If its a strong memory why do i forget what i saw

[BodyWisdomVideos]

@ownagekilla100 Memories take two forms: 1) Declarative - knowledge, facts, scenes in a porn movie; 2) Procedural: riding a bike, walking, driving, or cravings to watch porn. Procedural is Pavlovian - ring a bell and a dog salivates. With porn addiction, these unconcious memories have you going back to porn because when you have a cue (thoughts, stress, masturbation, horniness) your brain says look at porn - and you do - just like a dog salivating when the bell rings.

"There's no reason to be guilty. You're doing your job... of impregnating the screen." hahahaha

I find this very hard to masturbate to.

@ownagekilla100 emotional memories are different. It's the feeling of it not the visual.

10:48 onwards makes a lot of sense. I have issues with anxiety when I'm in public and I can relate this to that also.

@BeAsTm0aD That made me feel MORE guilty :P .

I downloaded a Sasha Grey porn after seeing that Tyra video. I already saw her in the Girlfriend Experience and jesus christ, i dunno. I don,t really get why all that gaudy makeup and screaming violently (not from pleasure) and spitting in your face is supposed to turn the viewer on. It's not just that porn is degrading to the actors/actresses, but that the viewer is subtly but severely damanged ( I think ). Your series shows this well. thanks!
