A new survey of people aged 15 to 29 found that 82% of women and 100% of men viewed porn due to easy access on phones, porn consumption has increased rapidly in recent years.

一項針對15至29歲人群的新調查發現，82%的女性和100%的男性觀看色情片，由於手機容易訪問，近年來色情消費迅速增加。

It was only in the early nineties that people were just relying on static images in magazines.

只是在九十年代初，人們才僅僅依靠雜誌上的靜態影像。

I mean embarrassing.

我的意思是尷尬。

A new survey found that 82% of people failed when trying to quit pornography.

一項新的調查發現，82%的人在試圖戒除色情製品時失敗了。

So today We are going to explain exactly what happens to your brain and body.

所以今天我們要解釋一下你的大腦和身體到底發生了什麼。

When you try to quit porn on day one of quitting pornography, you likely won't notice much within the 1st 24 hours.

當你試圖在戒除色情的第一天戒除色情時，你很可能在最初的24小時內不會注意到什麼。

Most men and women had overall good moods and we're excited by the task trying to not look at porn.

大多數男人和女人總體上有良好的情緒，我們為試圖不看色情的任務感到興奮。

Maybe they had some extra time to read a book, cook a new meal, stare at a wall.

也許他們有一些額外的時間來讀一本書，做一頓新的飯菜，盯著一堵牆。

It's on day two of quitting porn.

這是在戒除色情的第二天。

When physiological symptoms started to appear, you may be asking how much porn do you have to be watching to have physiological symptoms when trying to quit.

當生理症狀開始出現時，你可能會問，在嘗試戒菸時，你要看多少色情片才會出現生理症狀。

And this is a nuanced question.

而這是一個細微的問題。

Most academic studies on the neurophysiology of pornography use involved people who self identify as having PP you Problematic porn use, this is not directly related to how much you consume, but whether you feel porn is negatively affecting your life.

大多數關於使用色情製品的神經生理學的學術研究涉及那些自我認定為有PP你的問題色情製品的人，這與你消費多少沒有直接關係，而是你是否覺得色情製品對你的生活有負面影響。

In 2011, of men were viewing porn every day.

2011年，男性每天都在觀看色情片。

Now the number seems to be closer to 39% but the change in self diagnosed pp you patients hasn't changed as drastically as you'd think right now.

現在這個數字似乎更接近39%，但自我診斷的pp你病人的變化並沒有像你現在所想的那樣急劇變化。

Studies say around 6% of people admit that they have problematic porn use again.

研究表明，大約6%的人承認他們又有使用色情製品的問題。

This is people self identifying as having a problem with porn and then seeking out help.

這就是人們自我認定有色情問題，然後尋求幫助。

Either way, studying people with P.

不管怎麼說，研究有P的人。

P.

P.

U.

U.

Is currently the only way that we can study how porn affects all of us.

是目前我們能夠研究色情如何影響我們所有人的唯一方法。

On day two of quitting is when people with PP you reported increased anxiety, inability to sleep, inability to concentrate and wanting porn more than three times per day.

戒菸的第二天是PP患者你報告焦慮增加、無法入睡、無法集中注意力和每天想看三次以上的色情片的時候。

This is because problematic porn use does change your brain.

這是因為有問題的色情使用確實改變了你的大腦。

It affects the noggin.

它影響了大腦。

Your brain has neural plasticity, meaning it physically changes in response to your behavior.

你的大腦具有神經可塑性，這意味著它在物理上會隨著你的行為而改變。

The change happens here in the gray matter of your brain, which physically changes due to porn.

變化發生在這裡，你的大腦灰質由於色情而發生物理變化。

Use an example of how gray matter changes, involves juggling.

用一個例子來說明灰質的變化，涉及雜耍。

A group of 24 non jugglers had their brains scanned.

一組24名非雜耍者對他們的大腦進行了掃描。

They were divided into two groups.

他們被分為兩組。

One group practice juggling for three months, the other didn't.

一組人練習雜耍三個月，另一組人沒有。

After three months they had their brains scanned again and the jugglers had significant changes in gray matter associated with processing and storage of complex visual motion.

三個月後，他們再次對大腦進行了掃描，變戲法的人在與處理和儲存複雜視覺運動有關的灰質方面有明顯的變化。

Using MRI brain scans of 28 men with P P.

利用28名男性P P的核磁共振腦部掃描。

U.

U.

And 24 men without.

還有24人沒有。

It was found that there was a physical change in the ventral striatum of men with PP.

