Watching Porn Shrinks Men’s Brains And Makes

Heavy use of pornographic material can make men stupid, apparently.

New research suggests that men’s brains shrink as a result of watching too much adult material.

German researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development found that men who watch a lot of porn tend to have smaller striatum.

The stratum is a region of the brain concerned with ‘rewards and motivation’ so the researchers believe watching porn damages their brain and makes them lazy.

There is a chicken and egg debate regarding these findings as to which came first, the smaller brains or the heavy usage of porn.

One conclusion is that less intelligent men love pornography.

Last year, a survey by the University of East London reported that 97% of boys and 80% of girls between the ages of 16 and 20 have watched porn.

I don't really doubt it. I have high intelligence (confirmed via IQ tests etc) but I'm sure the times that I sit around watching lots of porn aren't helping maintain that. There are definitely issues around expectations of sex and attitude towards women etc too. I think the main things are; try not to overdo it, try to remember that it's just porn so you can't expect real women to behave like that (at least not all the time), and try to remember that what the guys get away with in a lot of porn you can't (and there's probably good reason for that).

It also creates an unreasonable expectation of what sex is in reality. This can lead to men having performance issues and issues expressing emotions such as love.
