ANECDOTE

Early Porn Habits as Stress Relief

  • Many men develop specific porn-watching routines from a young age, often between 8 and 11 years old.
  • Porn becomes a tool to regulate stress and anxiety during turbulent personal transitions.
INSIGHT

Dopamine and Prolactin's Role

  • Porn triggers dopamine release, which the brain rewards as if the experience were real.
  • After climax, prolactin floods the body, reducing testosterone and inducing relaxation, making the body crave this reset.
ADVICE

Close Porn Tabs, Show Gratitude

  • When resisting porn, immediately close the tab and acknowledge your success with gratitude.
  • This releases a small dopamine hit to begin rewiring your brain away from porn dependence.
