UK Study Reveals Brain Changes from Porn

Home » Blog » Porn Problem Recovery » UK Study Reveals Brain Changes from Porn

Martin Daubney hosted a documentary in late September on British national television etitled, “Porn on the Brain”. It’s groundbreaking and explores the nature and impact of today’s pornography. The program includes a section on Dr. Valerie Voon’s MRI brain scan research that is revealing significant differences between the reactions of compulsive porn user’s brains as compared to controls (See photo first published in the Independent 9-22-13).

brainchange-smallHer research appears to validate the addictive nature and potential of today’s porn and provide some explanation for how and why it can cause serious mental, sexual and relationship problems. The program also takes a personal, albeit disturbing, look into the life of a young man with a serious porn problem, and explores possible societal solutions that may include early and continuing sex education. NOTE: contains sexually explicit adult content, as well as graphic and blurred images of porn.
