Beware that children and teenagers are easily addicted to pornography.

The famous singer and Grammy Award winner, Billie Eilish, admits the porn habit she continued to do at the age of 11 had destroyed her brain. He also thinks pornography is a disgrace.

"I used to watch porn a lot. I started watching porn when I was 11 years old," Eilish told SiriusXM Radio's Howard Stern recently.

Eilish also admits to starting to watch more and more types of graphic pornography that mislead her sex views. "It all got to the point where I couldn't watch anything but that," he explained.

Researchers reveal that children and adolescents who are exposed to pornography online or online are more likely to become addicted than adults. This is because the adolescent brain is more connected to pleasure.

The Wall Street Journal reports that the brains of children and adolescents release higher doses of dopamine and a neurotransmitter associated with pleasurable feelings. Sexual activity is known to stimulate the brain by releasing excess doses of dopamine.

Because young people have brains that are very sensitive to overstimulation, exposure to pornography can lead the brain to seek the dose compulsively. In addition, the researchers also found that repeated exposure to pornography can make children tend towards aggressive sexual behavior.

Another major study entitled "Neural Correlates of Sexual Cue Reactivity in Individuals with and without Compulsive Sexual Behaviors" found young men who reported compulsive pornography consumption had brain activity that mirrored that of drug addicts. Because of this, researchers warn that prolonged exposure to pornography at a very young age can distort teens' views of sex.

Experts warn parents and educators should refrain from inflicting guilt or shame on teens by scolding them for watching porn. A survey conducted by Los Angeles-based psychologist Nicole Prause found nearly one in three young adult men who took part in abstinence programs reported feeling suicidal after a relapse of wanting to watch porn.

“If we close the conversation and say 'Don't watch porn because it can be addictive and will damage the brain' sounds scary. That statement is one of those messages that scares and makes things worse," Prause told the Journal.

As for the New York Post on Tuesday, July 5, 2022, to overcome pornography addiction, experts recommend that parents filter explicit content on their children's devices or devices. For example, Apple offers a “Content and Privacy Restrictions” option in the “Screen Time” section of the settings menu on iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch devices.
