17:40
This is something that I explain
17:42
a my Anger Management class to.
17:45
The prefrontal cortex is designed
17:47
to put the brakes an
17:49
automatic self destructive behaviors, but
17:51
when the prefrontal cortex is
17:53
connected well to the rest
17:55
of the brain, a can't
17:57
send that message anymore. And.
17:59
The. The
18:02
brain just does what it wants to fight.
18:04
For good intentions World's people
