Free discussion: Why P can change our energy?

[lee]

Now a lot of guys, include me, has the changing in energy issue.

All day sleepy, brain fog, not energetic anymore, don't want to do anything but sleep, hard to thing, life is not enjoyable and nothing can make me excited...etc..

Why porn can change our energy? In those videos that we watched, symptom like DE is explained. But how can addiction change our energy to make us not "smart" anymore?
If addiction can cause this kind of issue, how do we explain why some people smoke a lot everyday (apparently its also addiction) but those heavy smoker don't have this kind of issue?

Just free discuss.

I will honestly say, when I smoke, my concentration and energy also gets less.
When I don't smoke for a while I can feel the 'brain fog' disappear after a day or 4.

It seems everything that make us addicted has bad effects.

No Porn doesnt boost energy over normal human energy levels it just brings our energy level to where it is supposed to be as a human.

But WHAT I want to know is if people get tired when they have sex regularly too(i have no sexperience yet^^) ??

I am tired everyday, just so sleepy.. I have stop PMO for many days, I felt a little better but still everyday I feel sleepy. U also have the same problem? and ur problem is only after u PMO? For me even I have quit PMO for nearly 20 days but I still get sleepy easily.

Different addictions will have different effects on different neurotransmitters and areas of the brain. Heavy smokers do experience low energy.

It is a well known fact that addictions lower the amount of some neurotransmitters and neurotransmitter receptors, particularly dopamine. To understand how low dopamine can cause things such as low energy you need an understanding of what dopamine does. I'll put it this way, if someone were to take a drug which "fits into" a dopamine receptor, such as ritalin and it gave them energy, then in absence of this drug relatively speaking they would feel a lack of energy. Same with dopamine, if there is a lack of dopamine due to an addiction then the effects of low dopamine will be experienced ie. low energy. Replace the example of ritalin with a different phenethylamine (dopamine is a phenethylamine) and you will experience the same lack of xyz effect when it is no longer present in the brain.

There is no reason to believe that porn addiction doesn't lower dopamine, porn may be unique in other aspects of addicted related brain changes but we will have to wait until further study before we find out. So there may be other ways porn addiction can cause these disturbances but dopamine is a major player.
