New findings

A study of Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior , shows that the reactions of brain when looking at images of sex explicit has a relationship with the number of couples sexual

The researchers analyzed the behavior of 52 volunteers (39 men and 13 women from 18 to 39 years old) who admitted having problems when looking images pornographic .

After applying a series of questionnaires about their wishes, behavior and compulsions sexual , as well as its consequences, the researchers measured the brain's electrical activity by means of electroencephalograms, while they observed a sequence of photographic images .

The sequence indifferently showed pleasant and unpleasant images, as of dismembered bodies, people preparing food, skiing and having sex .

 

New findings

The results reflected the intensity emotional that the images woke up in each person, finding that those who had had more couples your response to each Photography It did not change, probably because it was not something new.

Quite the contrary was what was observed among the participants who claimed to have few couples, because their emotional response rose considerably before the stimuli more explicit.

The team of researchers expected that people with the highest number of sexual partners had the highest response, so the conclusion was that the reactions are not related to the addiction to sex, but, and only, to a excess of libido .

Nicole Prause, researcher at the Department of Psychiatry at the Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior at UCLA , says: "If these people really suffered from sex addiction, their brain would be expected to respond to visual sexual stimuli."

The recent conclusions add to those of the American Psychiatric Association , which states that the addiction to the sex It is not classified as a disorder.

So if you have lost the astonishment when you come across some image of sex implicit, do not worry, because maybe it is explained because you have lived so many experiences that many of them no longer mean something new to you.