研究發現，患有PP的男性的腹側紋狀體有物理變化。

You this is the part of the brain linked to wanting and involves dopamine.

你這是大腦中與慾望有關的部分，涉及多巴胺。

Dopamine is a neurotransmitter directly linked to our evolution and survival has a big impact on our behavior.

多巴胺是一種與我們的進化和生存直接相關的神經遞質，對我們的行為有很大影響。

And if you've been watching a saP science for the past 10 years, we talk about it's because it makes us crave the things we need to survive like food, Love, friendship.

如果你在過去的10年裡一直在看saP科學，我們談論它是因為它使我們渴望我們需要生存的東西，如食物、愛、友誼。

But also two things related to porn, which are novelty and sex, surfing porn, keeping a bunch of tabs open, figuring out the right one for you keeps dopamine levels in your brain high for long periods of time and this can physically change your ventral striatum and it's the reason why on the second day of quitting porn, you might actually physically struggle on day 4-7 is when most people go back to viewing porn.

但也有兩件與色情有關的事情，那就是新奇和性，瀏覽色情，保持一堆標籤打開，找出適合你的標籤，使你大腦中的多巴胺水準長時間保持高位，這可以從物理上改變你的腹側紋狀體，這就是為什麼在戒除色情的第二天，你可能實際上在第4-7天身體掙扎的原因，是大多數人回去看色情。

A big reason for returning was anxiety.

返回的一個重要原因是焦慮。

One study found that people with people you exhibited higher traits of anxiety than controls, even though both groups didn't have a diagnosed anxiety disorder.

一項研究發現，有你的人比對照組表現出更高的焦慮特質，儘管這兩組人都沒有被診斷為焦慮症。

People with problematic porn use were using porn to alleviate their anxiety, but most people said it actually didn't help interestingly, a lot of the neurological studies found that people with problematic porn use want porn more, but don't like it anymore than control groups.

有問題色情使用的人是用色情來緩解他們的焦慮，但大多數人說這實際上沒有幫助有趣的是，很多神經學研究發現，有問題色情使用的人更想要色情，但不比對照組更喜歡它。

This wanting is because porn effects your reward systems, your dopamine levels by being a super normal stimulus.

這種願望是因為色情影響你的獎勵系統，你的多巴胺水準，因為它是一個超級正常的刺激。

A super normal stimulus is a term coined by Nicholas Stenberg is something with exaggerated versions of normal stimuli that amplify the qualities that make it more compelling than the real thing.

超級正常刺激是尼古拉斯-斯坦伯格創造的一個術語，是指具有正常刺激的誇張版本的東西，它放大了使其比真實的東西更引人注目的品質。

Studies with birds show adding a fake super normal, vividly spotted plaster egg to a nest.

對鳥類的研究表明，在鳥巢中加入一個假的超正常的、有生動斑點的石膏蛋。

Makes a mother rather sit on it than a real more pale colored eggs.

讓母親寧願坐在上面，也不願意坐在真正的更蒼白的雞蛋上。

Or male jewel beetles will rather copulate with a beer bottle cap as the dimpled bottoms are more intriguing than a real bottle.

或者雄性寶石甲蟲寧願與啤酒瓶蓋交配，因為凹陷的瓶底比真正的瓶子更吸引人。

That's right, beetles are out here banging beer bottle caps for humans.

這是正確的，甲蟲在這裡為人類敲打啤酒瓶蓋。

A super normal stimulus can be junk food.

一個超級正常的刺激可以是垃圾食品。

A soft drink is a lot more compelling than the equal calories of radishes or porn enhanced novel sexual situations with easy access can be more compelling than real sex.

一杯軟飲料比同等卡路里的蘿蔔或增強了新奇性愛情況的色情片的熱量要比真正的性愛更有說服力。

It's for this reason that many people cannot last longer than 4 to 7 days without watching porn.

正是由於這個原因，許多人不看色情片的時間不能超過4到7天。

A survey found that on day 14 of no porn is when watching porn starts to feel like an intense novel experience.

一項調查發現，在不看A片的第14天，是看A片開始感覺像一種強烈的小說體驗的時候。

Again, the effects that porn have on dopamine levels can make it harder to delay rewards in all aspects of your life.

同樣，色情製品對多巴胺水準的影響會使你在生活的各個方面更難延後獎勵。

And on day 14 is also when the survey found that people could do challenging tasks for longer times and delay gratification better, essentially watching porn on your phone is a quick fix and I notice what I'm doing it a lot.

