number one most life-changing change

that you can make in your life today but

there's a lot of skepticism behind

quitting pornography as our society

actually encourages young men and women

to watch porn and masturbate it's

considered normal

it's considered healthy and because of

this there's millions of people on this

planet that are not aware of the

dangerous side effects of viewing

pornography

so today I'm going to convince you to

take on the Nofap challenge and quit

pornography for good by using scientific

evidence to back up my claims now before

we even jump into pornography itself we

have to talk about a special little

neurotransmitter called dopamine what is

dopamine why is it important

dopamine is a neurotransmitter that is

responsible for seeking and searching

rewards dopamine provides us with the

motivation and drive to pursue potential

rewards or long-term goals if you've

ever crave the desert that was all

because of dopamine if you ever spent

hours on a video game trying to level up

that was dopamine if you ever dragged your

ass out of bed to go to class in the

morning that was dopamine without it you

lose all motivation to go out there and

do things

scientists have even conducted

experiments when they turned off the

dopamine receptors in rats and found

that the rats would become so lazy that

they die of starvation even though there

was food in their cage they simply had

no motivation drugs like cocaine heroin

adderall all work on the dopamine

receptors in your brain they stimulate

the dopamine receptors at extremely

high levels your body is constantly

trying to maintain homeostasis which is

a baseline level so when presented with

levels are not natural your brain reacts

by decreasing your overall number of

receptors what are the effects of lower

amount of dopamine studies have shown

that people with low dopamine receptors

have the following side effects fatigue

lack of motivation insomnia mood swings

memory loss social anxiety low libido

sugar cravings stress inability to

connect with others inability to focus

and there's also growing evidence that

low dopamine is a direct cause of the

depression

you're probably thinking well that's for

hardcore drugs there's no way

pornography can have a similar effect on

my nervous system as cocaine and it's

here where you're wrong sexual stimuli

is actually the most stimulating

dopamine activity you can naturally

partake in is because sex is crucial for

the survival of your jeans so your body

always rewarded you the most for it

it raises your dopamine levels to around

two hundred percent which is the same

amount as morphine and a bit lower in

cocaine which stands at three hundred

percent and unlike cocaine which peaks

at three hundred percent for only a

couple of minutes pornography has the

ability to stay above towards percent

for as long as you like

this is due to something called the

Coolidge effect when scientists put a

male mouse into a cage with a female

Mouse they observe that the mice would

have a ton of sex but over time the male

will start to get less and less

interested he would have a hard time

reaching orgasm and eventually he was no

longer interested in having sex

this indicated that dopamine levels

decreased over time however when a new

female Mouse was introduced his dopamine

levels with Spike all the way back up

and he be able to go at it again

in fact if the scientists continue to

introduce new female mice into his cage

he would keep having sex until he

physically could not move this same

effect is a hundred percent present in

humans

this means while watching pornography

you can consistently keep your dopamine

levels high by watching different videos

every new video every new clip you watch

is like taking another little bump of

cocaine and unlike cocaine which is

something you can only do so much of

because of its high cost difficulty to

get and risk of overdose it's entirely

possible for you to watch porn for hours

and hours at a time and remember for the

entire time you're watching porn your

bombarding your brain with dopamine

levels equivalent to those caused by

some hardcore drugs and of course when

that happens your brain starts

decreasing the amount of dopamine

receptors you have and over the course

of years of watching porn you end up

doing some serious damage to dopamine

reward circuits this is a large reason

as to why there are so many men out

there that have mental disorders such as

social anxiety depression and lack of

motivation it's because they are

constant

screwing with your dopamine and the

worst part is that society is actually

encouraging them to do so its to no

surprise that people who take on the

Nofap challenge and quit pornography

for good have reported things like more

motivation more libido less anxiety and

increasing social skills a feeling of

being alive again it's because when they

finally stopped watching porn their

dopamine levels start returning to

normal

take on the no-fat challenge and I can

guarantee that you'll see the same

benefits i will absolutely make a video

on how to actually go about quitting

pornography
