To be honest this very interesting how different types of addictions affect the body

So whatever damage was done to the receptors through addiction can be reversed or healed over time?

So you burn out/ destroy your receptors in addiction. Good god...

@TheJovanist You can se my answers to others here. Addiction is more than dopamine receptor changes. I simplified many apsects. Receptors are not burned, they are purposely reduced by the cells. The cells can rebuild the lost receptors in probably a few minutes. It's not damage - it's a feedback mechanism.

@BodyWisdomVideos So if one overcomes their addiction (be it porn, drugs, whatever), do these changes revert? I mean, do things go back to the way they were before addiction?

@Task5003 Probably do, except adsicts may still have sensitzed addiction pathways that can be reactivated if an addict uses. Still much to be learned.

did you say that your receptors can bounce back? Does that mean that if I get off my addiction everything can go back to normal?

@DaBlackBandit Addiction involves far more changes than just dopamine and dopamine receptors. But evidence suggests they do bounce back. The porn pathways (sensitization) may continue to linger for a long time, but hopefully weaken
