What online porn does
Causes excessive dopamine surges - you can masturbate to more women in 10 minutes than your ancestors could in their lifetime. This is different from regular (paper) porn because the Coolidge effect (response to novel mates) has a much more widespread effect - more available women causes more dopamine flooding which causes addiction.
Reasons (online) porn is bad
- You become desensitized to sexuality and dopamine reward in general
- You become sensitized to more hardcore stuff; escalation causes fetishes which you do not want when trying to bone
- You develop hypofrontality (that is, your prefrontal cortex diminishes in performance)
- You will get erectile dysfunction due to desensitization
- You are more likely to develop mental disorders such as depression and (social) anxiety
- Unless you're one of the lucky few, you will be forever alone due to the aforementioned problems.
