In 2024, the US led the world with over 3 billion visits to Pornhub in January, demonstrating a rise in pornography consumption among Americans. While some regard porn as a safe method for sexual exploration, research reveals risks associated with heavy usage, particularly for brain function and relationships. Studies indicate that frequent viewers may experience less gray matter in areas linked to motivation and decision-making, and excessive consumption can lead to desensitization, ultimately requiring more intense stimuli to achieve satisfaction. This phenomenon disrupts the brain's reward system, leading to increased cravings and impulsivity.
This in turn leads to increased cravings and impulsivity in order to achieve the previous levels of reward in the brain.
For many, pornography can serve as a harmless tool for sexual exploration and education. But for others, it can turn problematic.
