We used to be able to eat something that would give us a small reward, like a grape. But now we have man-made substances that have about two times the amount of dopamine than natural ones. So instead of having sex with one person one time and getting that dopamine release, we can now watch hours of porn and get a huge dopamine release. Your brain prioritizes these big rewards over the small rewards. That's why your brain craves porn more than that sexual connection with your spouse.
Discover exactly what is going on in your brain when you desire porn. Contrary to what you might believe, wanting to watch porn doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with your brain, and just because you want it now and you’re struggling to control your urges, it doesn’t have to be this way forever.
