neuroplasticity

Comments: The adult brain is more plastic than was realized. This can be a double edged sword.

Research Shows Adult Brains Capable Of Rapid New Growth
April 5th, 2011 in Medicine & Health / Neuroscience

(PhysOrg.com) -- In a paper published in Proceedings of National Academy of Sciences, Veronica Kwok, Li-Hai Tan, and their colleagues at the University of Hong Kong, conclude that the adult human brain is capable of new rapid growth when exposed to stimuli similar to what babies experience as they are learning from their environment.

I just completed a 6-part, narrated, power point presentation on porn addiction. It covers a lot of ground and explains so much of what we discuss on this site and have written about.
Subjects include - Coolidge effect, dopamine dysregulation, numbed pleasure response, rewiring of the brain, neuroplasticity, reward circuitry, limbic system, what makes Internet porn unique, what is an addiction, rebooting, learning & unlearning, and elk penises.
It was created so that everyone addicted to porn can get the concepts in one place and in a linear and visual format.

Like many others on here I've been reading "The Brain That Changes Itself" and it's dramatically altered my thinking about delayed ejaculation. I'm starting to think my delayed ejaculation is caused by my wearing a deep neurological groove for specific forms of auto-stimulation. For example I've often used porn as a sexual outlet. This overstimulates the "let's screw" circuitry triggered by visual sexual stimulation and gives me a big erection when I might otherwise not really be in the mood. So I masturbate and have a nice orgasm and get a big rush of various feel-good brain chemicals.
