I’m new to the app. One of the things that has stuck with me in the past day of reading about what contributes to addiction is how dopamine works. It’s so crazy to think that when I was going through puberty the slightest thing could get me going. What used to be 5 minutes on the hub to get me going turned into 30+ minute searches across sites and Twitter for the phantom “something” that can finally satisfy my dopamine receptors. All this to say - what I’m realizing is that whatever I/you think you’re searching for, odds are you’ll find something you don’t want to in that search, so why search?
I’ve never really noticed that until now. It explains why when I was 15-16 a girl would touch me and I’d be bricked for like 3 hours and now at 19 I’m in bed with a girl and she starts rubbing her ass on me and it doesn’t rlly get hard.
