Watching porn is too much for one part of your brain
4/19/2012While one part of the body turns decidedly on when you settle down for a night of hot porn, new research indicates that part of your brain shuts completely off. Viewing erotic movies apparently subdues the section of the brain that processes visual stimuli. This is surprising since watching movies typically sends blood flow to this part of the brain. "Not so when the movies are explicit," reports LiveScience. "Instead, the brain seems to shunt blood." Now we're no neuroscientists, but we think we have a good guess where all that blood goes.
Does it surprise you that porn shuts down part of the brain?
