Experiment shows visual cortex in women quiets when viewing porn

Experiment shows visual cortex in women quiets when viewing porn | Science News | Scoop.it

Researchers from the University of Groningen Medical Centre in the Netherlands have found that for women at least, watching pornographic videos tends to quiet the part of the brain most heavily involved in looking at and processing things in the immediate environment, suggesting that the brain finds arousal more important during that time than is processing what is actually being seen.

Why Men Need To Cheat - The Huffington Post

Why Men Need To Cheat - The Huffington Post | Science News | Scoop.it

Monogamy is failing men.
Not only is it failing them, but it's a "socially compelled sexual incarceration" that can lead to a life of anger and contempt, or so says Eric Anderson, an American sociologist at England's University of Winchester and author of the provocative new book, The Monogamy Gap: Men, Love, and the Reality of Cheating (Oxford University Press, $49.99).
Cheating, however, serves men pretty well. An undiscovered affair allows them to keep their relationship and emotional intimacy, and even if they're busted it's a lot easier than admitting that they wanted to screw someone else in the first place, he writes.

Can Pornography Trigger Depression? | Science News | Scoop.it

Nearly 30% report that they view pornography at least 3-5 times a week and over 25% indicate that they view pornography daily. Initially, I choose to keep these two groups together to see how they did on the depression scale in comparison to the general population. They didn't fair to well.

Consuming Internet Porn Inhibits Male Performance and Rewires the Brain

Consuming Internet Porn Inhibits Male Performance and Rewires the Brain | Science News | Scoop.it

New research suggests that men who consume internet porn perform poorly when with a real flesh-and-feelings woman. This seems to especially be a problem for guys under 25 years of age - they have grown up with internet porn the ways guys in my generation grew up with Playboy. The problem for them is that the internet does different things to the brain when sex is concerned.
