| 0:00.0 | From what you were talking about as far as dopamine and testosterone, this made me really curious, |
| 0:04.3 | and you're the guy who would really know about this. Now, the internet, you know, started getting |
| 0:10.1 | all wild. I think Mark, you know, I'm going to be going with this. The internet is starting |
| 0:13.5 | going wild around like 2005, 2006 or whatever, but I think millennials are the first generation that |
| 0:20.8 | we could really test what would happen when young kids got their hands on internet porn, right? |
| 0:26.2 | And it makes me curious because like it's dopamine like these young individuals are chasing dopamine |
| 0:32.8 | to be perfectly blunt. I was addicted to porn from the age of 11 to 24. That was the first time I |

| 1:11.5 | But I think there's like long-term disadvantages to that, correct? |
| 1:16.4 | Absolutely. And I think this conversation is now finally starting to emerge in the scientific |
| 1:21.2 | and academic literature. I mean, with no judgment whatsoever, right? Again, I'm not here to, |
| 1:28.0 | it's not a moral thing. I'm just talking about what I do as I look at things through the lens of |
| 1:32.5 | biology and in particular through neuroscience, but some other fields as well. We have to take a step |
| 1:38.9 | back and now knowing what we know about testosterone and dopamine and all these things and ask, |
| 1:43.6 | you know, what is pornography doing to the brain? Well, first of all, it's triggering the release |
