Porn Gives Me A Super Fast Rush But After words I Feel Disgust And Regret

That's the dopamine rush from the orgasm followed by the comedown.

 

Is it possible to become desensitized to dopamine and not feel the dopamine rush anymore if you abuse masturbating to porn for many years?

 

I'm not a neuroscientist but my basic understanding of it is yes, it's possible to become so accustomed to certain stimuli that the potency goes down over time. This is what happens to drug addicts, and PMO addicts too, the former needing larger doses to receive the same high, the latter potentially escalating to more extreme porn genres to become aroused. Thankfully it is absolutely possible to reverse this by abstaining from the stimuli and replacing it with something healthier. I should also say that chemical responses to things are not inherently bad, they are how our brains are designed to work.

 

“Devolution: the transfer or delegation of power to a lower level. The descent to a lower state; pass into ( a different state, esp. a worse one), degenerate.”

 

Gotcha. Yeah, I can get sexually aroused but it really varies and I can no longer feel excitement from my old hobbies.

 

Pls read the book "Your Brain on Porn". Dopamine dysregulation is not a joke - regular porn viewing will eventually make living hell out of your mind. Severe depression, anxiety & other mental disorders follow

 

I’d like to add that this “rush” you feel, as do i, is more than likely adrenaline too. Adrenaline release is involved in sexual arousal. You could look more into this by google “adrenaline sexual arousal pubmed”. It’s why your pulse spikes when you’re watching porn, or hooking up. However, i never really felt his “rush” until i tried to quit.
You can become desensitized to any endocrine molecule or neurotransmitter. Also, during sexual arousal some people release cortisol, which is the stress hormone. We already have enough stress in our lives, we don't need anymore. Especially from a supernormal stimuli.

 

The damage to dopamine is irreversible even in a severe case that has seen several times a day and escalated to extreme things over 12 years?

 

no

 

I have been 8 months without porn sex and masturbation

 

I don't see any change other than weak morning erections I got

 

I've been disgusted for a week now, I don't receive them, I think maybe I did something that brought me back

 

Several times a day -- was it every single day ? and how many hours per day of porn?

 

I didn't watch porn or masturbate

 

I got morning erections but they are gone

 

I don't know why they came back and disappeared again for no reason

 

I have been addicted to pornography and masturbation since I was 7 years old.
I haven't been can desintoxify me this shit even a year, I've only been clean for 3 months (90 days)
I don't want to reveal too much private or sensitive information about my personal life, but could addiction to pornography and masturbation be a way of reliving traumatic childhood experiences?

 

Let's say you get an erection from porn or you can't get it from porn either

 

the issue with this is you just want to fuck women when you do and pretty sure this is why we have so many porn addicts in the first place so you end up escalated permanently lol
