Now look at your hand! Does the skin on your hand appear to be moving? It appears to be moving because of something called the motion aftereffect. Your brain is overcompensating from staring at the moving image. Looking at that image for 30 seconds affected and elicited a response from your brain cells.
Porn can cause its own type of "aftereffects".
When someone views pornography, the chemical norepinephrine is released. It acts to chemically burn the porn image into the memory. This is similar to what happens when soldiers see graphic war scenes. I stumbled upon pornography in the 1st grade; and with the help of norepinephrine, that image has stuck with me for over 20 years.
People often carry these scars with them into future relationships. So porn can ruin a marriage before the person even meets their spouse.
