what does science have to say about avoiding pornography, if anything?

>RESULTS:
We found a significant negative association between reported pornography hours per week and gray matter volume in the right caudate (P<.001, corrected for multiple comparisons) as well as with functional activity during a sexual cue-reactivity paradigm in the left putamen (P<.001). Functional connectivity of the right caudate to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex was negatively associated with hours of pornography consumption.
>CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE:
The negative association of self-reported pornography consumption with the right striatum (caudate) volume, left striatum (putamen) activation during cue reactivity, and lower functional connectivity of the right caudate to the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex could reflect change in neural plasticity as a consequence of an intense stimulation of the reward system, together with a lower top-down modulation of prefrontal cortical areas. Alternatively, it could be a precondition that makes pornography consumption more rewarding.

>Resting-state functional connectivity (FC), measuring inter-regional correlations of spontaneous brain activity from blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) signals, has been widely used to investigate functional organization/connectivity of the brain. With this technique, evidence suggests that corticostriatal functional circuits are critical to the emergence of repetitive and compulsive behaviors, habitual behavior, reward-seeking and novelty-seeking behaviors, and addictive behavior (Feil et al., 2010; Shepherd, 2013). Moreover, altered corticostriatal functional circuits were found in autism (Di Martino et al., 2011), obsessive-compulsive disorder (Harrison et al., 2009; Posner et al., 2014; Burguière et al., 2015), and major depression disorder (Furman et al., 2011). Disrupted corticostriatal network has also been reported in frequent pornography users who were involved in reward-related and addictive behaviors (Kühn and Gallinat, 2014). Imaging studies have also demonstrated strong links between substance use disorders and dysfunction within the corticostriatal functional circuits (Feil et al., 2010; Volkow et al., 2013).

why does virginity matter?
-because people, especialy women, know that women cannot keep their legs closed
-because people know that most men never amount to anything

virginity is the best discriminant for people:
-good women are not tramps
-good men manage to make something of their lives (and, since women are loose by nature, fucking a woman is not so hard (if you do not fuck a woman, you better be good at something else))

naturally, this utopia never occurs:
-women spread their legs chasing their fun, especially through good sex, thanks to the men ready to serve them
-very few men go beyond women
men never amount to anything besides providing entertainment for women, since providing for women is the easiest thing, especially when it comes to giving them gifts.

I'm a virgin, does that make me desirable?

people need to stop assuming lower matter density is bad. lower matter density is associated with healthy aging and may be a product of learning, not degeneration.

only if you're female

that says lower connectivity not density

I'm incapable of getting a mate, does that make me desirable?

Science proves that women are smaller, weaker and less intelligent than men. In other words, women were God's mistake. The less you look at them, the better your life will be.

Having kids is condemning a person to a life they didn't ask for. It's a selfish act. Having sex is pretty fun tho, but when you think that monkeys and dogs and basically any other animal enjoys it too, you realize that it's just nature's way of keeping us alive (reward system). Personally I like the moments leading up to sex, especially the flirting

precisely, it's mother nature's cruel trick to passing on the gift of life. but i think you're incredibly flawed for not having any appreciation for human struggle

for fucks sake mate your heart wouldn't be beating in your chest if a woman never gave birth to you

Science says, "Beat your meat like it owes you money during finals and other deadlines"

Don't argue with science.
