02:21:59 The Link Between Pornography And Dopamine

Huberman explains the scientific basis of some of the harms most frequently reported by today’s porn users, including escalation, social anxiety, sexual dysfunction and lack of motivation. Based on thousands of stories guys have shared with him, he reveals that young men are feeling that they have been deceived and left in worse condition due to their porn use.

He also calls for a public discussion of pornography’s adverse effects on young men. He would like to see a movement similar to what is happening in response to Jonathan Haidt’s work on the ill effects of social media and internet overuse on some users (especially young women).
