Week 1, Lesson 156
In Progress
En palabras simples, el efecto de la pornografía en el cerebro se puede dividir en dos categorías:
Condicionamiento sexual
La primera forma en que la pornografía condiciona sexualmente a las personas, es enseñándoles que “así es como las personas tienen relaciones sexuales y así es como debo hacerlo”. La pornografía les da a las personas todo tipo de conceptos incorrectos sobre el sexo: lo que se supone que les gusta a las mujeres, lo que a los hombres les gusta, como se supone que se produzca un intercambio sexual. Incluso cuando se sabe que lo que estás viendo es falso, se ha documentado como ver pornografía condiciona la comprensión y las expectativas de las personas con respecto al sexo.
La segunda forma en que las personas pueden resumir las condiciones del porno es: “Esto es lo que me excita”. El uso contínuo de pornografía proporciona preferencias/fetiches. La gente llega a creer que ciertos tipos de personas o cosas los despiertan naturalmente, pero así es como han sido entrenados, especialmente si son jóvenes. Luego, a medida que el uso de la pornografía se vuelve más severo, las personas llegan al punto en que la pornografía es, literalmente, lo único que las enciende. La pornografía se vuelve más emocionante que el sexo real y la única forma de mantenerse excitado es haciendo clic en un video tras otro.
Cambios cerebrales relacionados con la adicción.
No tienes que experimentar una adicción total para experimentar afectos similares a la adicción. El impacto más universal que tiene la pornografía en el cerebro en todos los niveles de uso se llama sensibilización.
La sensibilización ocurre cuando el cerebro conecta las imágenes, los sonidos, los olores, las sensaciones, las emociones y los recuerdos asociados con una gran recompensa, como masturbarse con la pornografía, creando un camino que puede destruir su centro de recompensa en el futuro. Cuando se activa por señales o disparadores, este camino crea antojos poderosos y difíciles de ignorar.
Los atracones de cualquier cosa que induzca altos niveles de dopamina (pornografía, comida chatarra, televisión) son interpretados por tu cerebro como: “Esta actividad es realmente valiosa. Tienes que hacerlo con más frecuencia.”
Tu cerebro se sensibiliza al uso de la pornografía como una actividad gratificante, que luego se refuerza con cada uso.
La información para esta lección proviene del trabajo de Gary Wilson en Tu Cerebro en Porno (Your Brain on Porn).
Este es un artículo fantástico que puedes leer, para comprender mejor el efecto de la pornografía en tu cerebro.

The Blessed Marriage Project (BMP) is an independently funded, grassroots initiative by Blessed couples for Blessed couples. Its programs welcome Blessed couples and married Blessed family members of every age and at every stage of marriage, and from every part of our Unificationist families community.
The mission of BMP is:
The initiative was conceived by two families in 2013, and formally launched the following year, with the donor couple generously giving $100,000 to cover annual expenses. Now their contribution has been over $200,000 annually, to include the related PureMind.Online initiative. (Read more history.)
The BMP is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt non-profit organization (meet the Board of Directors). The programming is led by professional Unificationist marriage educators.
In 2015, the Project began experimenting with new retreat formats, and expanding its menu of educational resources, most notably, PureMind.Online, to help combat the threat that pornography represents to Blessed couples.
Currently, the primary offering of the BMP is its Energize! Couples Retreats, which are designed for Blessed spouses to experience God’s love through a refreshing opportunity to learn useful information and tools, bond and enjoy each other as spouses, and to connect with other Blessed couples. To anchor the benefits in couples’ lives, the Retreat launches an opportunity for a local Small Group experience, and ongoing educational and supportive events and resources.
The purpose of the BMP also includes training young Unificationists to learn to carry out such programming in the future. In addition, the Project provides for training volunteers to facilitate Small Groups and Seminars among past participants and other married couples in their local church communities. The team is looking for other young people with a passion to support couples to join our staff, as well as older members to partners with us and contribute their skills.
The Project is offering Energize! Couples Retreats in 2017 depending upon what hosting communities contribute in terms of funding and local staff, and how their open dates coincide with the availability of BMP staff. We encourage interested communities and potential donors to contact our staff.
