Porn dopamin

Andrew Huberman explains the impact of pornography on dopamine levels and real-world romantic and sexual interactions in the brain. He highlights that the intensity and accessibility of pornography can cause an excess of dopamine release, which makes subsequent real-life interactions less satisfying in terms of dopamine response. This phenomenon can contribute to challenges in forming and maintaining romantic relationships outside the context of pornography use. Additionally, regular indulgence in pornography may lead to addiction for some, further complicating their ability to engage in healthy real-world sexual relationships 1.
