Study Finds Porn Exposure Associated With Smaller Brain Region
New submitter Bodhammer (559311) writes "German researchers looked at the brains of 64 men between the ages of 21 and 45 and found that one brain region (the striatum, linked to reward processing), was smaller in the brains of porn watchers, and that a specific part of the same region is also less activated when exposed to more pornography." While it's tempting to cast blame, "the study doesn't confirm whether watching porn causes the changes, or whether people with a certain brain type are inherently more apt to tune into X-rated content." The study's abstract is available; the paper itself is pay-walled.
At last a study that concerns /.ers more than any of the other stuff to be found here lately.
In other words, people with a smaller brain region are less capable of speaking the truth.
The creatures outside looked from Alt-Right to Antifa; but already it was impossible to say which was which.
So all guys have a smaller region of the brain?
Your girlfriend or wife will say no, it's how you use it, but that's only a half truth.
Someone with a smaller striatum who knows how to use it is likely going to give more pleasure than someone with a large striatum who is clueless about how the female brain works, but women prefer someone with a large striatum who knows how to use it over either.
Of course, your striatum can be too large - and despite what you see in the movies, women do not like having their hippocampus jostled by some monster brainpart.
Log off Mr. Cruise, no one here is gonna buy it.
Actually, this is my most erotic fantasy!!
