Lust Causes Schizoprenia

Discussion in 'Compulsive Sexual Behavior' started by EffortlessGoalGetter, Sep 29, 2020.

  1. So there are a whole lot of issues with pornography.
    In my own life experience, I was born into the first generation of internet pornography, the most extreme sexual preference were at my finger tips at the age of 12. I had a computer in my room. I had a powerful mind and I would gravitate to porn of well endowed men having sex with women. Redheads, brunetts blondes latino, asian, black arab women, dirty blonde women. Looking for more and more well endowed men, more and more sexier women. I had a powerful mind, and I learned to stimulate arousal with just imagining porn in my mind. It was very entertaining. Then I learned to entertain myself in other ways, think of funny thoughts, imagine anxieties. I would laugh to myself, I would become withdrawn and I would become paranoid. There's a word for this. Schizophrenia. All have their roots in pornography and sexual stimulation.
    There are so many issues that Schizophrenia would cause. In my mind I'd be like the six million dollar man, imagineering myself to be the perfect man, the perfect abs, the perfect weiner, be seven foot tall, super strong. And when I'd open my eyes from this imagination, I wouldn't feel so good about myself. I'd think of wanting to kill myself to be the me I imagined me to be in my lustful fantasies. I'd be able to entertain myself more easily. By entertaining myself in a sexual way, I could entertain myself in other ways. Go on an imaginary thrill ride, have a bout of self induced laughter. It's all insanity! Might feel good, but it's like a drug addiction.
    And there was another thing. Like I couldn't look a seven foot tall black man in the eyes after one of my porn sessions, and I'd feel conflicted as to why. Thought that porn was normal. Turns out it's not. Porn makes people more racist. It made me racist. Whether I'd look at a black guy or a white guy or a hispanic guy. I'd be sexual comparing them to myself, like I had some extrapolated record of weiner sizes and I know where I stood in the lusting eyes of women. Like some calculation of a sexual perversion robot that I did.

  2. And also, I'd go to the store and I'd feel insecure about myself. Like have a cold sweat, and I'd not want to look anyone in the eyes, and I'd feel like I was going to lose it, mentally and emotionally. And with abstinence that's all gone away. I can even drink lots of coffee and there's not an issue.

    Well considering schizophrenia has a lot to do with dopamine, I think you are on to something....

    He means lust and PMO can trigger it. Please correct me if I got it wrong.
    And it is interesting considering it is one of the main theories behind it, the dopaminergic pathogenesis of schizophrenia.

    Interesting thoughts. I'm not as educated on schizophrenia as I should be (considering my brother had been diagnosed with it). To me it seems reasonable to say lust can be at the very least one factor leading to schizophrenia. Perhaps it's the dopamine high. Perhaps it's the rejection of reality and the attempted acceptance of the fantasy brought on by lust. Anything I say is just speculation or fantasy which may or may not be in line with reality.

    Is it Schizophrenia that’s altering with the fundamental way one thinks,
    Or
    Is it one’s mentality, perception that has been deeply bombarded by Obsession with Sexuality that alters Perception for Long Periods of Time, producing an Effect which apparently hints at Schizophrenia?

    Unless of course, Obsession taken further i.e. OCD itself is related to The fundamental Thought Process and Relating the Knowledge of the world.

    Or
    I’m talking Bullshit out of having 0 Knowledge about these things.


    You could see Robert Sapolsky’s Lectures on Schizophrenia on You—tube. They will perhaps give you an Insider Understanding.

    My uncle had schizophrenia, and my father was a bit worried back on the day about my many addictions and this, because he pointed to me many times that his brother was "a normal brilliant young man" until he got very very deep into drug abuse and stressful environments, the interesting thing is that is not well known what triggers it, there is a couple of well grounded theories but seems to be a multifactorial ecuation, is after all the old question, does the chemistry of our brain determine your behaviour, or is you mentality and behaviroural habits the ones producing the issues in your brain chemistry? In my opinion as far as I know, they are basically two sides of the same coin, two different perspectives to look at it.

    There is one factual thing regarding schizophrenic patients anyways, either they have hyperactivity or hypoactivity of receptors related to dopamine, and those changes can be produced by changing dopamine levels, therefore drug abuse, heavy dopaminergic adicctions overtime, theoretically could trigger it, but still this is just one factor of many.

    It is negative symptoms coupled with positive ones so there are elements of withdrawal as well it's not just the psychosis or break from reality there is also the withdrawal element not saying anybody is incorrect just bringing this to light.

    Well as far as I know high dopamine levels are the causes of Schizophrenia, so excessive PMO is also related to high dopamine levels.
    So maybe PMO can cause Psychosis/Schizophrenia…

    Interesting. I can certainly see how fantasizing about your own power could become a kind of escapist porn in and of itself. Eventually the dichotomy between the fantasy and your own reality could possibly lead a person to have some serious schizophrenic type symptoms.

    I hope you get healthier mate. And I'm sorry you had those terrible and confusing experiences as a kid. Have you taken steps to work through that history?

    Well having delusions is one the symptoms of schizophrenia, but it doesn't mean you are schizophrenic. Have you been diagnosed by a doctor or is it self diagnosis?

    Either way, the doctors kinda prescribe the same medication for both porn addiction and schizophrenia but in different doses but you shouldn't think you have one....
     
  13. I don't think I have schizophrenia if how if it's not caused by lust. I have like a lusting disorder. I stop lusting I do just fine. I've gotten off all my medications, but I quit cigarretes at the same time. Couldn't sleep due to nicotine withdrawal, and lying in bed tossing in turning, I recently had a relapse. My thoughts were pretty perverse, I was thinking of some hot woman lusting after me, masturbating in her bed like I was, like I could control the reality by what I think about. My fantasy was, If I think this particular woman is lusting after me right now, then she is, I felt strongly that was the case, and I lusted for like 8 hours night before last. I got up the next day, everything was a haze, I could feel my spiritual power was weak, my attention span was short, all I wanted to do was penis enlargement exercises. I must have lusted after 6 different women in one long session. When I went to church the next day, thoughts about my penis size crept up into my thoughts throughout the service. I felt uncomfortable, I was worried about my dick getting hard. I started smoking again last night, slept well, felt better, mowed the lawn. Nicotine withdrawal is rough for me, I'll have to chew the gum for my health.
