Where does it come from? — Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source.

Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of “de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum” (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..”, comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

FAQ's

Do you have questions about pornography recovery – we answer them here

 

What does the recovery from porn addiction look like?

 
Once one is on the path to porn recovery, the brain goes through changes. Much like muscle memory, the brain creates pathways for every repetitive action we take. So, the pathways created by the brain when watching porn starts to fade away. The less you watch pornography the less you’ll crave it.
 
Since sexual release also triggers the release of dopamine into the brain, stopping the chronic over-stimulation of the brain has a similar effect to quitting cigarettes or drugs (substance abuse issues) – you experience withdrawal systems. This may sound intimidating to somebody but this is part of any addiction treatment regimen. While it can be frustrating, it’s also a sign that the brain is changing for the better.
 
Another positive effect is that the reward center of the brain (desensitized by porn addiction) can regain it’s sensitivity. You will more likely be more apt to respond to other positive stimuli. Once you find healthy alternatives to pornography, create much healthier coping mechanism and get rid of the other compulsive behaviors related to it, your brain will create new neural pathways that are much more positive and conducive for better mental health
 
Studies have indicated that damaged frontal lobes will recover once over-stimulation stops. The frontal lobe is important as it governs logic and decision making. Once shrinkage occurs, it reinforces the addiction as the addict is unable to make positive choices and frequently end up returning to their addictive sexual behavior. This is good news for those addicted to porn as this is proof that porn recovery is possible. When your frontal lobes recover, it becomes much easier to avoid relapse.
 
 

What happens to the brain while watching porn?

 
Scientists used to believe that after childhood, the brain stops changing. The latest studies have shown that they were wrong. The brain keeps changing as we grow older. So how does this relate to mental disorders such as porn addiction? It’s simple, the brain keeps rewiring itself. What that means is that repetitive actions cause the brain to rewire itself and make the connections stronger. The longer this goes on, the stronger the connection is. Think of a basketball player shooting 3000 shots a day this allows the player to shoot the perfect shot subconsciously without even thinking about it. The same is true of compulsive sexual behavior. Sexual gratification causes the brain to release dopamine, repetitive sexual stimulation reinforces the behavior until it craves constant sexual arousal in order to release more dopamine and so on.
 

How do you get addicted to sex or pornography?

 
Sexual arousal releases dopamine into the pleasure centers of the brain. The brain becomes more resistant to dopamine that it needs more to produce the same effect. If the porn habit continues and the signs and symptoms are ignored, the cravings become compulsive and the person becomes addicted to porn. The brain actually changes making any addiction one of the most damaging mental health disorders.
 

What is the first step to porn addiction recovery?

 
The first step would be to recognize the signs and symptoms of porn addiction. Once you do, you can start seeing a therapist and get treatment suitable for you. There is no one size fits all treatment. What works for one may not work for another so it is important that you seek a professional.
 

Why do sensitised pathways initially grow stronger when you try to quit internet porn?

 
Remember the pathways mentioned earlier? Those are evolutionary traits that cause us to crave for sex or food. It’s the most basic of human instincts to seek nourishment and procreate. Porn addiction takes over this survival mechanism making your cravings stronger when you try to quit watching porn.
