Chapters

What happens is that every time you watch porn, right, you that dopamine release in your brain. And after a while watching porn, that dopamine release gets less and less and less. And you need to watch more porn or more intense activity in porn to get you to have that dopamine level being released in your brain. So your brain gets used to that input of that sexual activity that you see in porn. And then when you actually have sexual activity with a real person, you're not getting that release of high dopamine that you normally get. So you're not getting aroused in your brain. And your brain is not sending messages down to the nerve and down to your genitals in order for you to get an erectional arouse.
