Porn addiction isn’t about sex or pleasure; it’s about dopamine.Pornography is the number one cause of erectile dysfunction in men under 40. Erectile dysfunction isn’t just the loss of erection; it’s a loss of libido and the ability to climax. The porn industry is not selling sex, they’re selling dopamine spikes! Dopamine is not a pleasure hormone, it’s a neurotransmitter. It’s about the anticipation before the pleasure: the want.Over time, pornography creates massive dopamine spikes, but the receptors are unable to receive them. This causes anticipation, cravings, and an obsessive urge to watch more porn. This is similar to the carb cravings you might experience if you have insulin resistance. Although 98 to 99 percent of porn is free, the porn industry manages to make billions off of the 1-2 percent of porn you have to pay for. This system relies on decreased sensitivity to dopamine, causing a person to crave more extreme porn.Too much dopamine leads to excitotoxicity, which is toxic to your neurons. As a protective mechanism, your cells will limit the amount of dopamine they allow in through a process called downregulation.The good news is that the damage to your dopamine receptors is reversible! The surprising solution is boredom. Allow yourself to be bored if you’re faced with the urge to watch porn. Over time, this will become easier and easier as your dopamine receptors return to normal. Try these tips to quit porn for good:• Don’t take your phone into the bedroom • Block pornography websites• Do not use social media that has soft porn• Remove triggers from your environmentTo restore normal dopamine levels after pornography addiction, focus on the following:• Sleep• Consistent exercise• Low-carb diet• Zinc• Magnesium • SunlightDr. Eric Berg DC Bio:Dr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.
