Pornography addiction is a brain disease

Jakarta, pornography addiction may be more often seen as a form of moral weakness or mere entertainment. But an expert on pornography addiction states like chemical addiction, which is a brain disease.

Addiction to pornography is addiction the most difficult to treat, because addiction is attacking 'heart' of humanity. This is because sexuality is a key driver of human interests.

"Pornography is the perfect poison," said Gordon S. Bruin MA, LPC, founder and president InnerGold Counseling Services Inc.., As reported from HubPages, Monday (14/06/2010).

Bruin who for 18 years has been treating patients addicted to chemicals such as alcohol, heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, marijuana, and including pornography, view pornography addiction as a brain disease like a chemical addiction.

Addiction occurs when the brain is physically have mastered the mind. Mind is the intelligence of frustration due to loss of control. This is the part that generates a sense of right or wrong, because the physical brain has no concept of right or wrong.

Addiction is a condition where the brain is physically and chemically force someone to do a certain behavior without the involvement of the mind or conscience.

But because of the power of the brain limbic system (one system to the brain structure) and the capacity to overshadow the moral and rational parts of the brain, many people who claim that pornography is a normal behavior or as mere entertainment.

Basically, the only difference between drug addiction, like heroin or cocaine with pornography is a way of entering the system. The brain responds to information received through the eye more quickly than from other sources.

Visual information is processed in the limbic system within nanoseconds (ten rank minus nine seconds). This is why addiction to pornography be a major problem.

Visual information is processed more quickly than the other senses of information, even though the response of heroin or cocaine is much slower.

In addition to the visual, the hormone oxytocin also plays a role in addiction to pornography. Oxytocin can create a sense of unity and togetherness during sexual intercourse.

However, when these hormones are released by sexual contact without a partner as ways of seeing sexual images pornography alias, recipient oksiton left feeling alone, depressed, and confused, although accompanied by the release of dopamine (the hormone triggers a sense of fun).

Oxytocin is a chemical 'glue' that bonds are looking for something. Pornography is the power of oxytocin, which causes a feeling empty and confusion for all those who do. And this makes pornography addiction as a brain disease.
