[QUOTE="Pacman, post: 18698, member: 2450"] Also, just to clarify on what I wrote in that last paragraph in my previous post: The difference between enjoying and simply relieving a base urge is like the difference between eating an amazing, thick juicy steak grilled to perfection to eating Ramen noodles. They'll both fill you up, but only one of them will you truly enjoy. The second point at hand (hehe), has a lot to do with the findings from these people: [URL]http://yourbrainonporn.com[/URL] who claim, based off of several recent studies, that over stimulation from porn (and masturbation) causes certain chemical changes in the brain akin to that of addicted individuals, as well possibly down-regulation of dopamine receptors, [I][U]meaning that you enjoy things a lot less than you used to[/U][/I]. I am not saying that they are right, or they are wrong. Just that this may be something we'd want to take into consideration as a possibility? (By the way, there are many other sources, online and offline, they are just one example.) If their findings [I]are [/I]medically relevant to me, meaning that I have manually down-regulated my own dopamine production, wouldn't that mean that taking a dopamine agonist, such as cabergoline, be extremely counter productive and just worsen the problem?
