Blue Period Porn is an exceptional anime about menstruation – and how it can turn boys on – that also explains a great deal about sexual pleasure science. When we engage in masturbation, neurons in our brain fire together in response to an external cue (for instance masturbation). Over time these connections strengthen as we repeat an action or cue leading up to it, increasing its reward even further – leading to new habits being formed and thus leading us toward pornography as a habitual behavior.
People become addicted to specific types of pornography due to its addictive qualities and the thrill associated with reaping similar rewards again and again. Unfortunately, this can have severe repercussions for a person’s physical and psychological wellbeing; but there’s good news: once you understand what turns you on and why you keep returning to this particular kind of material over and over, taking steps can be taken to curb or break this addiction habit.
One reason pornography can be so addictive is due to the way it releases dopamine into the reward center of the brain, stimulating its reward circuitry. But over time, your mind can become immune to this same reward; therefore it’s essential that you try new experiences or approaches in order to keep things stimulating your brain and stay fresh.
