![]() Yes, it could be more addictive than crack cocaine because cocaine can be excreted from the body. Mary Anne Layden, co-director of a sexual trauma program at the University of Pennsylvania, said pornography's effect on the brain mirrors addiction to heroin or crack cocaine. I specialize in the communication effects of images on the brain, mind and memory, fraud in the human sexuality field and the addictive properties of sexually explicit images. I then followed the trail to the Kinsey reports. Hugh Hefner said he was Kinsey's pamphleteer. He was in sex therapy at the time so no one claimed responsibility. I later found out the boy had sexually assaulted children in the local neighborhood. A psychologist came up to me afterwards and said, "If you are concerned about child sexual abuse, you have to look at the Kinsey reports." That changed my life.Īlso, I had a child who, at age l0 was raped by a 13-year-old boy upstairs. I was delivering a paper in Wales for the British psychological association on children's sexual images in Playboy. How did you get involved in this research? And they have spent their lives in utter confusion, seeking to understand what this arousal is, and they can't understand it.

That is one reason it so often becomes addictive. ![]() It is an arousal the brain cannot understand. Those are the psychopharmacological emotions that are going to go off the charts. What pornography does is to simultaneously trigger other allied emotions - these would arguably be feelings of shame, fear and hostility. You'd be similarly aroused to your beloved spouse. If pornography triggered mere sexual arousal, it would have little or no addictive properties. The brain experiences a confusing neurochemical "high" that the mind mislabels as sexual arousal. Addiction to pornography is addiction to what I dub erototoxins - mind-altering drugs produced by the viewer's own brain. Pornography triggers a myriad of endogenous, internal, natural drugs that mimic the "high" from street drugs. Thanks to the latest advances in neuroscience, we now know that emotionally arousing images imprint and alter the brain, triggering an instant, involuntary, but lasting, biochemical memory trail. I am one of the few specialists in human sexuality that have not been Kinseyan trained - one of the few that have scientific credentials that allow me authoritatively to identify the frauds that underpin that entire "field" - a pseudoscience created by Alfred Kinsey's followers. These "researchers" certainly cannot be objective. ![]() But many of these are being produced by institutions like the Kinsey Institute that are committed to the normalization of pornography. There are now studies under way on the effect of pornography on the brain. What is new in the research on pornography addiction? Register correspondent John Severance spoke with her. 18 on the effects of pornography on the brain. Reisman testified before the Senate Subcommittee on Science, Technology and Space Nov.
