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

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.
 
Anyone else know what I mean ? It's as huge sexually exciting rush but then after I just feel board and disappointed and sometimes disgust After what I just looked at and got off too.
“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.
 
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?
 
I've been disgusted for a week now, I don't receive them, I think maybe I did something that brought me back
 
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?

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
