Pornography And Social Media
- Internet porn, according to Science writer Gary Wilson, is a dangerously rewarding and addictive hyper stimulator.
- Just like pornography is a fancy presentation of unattainable sex goals, social media platforms are a fantasy version catering to our intrinsic desire to socialize with others.
- Both pornography and social media show curated fantasies, presenting it as something that seems possible.
- Both have high levels of excess, and novelty, kicking the reward system of the brain(that feel-good dopamine-producing feeling) into overdrive.