而在第14天也是調查發現人們可以在更長的時間內完成具有挑戰性的任務，並更好地延遲滿足感，基本上在手機上看色情片是一種快速修復，我注意到我經常在做什麼。

I do have a harder time like sitting down and reading a book or working on work for long periods of time.

我確實比較難受，比如坐下來讀一本書或長時間地工作。

So they say it takes two weeks to start to feel like you can delay gratification better after watching too much porn on your phone on day 30 is when you will notice a change in concentration and have clearer thoughts.

所以他們說需要兩週的時間，在第30天用手機看了太多的色情片後，開始覺得可以更好地延遲滿足感，這時你會注意到注意力的變化，有更清晰的想法。

One study had people abstained from junk food and another group abstained from porn and found the people who abstained from porn were better at delaying gratification and had less brain fog than those who abstained from junk food after three months, if we go back to the jugglers is when they notice gray matter returned to baseline, they asked both groups, the ones that could now juggle and the ones that couldn't to stop practicing juggling for three months.

一項研究讓人們戒除垃圾食品，另一組人戒除色情，發現戒除色情的人更善於延遲滿足，三個月後比戒除垃圾食品的人有更少的腦霧，如果我們回到雜耍者身上，就是他們注意到灰質恢復到基線時，他們要求兩組人，現在能雜耍的人和不能雜耍的人都停止練習雜耍三個月。

And this is how long it took.

而這是花了多長時間。

The gray matter to go back to quote unquote normal.

灰色物質恢復到引文中的正常狀態。

So after three months of no porn, you can expect gray matter changes in your brain in relation to the lack of porn use when it comes to advice for quitting anything, it's really challenging to figure out what works for you.

是以，在三個月不看色情片之後，你可以預期大腦中的灰質變化與不使用色情片有關，當涉及到戒除任何東西的建議時，要弄清楚什麼對你有用真的很有挑戰性。

I personally think knowledge is power and just understanding what I've taught, you could maybe help you at least realize the impact that these things can have on you physically.

我個人認為知識就是力量，只要瞭解我所教的東西，也許可以幫助你至少意識到這些東西對你身體的影響。

Some studies suggest mindfulness and meditation to kind of slow down the stimulus that is life.

一些研究建議用正念和冥想來減緩生活中的刺激。

Other studies recommend replacing porn use with other novel experiences, trying a new meal to cook, going and having a drink with a new friend, maybe try masturbating without porn.

其他研究建議用其他新奇的體驗來取代色情的使用，嘗試做一頓新的飯菜，去和一個新朋友喝酒，也許可以嘗試在沒有色情的情況下手淫。

That might be interesting.

這可能很有趣。

I also think it's important to acknowledge that a lot of these studies are rooted in homophobia and transphobia and queer phobia.

我還認為，重要的是要承認，這些研究很多都是植根於同志恐懼症和變性人恐懼症以及同志恐懼症。

It's very weird.

這非常奇怪。

These studies seem to start by saying you might have an issue if you're looking at gay porn or lesbian porn or transport before even getting into any of the science, which is a red flag for me.

這些研究似乎一開始就說，如果你看的是同志色情片或女同性戀色情片或運輸工具，就可能有問題，然後才進入任何科學領域，這對我來說是個紅旗。

I think, why don't you explain the science first before you start to explain what you think is non normal porn use?

我認為，在你開始解釋你認為的非正常色情使用之前，你為什麼不先解釋一下科學呢？

I just think it's important that people know this because I think this information is important.

我只是認為讓人們知道這些很重要，因為我認為這些資訊很重要。

Sexual health is important.

性健康很重要。

We need to talk about it, porn use is insane now because of the internet.

我們需要討論這個問題，現在由於互聯網的存在，色情的使用是瘋狂的。

We need to talk about it and it's just sad that it's been co opted by these misogynist, homophobic and queer phobic people.

我們需要討論這個問題，只是很悲哀的是，它被這些厭惡女人、恐懼同志和恐懼同志的人共同選擇。

Also, according to google trends, porn use has increased in the pandemic, especially in countries where there were stay at home orders.

另外，根據谷歌的趨勢，色情的使用在大流行中有所增加，特別是在那些有留在家裡的訂單的國家。

So yes, I think now more than ever it's important for us to learn about problematic porn use and go forth in the world as sexually healthy animals.

是以，我認為現在比以往任何時候都更重要的是，我們要了解有問題的色情使用，並作為性健康的動物在世界上走下去。

This is an interesting video leave comments below about your relationships to porn.

I'll be responding to them.

我將對他們作出迴應。

Maybe being a little bit more truthful in the comments.

也許在評論中要更真實一點。
