Discussion:Does porn and masturbation affect IQ?

Why would it?

>>7792235
Whether porn causes any social changes is something you could possibly debate, but I don't understand how seeing a naked woman would make you smarter/stupider.

And unmarried people fap in every society. I'd be willing to bet at least 90-95% of historically significant researchers did (outside of a handful of autismal oddities like Paul Erdos)

Probably for a few days.

Bamp

Yes, like any addiction and obsession it consumes your time, your thoughts, your energy, your passion and in this case some useful nutrients as well.

I've made some stupid decisions when being presented with a naked woman.

Granted, they were in the room with me.

Did you pee in her butt

You need to get your dad to sit down with you and have "the talk."

I pee'd in a grill's mouth once. Her fire went out and my steaks were ruined.

Like snapchat?

>>7792235
I fap every day and I have an IQ of 170

I'd be more worried about the time you spend here. Doing this.

>>7792235
Depends on what kind of porn you fap to. If I am in need of mental prowess to do my homework for example I fap to oral porn. If I am in need of confidence, when I am going out, and not be so uptight as when I am doing homework, I fap to anal porn. If I am I need of being a social recluse I fap to hentai.

>fMRI studies confirmed that the putamen is activated during sexual arousal [265,266]. The authors suggested this lower volume may reflect tolerance brought about by desensitization: “This is in line with the hypothesis that intense exposure to pornographic stimuli results in a downregulation of the natural neural response to sexual stimuli”

It definitely affects your brain in a way that's undesirable.

little bit of a jump there

I'm an extreme fapper (sometimes up to 10 hours a day) and my IQ is ~160.

>>7792235
