Study Reveals Effects Of Pornography On Brain Function

A recent study delved into the impact of frequent pornography consumption on cognitive behavior. Researchers from Chengdu Medical College in China used functional near-infrared spectroscopy to measure brain activity in participants exposed to adult videos. The study found that individuals with higher porn frequency exhibited longer reaction times and reduced accuracy during cognitive tests compared to those with lower exposure. Therapist Danielle Sukenik noted that this heightened exposure could lead to a search for more extreme content, potentially disrupting personal relationships. A recent report found 69% of men and 40% of women in the US viewed online pornography each year. (Unilad)
