New research reveals why men love porn so much. The study published in Human Brain Mapping shows that X-rated images trigger the reward centers of the brain more than the prospect of money or gaming in healthy adult men. Researchers explored how the human brain becomes conditioned to the most common internet-based addictions, particularly porn, gambling, and video gaming.
They collected data from MRI scans, skin conductivity tests that measure physiological arousal, and subjective ratings from participants, finding porn jumpstarted the brain’s reward processing pathways quicker than gaming and money. The findings suggest that because porn feels most rewarding, it might be more addictive than gaming addiction or gambling. Previous research agrees with the results, showing porn is more arousing and effective than some other addictive activities.
