A way to get healty dopamine?

I don't know if you exactly "get dopamine." But you do put less stress on down-regulating your dopamine receptors, as happens with any kind of addiction.

Being social triggers dopamine and serotonin, as does exercise.

 

Lift weights heavy and often

 

Exercise. Running or team sports is great.

Going to coffee shops and being around people.

Sex with a women or man

Adult coloring books

Poker

Bike riding

Socializing

Laughter and comedy shows

 

Do anything you like. You can get dopamine when you reach your goals. Healthy ways also include food, lifting weights/gym, running

 

According to Bhagwat Geeta, its important to be nonchalant whether you win or lose... I now understand that what it means is to basically defy the game that dopamine plays on your mind and body

 

You absolutely get dopamine when you PMO- way too much of it. This causes your brain to reduce the amount of dopamine receptors in your brain, which results in normal everyday enjoyments not producing enough dopamine (comparably) to make you feel good. So you feel like crap and don't want to do anything except PMO to get that high again. It's a vicious cyle.

Anything that you find fulfilling can produce dopamine. Exercise, good food, interaction with people, a loving relationship, wokring on a car, fishing, a new business venture, etc. It's all part of "searching and growing" as a person. Remember that PMO will never give you a satisfied feeling because it is artificially induced. These real life experiences can.

Best wishes!

 

Great point Newman. I am free and clear from porn for a few weeks now and it's amazing how many joys are available in one day.

 

Starve for 4 days and then eat.

That's how we evolve to get dopamine.
