The Danger of Brain Damage Due to Pornography - Did you know, brain damage due to pornography is the same as brain damage caused by driving accidents. Brain damage caused by pornography damages five parts of the brain (the Frontal lobe, Insula gyrus, Nucleus Accumbens Putamen, Cingulated and Cerebellum) that play a role in controlling behavior that leads to repetitive acts of sexual gratification. This was conveyed by Elly Risman, referring to the research of Dr. Donald Hilton Jr, a neurosurgeon from the United States.
According to Elly, who is also the Chairperson of the Kita and Buah Hati Foundation, brain damage caused by pornography is difficult to detect using conventional methods. Therefore, sophisticated tools are needed to be able to re-establish the structural damage to the brain in five vital places.
"If not treated, it can lead to behavior that leads to repeated acts of sexual gratification".
This is where the family functions as an awareness and prohibits their children from watching pornography which is increasingly prevalent in internet media, online games, comics and cellphones with cameras. The ban will certainly narrow it down to viewing or making immoral videos.
Because it can damage five parts of the brain, especially the Frontal Lobe which is right behind the forehead. The damage to brain function results in a decrease in learning and decision-making abilities which are the hallmarks of humans as agents of social transformation.
