About this episode
In this episode, Sathiya discusses the neuroscience behind pornography and its effects on the brain, based on a study conducted with college students. He outlines three main effects: hijacking of brain reward circuits, emotional responses similar to drug use, and cognitive decline. Sathiya emphasizes the malleability of the brain and encourages listeners to make positive changes to improve their mental health and well-being.
