Our brain has mirror neurons. That means that when a monkey has electrical leads attached to it, and if they see someone else pick up a peanut, it will trigger the neurons that actually tell the arm to pick up a peanut himself, even though he is not there by the peanut. That is what mirror neurons do. So the neurons also help you learn. I work on my car and watching tutorials on youtube really helps me to learn how to fix certain things because the mirror neurons put me right there in the video, doing it ahead of time. That is why movies are so successful. And that is also why inappropriate contentography is so addicting. But there is something to know about bad things we watch. The more emotion tied up in the video, for example extremely violent or extremely sexual video's your brain retains more of it. That is why someone can be free from inappropriate contentography for years and still have images in their brain. Sexual exaggeration as implied by inappropriate contentography is so unrealistic, that it affects how you see yourself, and how you see others you love. It also affects how you treat others you love. If you are seeing violent inappropriate content, for instance and you are married, then when you have sex with your spouse, traditional sex will not do it for you. You want the exaggerated type of fantasy, which was all a motion picture, it was not real. With a negative stimulus with real relationships, it brings negative affects on one's marital fulfillment in general and how they view romance and everything about their spouse. Their spouse becomes no longer attractive to them as they have become addicted to abnormal and overstimulated versions of sex, (which of course is all scripted and played out, it's not real). This is a universal problem even among secular studies. Sexual fulfillment with real people becomes diminished as you train your body to react to overstimulated and exaggerated sexual encounters. For men this means they will become less in love with their spouse unfortunately. And same with a wife that is addicted to inappropriate content, her marital sex becomes less fulfilling, as she prefers the exaggerated versions and retrains her sexual desire and calibrates it for excessive stimuli. One inappropriate content user said "the real life could not match up to the fantasy expectation I had." He then closed off to society just be alone in his room in his happy place. Most neurologists will say when the brain looks at inappropriate content, it looks for new content and new variety. Which means soft core inappropriate content never stays soft core. Stuff you that would make you gag when you first saw it, you eventually start to crave. "for the brain to be remain stimulated it has to escalate and change content." Eventually the inappropriate content become so variant and violent, and hard core, that you literally cannot do real sex any more. NO ONE DOES THAT IN REAL LIFE. That is make believe and stuff that they choreograph. It's not real. inappropriate content elevates the risk of risky behavior. Eventually there is not enough content that will arouse you and you will start chat rooms. And try to find living people to send pictures. Then eventually you will try to proposition or be propositioned to meet up in real life. This can cause tremendous danger to young women for example, they can meet up with someone from a chat room for romance, and they end up raped, or trafficked or both. So inappropriate contentography fuels the sex trade. If people were not addicted to online fantasy, the inappropriate content industry would not have the power it has today. "inappropriate content made me think relationships were only about intimacy, sex and nothing else."- a young woman addicted to inappropriate content. For men addicted they view women as objects for gratification and inappropriate content sort of dehumanizes women to be something you beat up or attempt to rape in some video's, ultimately dehumanizing them and distorting the idea that women actually thrive not on violence but on caressing and gentleness.
Oxytocin. It's the bonding chemical released during sexual encounters. The only problem. It bonds to whatever you are fantasizing over. If that is a TV box or computer, then so be it. You will start to LOVE that thing, and the love that you should be giving to other people is given to a box. This destroys relationships. For example your girlfriend wants to talk about her day and have an intimate conversation or go to the park. You want to be by yourself in the room to bond with a box. When you should be bonding to another human, you are bonding to a box, and that is hurtful to them. They instantly see your devotion and love for your 'personal time' over your time together.
See God created sex, God also created honey, and sugar. Too much of something is not good. It's ok to have honey, but if that is all you feed yourself, you will literally become diabetic. But honey is created by God. But too much is bad. So too the sexual act was created by God, but too much daily stimulation is bad. It retrains your mind to only accept stimulation from inappropriate content and not real people. So many many marriages have not become 'sexless marriages' or marriages that rely on inappropriate content while having sex. But if you took the inappropriate content out they would just have real problems getting it up. There is something called TMS it's called traumatic masturbatory syndrome. There is not alot of journals on it, but you can find some. But it basically says if you touch more than 1X a day, you are sexually addicted and that may affect your future erectile dysfunction later in life. While most men have erectile dysfunctions later in life 60-70's men as early as 30-40 are now having the problem. Because they have stimulated to masturbation so much that they only get aroused by their own hand. They literally created their own form of self sex and become addicted to it. Thankfully TMS is reversible, but it could take a few years of not having that over stimulation regularly. That means quitting inappropriate content and quitting masturbation.
In conclusion those who view inappropriate content are twice as likely to get divorced, and those who view inappropriate content who are dating/courting are twice as likely to break up.
this leading researcher on marriage and relationships initially thought inappropriate contentography use among married couples helped to spur more romance after a first child, but they have changed their viewpoint....
