In a Covenant Eyes article written by Internet Safety Consultant Sam Black titled “Porn Can’t Give No Satisfaction,” the world of neuroscience is unfurled in layman’s terms.
Did you know that our brains have two distinct pleasure systems? One is for exciting pleasure, and the other is for satisfying pleasure. Black explains:
The exciting system, fueled by dopamine and anticipation, is all about appetite, such as imagining your favorite meal or a sexual episode.
The satisfying system involves actually having the meal or having sex, which provides a calming, fulfilling pleasure. This system releases opiate-like endorphins that provide feelings of peace and euphoria (Covenant Eyes).
Black’s article, “Porn Can’t Give No Satisfaction,” is an excerpt edited from Chapter 5 of the free Covenant Eyes e-book titled The Porn Circuit: Understand Your Brain and Break Porn Habits in 90 Days, which Black authored last year.
This (free) e-book is a stunning investigation into what happens to the porn addict’s brain; it’s also considered “The New Porn Addiction Recovery Handbook” for those who desperately need a genuine solution to porn addiction. Visit to this link to download your copy today!
