The Addictiveness of Porn
• Men are visually stimulated
• Viewing an erotic image releases dopamine in
the brain which is similar to a drug high
• Creates a feeling of excitement
• Excitement + Sexual Arousal + Orgasm = The
desire for more!
• This is where an addiction can develop

The Addictiveness of Porn
• Soon a tolerance develops
• More of the substance is needed to achieve the
same effect – “soft porn” is not enough
• The addict moves onto “hard-core porn,” which
can include violence, children, fetishes, etc.
• Dependence develops after this. The person
craves porn physically and emotionally.

The Addictiveness of Porn

not enough

he has seen in pornography
• He may seek out prostitutes or anonymous sex
partners
• This can result in contracting sexually
transmitted diseases and even death
