is porno adictive?
 

i have no proof or anything of the sort
but is it true that pornography is adictive to the human mind?(this includes hentai) alot of men are atracted to pornography(for obvious reasons)
and some women watch it also, but is it addictive like a drug or somethin?
can you start watching it and stop at any moment wihtout your mind or body asking for more?

Anything can be addictive. It all depends on the individual.

Like how you seem to be addicted to making 10 new threads every day.

Fixed

Physically, no.

Mentally, yes.

stay on topic, the fact that physically your not addicted sustains the fact that mentally you are? since the body reacts accordingly to the brain then that means that if the brain was not attentinve to pornography then watching it wouldn't turn someone on correct?

There's a huge difference between a physical and mental addiction.

but mental addiction can sometimes lead to a physical one? like drugs
first your mind becomes addicted then your body becomes addicted

No.

Go learn what the difference between mental and physical addiction is.

Honestly mj...citing wikipedia, I thought you were smarter than that. ;)

Porno could be physically addictive tho if you HAVE to use it to masturbate
Right?

Masturbation is not a physical necessity, rather it is a psychological one. Plus the dependency on pornography in order to orgasm is also a psychological condition.

I probably made my previous statements too authoritatively. Those are mere speculations. However, introspection does lead me to those conclusions.

It can be addictive. Depends on the person. It's like how some people are addicted to marijuana. It's mental and/or psychological.

You're an idiot.

There is nothing in marijuana that can make your body physically addicted to it. Therefore, it's a psychological addiction.

What's hard to understand about this people? If you are addicted to something, it's either because of a chemical dependancy that your body has formed, or you're psychologically addicted to it.

Chemical dependancy could most likely be shown to be a different thing than physical addiction, but they are pretty much in the same boat, and physical addiction is also caused by a certain chemical.

Marijuana has no addictive chemicals in it, and people who smoke marijuana are not physically addicted to it. What's addictive about marijuana is the feeling you get when you use it, therefore it is a psychological addiction.

I think KagomJack pretty much stated it was a psychological addiction, KA.

Doh, I misread "psychological" as "physical." I thought he was saying it could be both mental or physical.

Disregard me then.

I smoke a bit and I'm quite aware that there's nothing physically addictive about it.

Is porn addictive?





Yes.

That's why you're not around as much.

There's nothing addictive about marijuana, like !K_A! says. It's the "high" you get when you use it. Keep in mind that the people who are against drugs (eg. teachers, government, etc.) turn something very small into something very big. Like lets say a pothead was sitting on a bench next to a scientific professor who works for the government and the scientist is taking note of the pothead. Now the pothead goes and says "God, a bowl of chronic would be nice right about now, sitting on this boring bench waiting for teh bus". Now the noob professor he's like "OMFG, this guy's ADDICTED to marijuanana." So he goes and makes videos about the scientific facts of marijuana and how they can be so-called "addictive" and sends it to all the junior high schools around the country. That way when they get to high school they are all D.A.R.E. noobs but eventually start smoking and are coke-heads by the time they're 20.

So, yeah. Drugs are bad m'kay.

IMO it's not the drugs that are the problem for the most part, it's the users. Just like guns.

There's nothing wrong with Pot if you're responsible about it. There's nothing wrong with World of Warcraft if you're responsible about it. There's nothing wrong with sex if you're responsible about it.

Anything can be addictive, addictions can ruin lives, that's why people should be more responsible with things they could become addicted to.

An example of irresponsible use of WoW:

Give me all your lunch money!
No! I gave you mine yesterday!
Look, kiddo, give me your lunch money or I'll lend you my WoW account for a wholllllle month.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

onO! Here take it!

Shit...I need to remake my sig. It's starting to piss me off.

British people shouldn't try to make jokes.

Exactly. It's more about the people using than the items being used. However, I think it is safe to agree some things that people do do can have addictive properties within themselves, but we shouldn't let those things be an example for the majority.

Physically addictive things are bad. Psychologically/mentally addictive things CAN be bad, it just depends on the person.

That's my generalization. Always exceptions though.

porno is addictive!

Nothing is actually addictive in it's own right. The effect it has on you is what is addictive. As KA said before many things are addictive even games. The addiction is the hormones and other shit it releases your body says it wants more of that feeling and your brains says CRACK because it only knows what you know, and that is, that crack gives you that feeling. Same applies to anything that triggers biochemical releases even a damn good game like FF7 or DC2. My body says, "Hmm I liked how I felt when I was playing FF7 I want that feeling again." so my brain in turn goes and convinces me that I can play FF7 to get that feeling back so I do.

I do beileve I mentioned to MJ before that anyone can let their body and mind control them and their actions. The real question is...can you control your body and mind? Even Sun Tzu agrees with me in fact he said that mastering yourself makes you fearless. This is because you know that you can say, "STFU YOU STUPID PIECE OF SHIT BODY!" and not cave in to it's demands.

I agree with K_A. But mental things could be really bad if not treated properly
