Episode notes
Your reward system is your brain giving yourself dopamine when you do things that are meant to keep you alive. When we ate food, our brains would give off dopamine pleasure and that taught us to seek nourishment so we didn't die. In the 21st century, all of these new things like porn gives off very concentrated doses of dopamine. Your brain thinks that pornography is like extra important because it's giving it way more dopamine. This is what creates over desire. Just because you have the over desire right now doesn't mean I'm stuck with this forever. We can train ourselves not to want it.
