Why is porn being allowed on Steemit?
Does it really need to be on here? So I am browsing the feeds looking at the tags and topics and what do I come across? Sex, porn! For the love of all that is holy can we not escape it?
People really don't understand the damage porn does to your brain.
Watching porn is a escalating behavior.
Frequent porn use tends to escalate. Because of porn’s addictive nature, viewers usually need an ever-increasing dosage over time in order to feel the same level of enjoyment, and they often have to seek out more extreme and hard-core forms of porn. Users can reach a point where they enjoy porn less and less, but want it more and more.
Porn Affects Your Sexual Tastes.
Many porn users find themselves getting aroused by things that used to disgust them or that go against what they think is morally right. As they watch more extreme and dangerous sex acts, these porn users gradually come to feel that those behaviors are more common and acceptable than they really are.
Porn Can Become Addictive.
A lot of people are convinced that there’s no such thing as porn addiction. But science has disproven the old belief that for something to be an addiction it has to involve a substance physically put into your body, like cigarettes, alcohol, or drugs. Excessive Internet porn bears all the signs, and dangers, of a true addiction.
Porn Changes The Brain.
Repeated viewing of porn causes your brain to literally rewire itself. It triggers your brain to pump out chemicals and form new nerve pathways, leading to profound and lasting changes in your brain.
Porn Affects The Brain Like A Drug.
It may sound crazy, but porn affects the brain in ways very similar to harmful substances like tobacco. Studies have shown that porn stimulates the same areas of the brain as addictive drugs, making the brain release the same chemicals. And just like drugs, porn triggers pathways in the brain that cause craving, leading users back for more and more extreme “hits” to get high.
