I strongly believe that Nofap is the
number one most life-changing change
that you can make in your life today but
there's a lot of skepticism behind
quitting pornography as our society
actually encourages young men and women
to watch porn and masturbate it's
considered normal
it's considered healthy and because of
this there's millions of people on this
planet that are not aware of the
dangerous side effects of viewing
pornography
so today I'm going to convince you to
take on the Nofap challenge and quit
pornography for good by using scientific
evidence to back up my claims now before
we even jump into pornography itself we
have to talk about a special little
neurotransmitter called dopamine what is
dopamine why is it important
dopamine is a neurotransmitter that is
responsible for seeking and searching
rewards dopamine provides us with the
motivation and drive to pursue potential
rewards or long-term goals if you've
ever crave the desert that was all
because of dopamine if you ever spent
hours on a video game trying to level up
that was dopamine if you ever dragged your
ass out of bed to go to class in the
morning that was dopamine without it you
lose all motivation to go out there and
do things
scientists have even conducted
experiments when they turned off the
dopamine receptors in rats and found
that the rats would become so lazy that
they die of starvation even though there
was food in their cage they simply had
no motivation drugs like cocaine heroin
adderall all work on the dopamine
receptors in your brain they stimulate
the dopamine receptors at extremely
high levels your body is constantly
trying to maintain homeostasis which is
a baseline level so when presented with
levels are not natural your brain reacts
by decreasing your overall number of
receptors what are the effects of lower
amount of dopamine studies have shown
that people with low dopamine receptors
have the following side effects fatigue
lack of motivation insomnia mood swings
memory loss social anxiety low libido
sugar cravings stress inability to
connect with others inability to focus
and there's also growing evidence that
low dopamine is a direct cause of the
depression
you're probably thinking well that's for
hardcore drugs there's no way
pornography can have a similar effect on
my nervous system as cocaine and it's
here where you're wrong sexual stimuli
is actually the most stimulating
dopamine activity you can naturally
partake in is because sex is crucial for
the survival of your jeans so your body
always rewarded you the most for it
it raises your dopamine levels to around
two hundred percent which is the same
amount as morphine and a bit lower in
cocaine which stands at three hundred
percent and unlike cocaine which peaks
at three hundred percent for only a
couple of minutes pornography has the
ability to stay above towards percent
for as long as you like
this is due to something called the
Coolidge effect when scientists put a
male mouse into a cage with a female
Mouse they observe that the mice would
have a ton of sex but over time the male
will start to get less and less
interested he would have a hard time
reaching orgasm and eventually he was no
longer interested in having sex
this indicated that dopamine levels
decreased over time however when a new
female Mouse was introduced his dopamine
levels with Spike all the way back up
and he be able to go at it again
in fact if the scientists continue to
introduce new female mice into his cage
he would keep having sex until he
physically could not move this same
effect is a hundred percent present in
humans
this means while watching pornography
you can consistently keep your dopamine
levels high by watching different videos
every new video every new clip you watch
is like taking another little bump of
cocaine and unlike cocaine which is
something you can only do so much of
because of its high cost difficulty to
get and risk of overdose it's entirely
possible for you to watch porn for hours
and hours at a time and remember for the
entire time you're watching porn your
bombarding your brain with dopamine
levels equivalent to those caused by
some hardcore drugs and of course when
that happens your brain starts
decreasing the amount of dopamine
receptors you have and over the course
of years of watching porn you end up
doing some serious damage to dopamine
reward circuits this is a large reason
as to why there are so many men out
there that have mental disorders such as
social anxiety depression and lack of
motivation it's because they are
constant
screwing with your dopamine and the
worst part is that society is actually
encouraging them to do so its to no
surprise that people who take on the
Nofap challenge and quit pornography
for good have reported things like more
motivation more libido less anxiety and
increasing social skills a feeling of
being alive again it's because when they
finally stopped watching porn their
dopamine levels start returning to
normal
take on the no-fat challenge and I can
guarantee that you'll see the same
benefits i will absolutely make a video
on how to actually go about quitting
pornography
