watching porn is indicative of multiple negative things like lack of purpose and depression

In 2006, world pornography revenue was 97 billion dollars, more than Microsoft, Google, Amazon, eBay, Yahoo, Apple, and Netflix combined.
Compulsive Sexual Behavior Childress conducted a study in which they took fMRI scans of cocaine addicted patients presented with rapid (33 millisecond), preconscious visual cues (drug-related images). The same subjects were later shown preconscious sexually related visual cues (erotic images). The researchers found activation of the same limbic system/reward circuitry in subjects shown sexual cues as when shown drug-related cues. In their literature review of the neuroimaging studies of the human sexual response cycle, Georgiadis and Kringelbach concluded, “it is clear that the networks involved in human sexual behavior are remarkably similar to the networks involved in processing other rewards” You fucking drug addicts. Anatomically, loss of frontal control systems is most apparent following trauma, exemplified by progressive atrophy of the frontal lobes seen in serial MRI scans over time.
In 2002, a study on cocaine addiction demonstrated measurable volume loss in several areas of the brain, including the frontal lobes.
Another VBM study was published in 2004 on methamphetamine, with very similar findings. While interesting, these findings may not be surprising to either the scientist or the layperson, as these are “real drugs” used illicitly. Nevertheless, it was noteworthy that addiction could produce measurable, anatomical change in the brain.
In addicted patients shown hypofrontal syndromes. Key elements of hypofrontal syndromes include impulsivity, compulsivity, emotional lability, impaired judgment
hypofrontality, Fowler et al. noted, “studies of addicts show reduced cellular activity in the orbitofrontal cortex, a brain area…[relied upon]…to make strategic, rather than impulsive, decisions. Patients with traumatic injuries to this area of the brain display problems–aggressiveness, poor judgment of future consequences, inability to inhibit inappropriate responses that are similar to those observed in substance abusers.” For they are also seen with tumors, strokes, and trauma.
The researchers examined the "age of onset" for adult pornography use to see if early exposure led to desensitization and an increased likelihood of transitioning to deviant pornography. Out of the respondents, 254 reported nondeviant adult pornography use, 54 reported using animal pornography, and 33 reported using child pornography. Interestingly, those who reported child pornography use were more likely to consume both adult and animal pornography, indicating a potential progression.
The findings suggested a Guttman-like progression, where individuals with an earlier "age of onset" for adult pornography were more likely to engage in deviant pornography (bestiality or child). The study highlighted the need for broader, representative samples to understand the collections of child pornography users beyond case studies of convicted offenders.
The introduction emphasized that child pornography collections often include various genres, and some consumers may move through different types due to desensitization or compulsivity. The study addressed the gap in quantitative research by exploring whether those using nondeviant pornography are at a greater risk of consuming deviant forms, considering the age of onset as a key factor.
The three main objectives of the study were to determine if the age of onset is a risk factor for deviant pornography use, assess the prevalence of female child pornography use, and explore the frequency of pornography use across categories.
Results indicated that 5.2% of respondents self-reported child pornography use, with more male users than females. Only 8.6% reported bestiality pornography use, while 40.3% reported adult-only pornography use. The discussion emphasized the study's improvement over prior case studies, moving from clinical populations to the general population.
