    Hi,

    Does porn cause deppression ? Why ? Is it because of too much dopamine or soe other chemical hormones in the brain, something that is unnatural ? So unnaturall brain activities that eventually leads to depression ?

    I don't know for sure, but quitting PMO for a while has opened my eyes to what I've missed all my life because of it and how it's too late for me to experience them to their fullest.
    I am 20 and I haven't even had a first kiss, I will never be able to relive my 10s to the fullest, or have one of those high school relationships that last even past college and I will be alone for a long time of my life still.
    This realization of course has me feeling down. I'm just another victim of this terrible drug, and I can only wish I've realized sooner.
    I have lost my 10s, but this fuels me to fight to not lose also my 20s. It's a hard fight this one, the stakes are the highest. Our futures.

    You are still very young at 20 year age, yes sucks to be pmo in your 10s year age. Many males start relationship late in their past 25 years, because focus is on college and finding good job.

    We are all different, but I think it is nutrient deficiency for me - probably due to some genetic defect that inhibits my body from metabolizing some important nutrient.

    After ejaculation the prostate exponentially increases demand for lots of different nutrients, and many of these nutrients are also needed by the brain.

    Taking about 5000 IU of vitamin D with K2 daily helps my mood considerably. Also, I have found that orange juice mixed with glutamine is pretty helpful immediately after ejaculation. I drink almost an entire quart sometimes.

    These are only ideas I have been trying lately and may not make a difference for you.

    Basically the huge flood of dopamine that porn causes makes the reward system numbed. The brain "shuts down" the dopamine receptors in order to defend itself from this. This causes that the normal stimuli of life doesn't get interesting anymore, and that could lead to depression. I don't think it's a matter of cause and effect, but you are way more likely to get depressed.
