Sex and nicotine are mislabeled on the comparison chart.

On a scale where tobacco is 2, eating a burger is 1.5, and cocaine is 4, sex is 2. Meth is 11.

That's an interesting hypothesis, but not a very well-supported conclusion.

I notice that the food, sex, etc. data was taken from animals but it doesn't say where the porn data came from. Did they show porn to cats?

More importantly, wtf does this have to do with people? This is not very scientific.

As much as I feel I'm addicted to porn, I have never once preferred porn to actual sex.

Would be curious to see a similar graph for caffeine/coffee.

You see the amphetamine chart? Just multiply that by 10, or at least that's how it feels in the morning.

I dunno, if food does, caffeine probably *effectively* raises dopamine levels.

Me and my adderall prescription will be vaping and watching porn elsewhere. Good day sir.

I think that more often than not, people watch porn to substitute it for intimacy. We're mammals, we like to fuck.

can confirm. I had a huge problem with porn addiction. it's under control now, last relapse was 4 years ago.

True, I hate fucking my gf. I would much rather watch the pornography of womens.

For what it's worth this is speculation- there are peer reviewed blind studies that disagree with this

9 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 1

I don't agree. If my wife wanted to have sex as often as I wanted, I wouldn't watch any porn. That is marriage. Constant compromise.

A lot of guys aren't like this. I fuck my boyfriend CONSTANTLY and I'm hot and he still sneaks around with porn. Like i dont know about it.

Yeah. I guess it's not necessarily about how much sex you two have. Masturbation, at least for men is in a different category from sex. 1/2

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

2/2 For a man masturbation can never live up to the real thing.

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Then why not just have sex with me instead? I tell him to wake me up in the middle of the night if he wants. And during the day I'm

Actually surprised he's able to do anything else because of how much we do things together.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Yeah. All guys are different. Maybe porn is sort of an addiction for him. We usually start watching out on we're teenagers and it's 1/2.

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

2/2 hard to give up because we've been used to having it for so long.

So, porn addiction is a real thing. Excessive amounts to where it desensitizes and the interference with daily life is the problem.

9 years ago | Likes 9 Dislikes 1

Yep, it is real. Doesn't mean this scare tactics is right, or the shilling for the "specialist" it comes from is any less a scam

9 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 1

Don't think it's a scare tactic. It's a simple, watered down version of what occurs in the brain of an addict. If u felt it was a scam, ok.

Sending serious addicts to an unlicensed and seemingly uneducated therapist is not helpful. The graphs are distorted as well

Its a site for addicts who want help. Anyone looking it up was looking it up because they feel it is or is becoming a problem.

You’re absolutely correct! Now look at low sex drives and rates of birth in porn crazed Japan, Italy, Germany... etc!

What is this 'porn' dosage? Just masturbating? Constant exposure? I don't believe that causes the dopamine dump this seems to claim.
