the similarities are far more numerous than not.

porn/masturbation addiction targets the pleasure receptors in your brain and excites your brain to release dopamine.

heroin does the same thing but "louder".

you're not addicted to the drug, you're addicted to the dopamine rush and feelings.

edit: downvote all you want, doesn't make my comment any less factual.

    I'm not downvoting you, but this doesn't explain why you get extreme physical withdrawals from heroin and not from porn.

    not porn alone.

    I guess somebody hasn't masturbated for 10 hours straight before. let me tell you, the backlash is insane enough to call in to work and then feel better enough to start all over for a whole new 12 hour marathon.

    besides that, the withdrawal from heroin is the bodies dependency on not only the heroin itself but the dopamine slingshot as well. again, you become addicted due to dopamine not the heroin itself. the drug is simply a vehicle to get the dopamine boost.
