I am watching porn 2 times In a week. Is it okay or harmful For futures sex life. please suggest. thanks.

Question

STEP 1: You start off watching regular porn - couples, normal sex etc. Then you get a big wave of dopamine release which makes you really enjoy it and keeps you focused and not needing to open any more tabs. STEP 2: Sometimes people watch porn for hours every day which after a while will produce far too much dopamine, so the dopamine receptors desensitize so that the excess dopamine can't bind in the brain. STEP 3: The problem with this is activities such as socialising with friends, eating and working which should produce normal levels of dopamine then become boring and can make you depressed and anxious - because your receptors are desensitised so even though normal dopamine levels are being produced, there is a lack of receptors to bind to which gives the feeling of low dopamine in situations that should provide normal dopamine levels. STEP 4: The only way to now achieve normal dopamine levels is by doing an activity that triggers high dopamine release - people will now turn to excess junk food, gaming, alcohol, drugs, sex and porn.
