Among several findings, the study showed: 1) increased activation of the same brain regions associated with substance-use addictions in response to sexual stimuli, and 2) dissociation between sexual desire and liking of sexual stimuli among CSB men compared to controls.
These findings provide important evidence of neurobiological similarities between CSB and substance-use disorders (e.g., nicotine, cocaine, alcohol)—specifically sensitization to addiction-related cues.
In sum this study shows the brains of men with compulsive sexual behavior responded to pornography in the same way that the brains of drug addicts respond to drug cues. #pornharms#publichealth#protectchildrennotporn
