Our bodies produce drugs to help regulate our behaviors. Recently we have been doping. The science is complex and contentious, but there are undeniable effects we can observe in our own lives. As a test, if you use a smart phone, try not looking at it for just one full day.
A better test, if you're a man, might be to not watch pornography for one week. Like any addict we are enslaved by our drug, but we often refuse the admit it. We harm ourselves, damage ourselves, and tell ourselves everything is fine, even while we suffer.
How, you might wonder, has porn become so readily accessible?
