Does porn make you dumber and more immature?

I realized something about porn. Whenever I relapse to porn, my brain is much slower than if I wasn’t watching porn. I feel 10x dumber when I watch porn than if I don’t watch porn. What’s also interesting is that if I binge on porn, I find myself laughing at inappropriate situations.

Whenever I order something related to meat, especially when I binge porn, I can’t stop laughing at myself. In fact, I made a female uncomfortable with my laughing. My laughing isn’t loud but somewhat noticeable to people.

Whereas I stop watching porn, I get emotionally about the topic of sex, and my humor is much more mature.

 

I think what your experiencing is brain fog. Same thing happens to me when I’m playing too many video games or doing drugs. All the artificial dopamine is getting to my brain and it affects how I process information.

I recommend you stay away from anything that causes artificial dopamine. Get your dopamine from natural means. For example: exercise, super socializing, and hobbies that make you stay away from a digital screen.

I don’t recommend a total technology detox because of the world we live in today. But take steps and make time for less technology in your life.

 

I've noticed this myself, at least allot more often then usual. But it may just mean you have a sense of humor. Which woman should


love! If you laugh when your out with a Woman it may just mean your honestly having a good time. If she's felt uncomfortable by it, then she might be a little bothered perhaps.

I think your in a brain fog. I feel the same way and it does do something to the brain. It's like you've watched something unrealistic your brain doesn't know how to comprehend it. When I do "it" I'm usually allot more tired, lack of motivation, energy, push to exercise.

 

It's brain fog, focusing too much on overstimulating things. Better cognitive performance, or just the ability to think clearer, is a definite good side to abstaining.

 

Personally I say yes, absolutely. Not just porn but masturbation in general.
And I agree about the brain fog. I was always fogged out when I was much younger. Makes me wonder how I would have done in school if I'd done it differently.

 

I also felt that way, I was angry with myself, and I couldn't study anything, because it's so slow.
