Wael Ibrahim – Pornography Facts – Episode 1 – Brain Alteration

			Hi everyone this is well Ebrahim from the aware Academy and this is * facts, a new life
series which will be broadcast on my page and different other pages on the internet, where we will
be discussing factual information about the harmful impact of *. And before getting into
the discussion of the first episode today, I wanted to clarify something really important and that
is, this is not a religious discussion around * and it's addictive nature.
		

			I will turn usually to science and latest discoveries in the field.
		

			And that will be it we will not bring religion into discussion. Yes, I have my own personal faith.
Yes, I speak about my faith a lot on different settings. But when it comes to *, usually,
I bring the latest research rather than bringing religious into the discussion. Of course when when
I'm invited into religious spaces, I do turn to texts and so on and so forth from religious
perspective. However, this is not the setting of this is not the nature of this, of this series.
Secondly, I'll try to be very simple in choosing my terminology so that we don't confuse anyone. So
I will try to simplify the language as much as possible so everyone can be on the same page. Right?
		

			If you could now, turn your attention to the description
		

			of the video I said the * industry try its best to convince the consumers that their production
helps to relieve people's sexual tension. While sexual tension may get relief temporarily while on
*, those same people have failed to mention that the same products also promises addiction,
intense craving, tolerance to negative behavior, deviation from the norm, and worst of all, brain
alteration, and sexual dysfunction. Now, we will not focus on each of those damages that could
happen to anyone who constantly watching watch *, we will focus only on brain alteration.
And then we will take each of those problems like addiction cravings on on a later discussion, but
		

			brain alteration, are you kidding me? Some people you know the, they are surprised to know that
* just a visual image of people having sexual inter interaction would cause a brain
physical brain alteration, a complete changes of your chemical in your brain.
		

			And these are not my words, these are not something that we are making up. This is a the latest
studies in the field of neuroscience, and neuroplasticity, and so on, they have discovered that
actually those who constantly view *, they could reduce the cells in the brain to an
extent that the most important part of the brain, which is the frontal lobes, or what we call the
prefrontal cortex, or sorry, I said I will not use difficult words just the frontal lobe, or the
front part of the brain, which is responsible for a lot of important issues like motivation, like
focus, like decision making willpower, all these things are essential for our survival. Yet,
		

			* has the power to actually damage or less or weaken that part of the brain. According to
the
		

			the Institute of Max Planck dimension
		

			in the study of 2014, that those who frequently view * have decreased brain cells. And
they said that it makes the brain smaller on average than those of men who do not view *.
Now, imagine this like, your brain becomes smaller that part of the brain becomes shrink literally
shrunk, and as a result, you started losing focus and losing control over your own action. Little
wonder why people will
		

			are complaining about the addiction, they would relapse again and again after millions of promises
that they've made to themselves that from now on, I'm not gonna watch * anymore, it's destroying
my life, it's messing up my system and so on, they go back to it and do the same thing again and
again. Why? Because that part of the brain becomes so weak and as a result, they are not in control
of their own action anymore. The good news and that's the lesson of today's episode. The good news
is that our brain is designed in a way that it can be shaped, more molded, and reshaped and rewired
as you pleased. In fact, you can train your brain
		

			as you wanted it to function, all what you need to do is to introduce to it a healthier way of life
healthier habits and enforce these habits by by the by by all means necessary so that you can create
pathways in your brain for those habits that will override the pathways of addiction. So I hope the
lesson of today was very beneficial I will include in the description or in the comments, more
		

			links to latest studies around this those who wanted to read more about brain alteration as a result
of * addiction so that you can enhance your knowledge around this because I always say the more
you know, the more you grow which means the more you know the harmful impact * most likely
if you're addicted your brain will resist and fight in a stronger manner because people the the go
back again and again to * but they don't know the damage. Do you feel anxious, they feel
depressed, the feel bad, they are not happy about what they're doing, but they don't know the actual
consequences of what they're doing. And once you know that, you become more resistant to your
		

			addiction and that's a positive thing in
		

			overall so I will leave you this for now I will include a few links in to make this program to make
this video series successful. I would request from you to really become proactive in dropping in the
comments your questions, I will collect your questions as I mentioned the description. I will
collect them or read them thoroughly. an hour will create every few episodes we'll create one video
to answer those questions. What I'm also planning to do is to invite people who are also experts in
the field, perhaps to interview them and to engage them in similar discussion. So this is my
passion. Everyone was watching so let's really make this program successful. If you could also share
		

			the video all what you need to do is just click share and say a few words this program is very
important beneficial can save lives if the come to know the harmful impact of * so I'll
see you soon. Thank you so much for watching and stay aware
