Contents of the experiment conducted on 28 men (average age 26 years old) was checked whether or not it was the same as the picture before the 4th while watching the photos flowing in the slide show one by one with "YES" or " NO "to answer,"5 minutes demon training to train the brain so muchI feel like it. There was a slideshow of a clean picture of people laughing and playing sports and a slide show of pornographic photos.

As a result, the average percentage of people who saw a slide show of non-sexual photos showed an average of 80%, but the average percentage of people who saw the pornographic slideshow average was 67%.

Responding to this result, the researchers are aware of the fact that people who caught porn on the Internet fail to fulfill their promises, abandon their work or relationships, fall into sleep, help psychologists and psychiatrists It is said that it will become. In our previous studies, it has been thought that processing pornographic images is linked with parts of the brain responsible for emotions, arousals, attention and so on.

"The sexual stimulus interferes with the work area of ​​the brain, also important parts that work in the center," says Christian Laier, a graduate student of the research team.

In conventional research, when looking at pornographic images and images, the brain preferentially turns blood and recognition to the part receiving sexual stimulation,Sometimes shut down other partsIt is clear that it is.

Since this time focusing on "how men respond to heterosexuals", we have not been able to verify what it is in women and whether homosexuals are the same, and Laier said "This research It is still in the early stages, there are points to be confirmed regarding gender and sexual orientation. "
