No i don't, however; sexual activity releases far more dopamine than does food
I never said anything about the levels of dopamine release. Obviously nothing else in your body will release more dopamine than sex, but the rewiring is still the same in the sense that you are no longer able to enjoy lower levels of stimuli due to over stimulation.
For example, I remember as a child eating plain bread and butter sandwiches, and I remember that shit tasting good to me lol. I tried to eat that recently after years of not tasting it, it's fucking ass
. That's because I spent years eating things like pastries, pizza, fried foods, desserts (like dairy queen), etc.
I spent years overstimulating my sense of taste, so a lot of things that I thought tasted great in the past, are now "plain" or "bad".
All the plain shit you used to eat in the past as a child is now trash after you developed your palate. That's what I'm talking about when I say "rewiring". That's the same thing that happens with respect to porn and sex. The visual stimulation and physical stimulation you've received from porn will easily exceed that of sex because it's quick instant gratification and geared towards your fetishes.
; and unlike food, there is no limits of consumption.
There is a hard limit on consumption for men, it's called a "refraction period", and also physical soreness lol.
They actually do there is plenty of studies on the implications of food addiction
I literally went in detail and was specific on what I was talking about, and you still (like before) create some unrelated strawman that really has nothing to do with what I said.
Studies existing doesn't mean people "care" in the way I'm talking about. It literally had nothing to do with what I described at all:
1. It's because there's no reason to care about your loss of ability to enjoy inferior stimuli, so long as you have continued access to superior stimuli.
Our high standards for taste that we all have today are only a problem if we have to go back to our plain natural diets.
2. There's also a shame factor that is applied to porn, that isn't applied to food. Nobody shames men for not "hunting" and getting their food "the manly way" / "the natural way", but men are shamed for not "pursuing" women sexually and getting their orgasm "the manly way" / "the natural way".
My point was:
NOBODY IS STARTING A MOVEMENT THAT HUMANS NEED TO RETURN TO PLAIN DIETS AND "STOP EATING GOOD TASTING FOOD" BECAUSE FOOD TODAY IS "TOO STIMULATING" AND AFFECTS OUR ABILITY TO ENJOY REGULAR FOOD".
The logic that is applied to why people should stop watching porn, is never applied to food, and that's because there isn't a culture of shame that revolves around eating food that tastes good, but there definitely is one revolving around porn.
That's just a fact.
Yes really. You clearly don't get the argument being made. That's clear by the way you responded.
Well that pretty much varies on a case-by-case basis. there is no universal answer, thus I can speak only on my own behalf
No it doesn't "vary", what are you even talking about?, are you even reading anything?
All of your responses literally have nothing to do with the core message of anything I'm saying.
I talk about the mechanism of the rewiring and how it's similar, you respond with - "the dopamine response levels are different" (which has nothing to do with my argument)
Now there's this nonsense.
There is no "varying" with the point I'm arguing in that thread. The point is plain common sense.
The ONLY actual negative effect of masturbating to porn is erectile dysfunction. So if you will never have a sex life, there is no reason for you to stop masturbating. All the nonsense of "energy levels" and shit that NoFap retards like to talk about is all PLACEBO, it's not real and it is not rooted in science.
If porn rewires your brain, then the downside is how that rewiring prevents you from engaging in "normal" expressions of sexuality. But for someone who will never have sex, that doesn't make a difference anyways, because they will never experience "normal" expressions of sexuality. So they essentially have no downside.
Unless you can tell me what is the downside for a man who will never have sex you don't have a point.
