Why Virtual Reality Porn Will Covertly Kill Us

…studies successfully show that habitually watching 2D porn transforms the brain in various ways. Now imagine how watching immersive virtual reality 3D porn can transform your brain. …

Let’s look at how porn affects our brain and what science says. Striatum is the part of the brain which is responsible for giving us pleasure. For example, it gives us pleasure when we get money. Repeated exposure to pornography leads to a smaller striatum. The shrinkage of striatum indicates that the addict gets gradually desensitized to pleasure. Once the VR porn watcher gets significantly desensitized, he’ll need more for the same ‘hit’ similar to how we build tolerance to drugs and need more to feel the same high.

It starts with one curious look at VR porn until it gets out of your hands. It is fair to say that since 2D internet porn is the most addictive thing you can find on the internet, VR porn is going to be one of the world’s most addictive substances. Once you start to get increasingly drawn towards an endless flow of VR porn, your brain will numb it’s dopamine levels due to constant stimulation. Excess consumption of porn leads to dopamine surges. When your dopamine rises, your Delta-FosB accumulates, which is your binge mechanism. This mechanism in turn, leads to more cravings which leads to excess consumption of porn and the cycle goes on. The excess dopamine levels will lead to changes in your prefrontal cortex which will erode your willpower of doing normal everyday activities. At one point, your tolerance level will change so much that you’ll get porn induced erectile dysfunction. It’ll be increasingly harder to be normal again – to choose real sex instead of virtual reality sex. You’ll be less interested in real women. …

It’s easy to get carried away with the excitement of a new technology. However, we must stop before we make a decision that may destroy our lives. Virtual reality porn will indeed be a lucrative profitable business for those in the porn industry. However, we are the ones who will have to bear the scary consequences. We have to decide: do we really want to live in a lonely future – connected with machines and distant with human beings?
