I am curious is hardcore porn, of any kind, the same as watching webcams? I have developed an addiction to myfreecams (a website) and am coming to realize that it is the same thing, with the same effects on the brain. So my question is, watching hardcore porn of any kind, like a man and a woman having sex, the same as watching a webcam model masturbating or stripping? Wally
I think it depends on you, but I think you have already recognised that its the affect on you rather than the content. For me it is all used to make me high or feel a buzz. anything that does that has to go from my life. You must make the decision yourself- good luck, well done.
Yes I think it is the same. The idea of cams being broadcast 'live' creates a feeling of novelty and voyeurism so spikes dopamine release, although the cams tend to be softer rather than edited hardcore scenes on porn sites I would conclude they are the same, as you mentioned they have the same effect on the brain. The softer stuff just leads to more hardcore stuff so time is wasted clicking on other cams searching or waiting on cam sites.
