Common mechanism of sexual arousal and addictive drug
Other features that Internet sex Do you know what separates it from other addictive substances and behaviors? In the following, we want to examine these characteristics. Stay with Dr. Salam.
1- Studies show that Video sex It is more stimulating than still images.
2- for Increase in sexual arousal (and raise the level Dopamine At the time of decline) the person can continuously at the same time, self satisfaction and change the style of sex. While this was not possible before 2006, when sites like YouTube appeared.
3- Unlike nude pictures, videos can replace your imagination, and may change your sexual taste or trajectory (especially in teenagers).
4- Sex is stored in your brain and you can review it whenever you need a provocative push.
5- Unlike food and substances that have restrictions on their consumption, there are no physical restrictions on sex.
Natural mechanisms to climax The brain does not activate until the person reaches the peak of experience. Even then one can click on something exciting to be stimulated again.
6- In the use of food and materials, a person can only go higher through more use.
At internet sex One can enhance this experience both with new sexual partners and seeing new and unusual styles.
7- The age when a person starts having sex.
A teenager’s brain is at the peak of dopamine production and formation, which makes it highly susceptible to addiction and sexual conditioning. Juvenile animals also have higher levels of DeltaFosB produce in response to natural substances and rewards.
Activation of the reward pathway by addictive substances
sexual stimulation And addictive substances activate exactly the same neurons in the reward pathway. In contrast, there is only a small percentage of neuronal co-activation between addictive substances and other natural rewards such as water or food.
Activation of nerve cells that sexual arousal make it so remarkable that it helps to explain why Matt (a morphine-like sedative), cocaine, and heroin can be highly addictive.
Strengthening reward pathway neurons
Interestingly, heroin addicts often claim that getting high on substances like Orgasm has it. Ejaculation enhances the addictive effects of heroin in the same neuron pathway as the reward pathway. Specifically, ejaculation shrinks the same neurons in the reward pathway that are suppressed by heroin use. This does not mean that sex is bad. This shows us that addictive drugs are controlling the exact same mechanisms that make us want to go back to bed.
The effective factors in the accumulation of delta-fas B
Plus, too sex and the use of substances cause the accumulation of “DeltaFosB”, a protein that activates genes related to addiction. The molecular change it creates is almost equal to Sexual conditioning and chronic use of substances. Whether it’s sex or substance abuse, high levels of Delta-FosB rewire the brain to crave “it.” In other words, addictive drugs hijack the same cells and mechanisms that make sex so pleasurable.
In general, addictive drugs like meth and heroin are highly addictive because they take control of the same nerve cells and mechanisms that make sex so attractive.
While most other pleasures do not. So, the common parlance on the matter goes like this explanation, “Well, many activities increase dopamine, so Internet sex is no more addictive than playing golf or watching the sunset.” This is an actual quote from a Sex therapist He is educated which shows his ignorance.
The bottom line of this concept is that drugs can activate sex neurons and cause them to fire (activate) without actually having sex. Internet sex can do this too. Playing golf and sunsets do not have this ability. That’s why even a great old song can’t do it. There is no need for addiction to create negative effects or changes caused by sex.
