  • This creates a reward-punishment cycle, strengthening neural pathways associated with these behaviors.

Pornography's Distorted Reality

  • Pornography distorts perceptions of sex, focusing on male pleasure and often depicting violence against women.
  • This can lead to unrealistic expectations, shame, and devaluing of women in real-life relationships.
