Quote: Why masturbation lowers your self esteem and causes depression

Because dopamine is also the chemical responsible for connecting actions with rewards porn addicts usually start to find social connections less rewarding.



A porn addict is more likley to get bored of social gatherings, find his friends boring and to lose interest in social connections. In such a case his dopamine levels become low during social interactions and as a result he finds himself anxious around people.



The only way that can help that person feel good is to find something that can give him a higher dose of dopamine than the dose he got used to and that's why he reverts back to porn.



Each time that person reverts back to this bad habit he raises his dopamine resistance even more and make his life more grayish!



Because fatty foods can raise dopamine levels many porn addicts become fat as a result of the binge eating habit they develop to regulate their low dopamine levels.





I've always thought I'm kinda awkward and got this weird anxiety in public or I just don't give a fuck about people/social life/friends. Now I know why lol.



It's also the same for me as posted in OP. Sometimes I don't masturbate for days and do more work, than I usually do in a week.



This is usually followed by "reverting back to the bad habit" as described in the article, resulting in several times of masturbation in a day haha.
