Addiction and Pornography

Author : David Knowles

* Effects on the brain and psyche.

1. Many people believe that images that we view are harmless, or
that the only harm it inflicts is moral in nature. 2. Our brain
is like a supper sophisticated computer, any image we take in
stays with us and is forever recorded and becomes a part of our
psyche. We may not want to remember certain things we have
scene, but it will always be there, and you may not always be
able to control when it will surface.

Example: I was a Police Officer for ten years and a Detective
for most of that. I also served several years on the Metro
S.W.A.T. team. I have observed more than my fair share of
gruesome sights. I have investigated more deaths and attended
more autopsies than I care to remember. At one point I was
called out for SWAT on an individual that wanted to commit
suicide and was barricaded in is house. I will not go into
detail but while dealing with the particular circumstance I was
exposed to the most horrific scene. As the other Officers I
dealt with the incident and did my job, and later that night I
did not think much about it. Several days later however I
started to experience nightmares, irritability and an inability
to keep from replaying in my mind every dead body I had ever
investigated. I sought help and found out that I along with the
other officers at the scene had been experiencing Post traumatic
stress disorder. I was able to work through the problem and
resume my duties, unfortunately some of my colleagues were not
able to work through the incident and ended up leaving the
profession.

If you think that images can not hurt you think again.

3. when one views pornography several things begin to happen.
Blood vessels dilate the heart rate speeds up and chemicals are
released into the brain. These chemicals are called endorphins
and endorphins are custom made in the body to produce the
feeling of pleasure and euphoria. Each individual produces
endorphins that are designed specifically to work the best for
that person. These chemicals when appropriated in the body in
the prescribed amounts and through normal means, they work
perfectly. Pornography like any other external stimulus acts on
the amount and frequency that these chemicals are released

Pornography actually causes a chemical bath in the brain, when
this happens the endorphins released are 5 to 7 times more
addictive than cocaine. The addiction begins and at that point
the addict can receive a chemical bath just by thinking about
previously viewed pornography, or by rehashing fantasies that
were concocted while viewing pornography. I have known
individuals who would receive an endorphin release just by
hearing the sound the computer makes as it logs onto the
internet.

Prolonged use of pornography will actually alter the chemistry
of the brain. People in this condition need constant stimulation
and endorphin release just to feel some what normal. If the
stimulus stops usually a deep depression or anxiety takes them
over.

Like any other addiction the mild images that you begin with
will soon lose their effect in the release of endorphins, and to
obtain the same level of excitement more and more vulgar scenes
will be sought out until you are far from the person you were
when you started.

As a Police Officer I investigated a young man who started by
viewing swim suit models on the internet, in a matter of months
he had reached the depths of depravity. He had devised a plan to
kid nap, torture and then kill a young girl to gratify his now
warped lusts.

If you indulge in pornography you will become desensitized to
that which is wholesome, good and natural and be left to pursue
that which is filthy, vulgar and unnatural.
