COMMENTS: Two landmark studies demonstrating that separate circuits exist for compulsive sugar consumption – or as YBOP calls it, ‘a binge mechanism‘. It has always been thought that behavioral addictions arise from only alterations of “normal circuits”. While this does occur, it is now evident that separate ‘bingeing circuits’ also exist. This makes evolutionary sense. […]

Subreddit NoFap Movement Takes The World By Storm You may have wondered why internet porn has become so freely available on the internet these days, if you’re a young male with a little bit of spare time on his hands, no pun intended, then it is pretty easy to fall into a dark spiral of […]
