How To Recover Brain After Porn Addiction (Speed Things Up)
How To Recover Brain After Porn Addiction
In this article I'm sharing tools and tips on how you can potentially help speed up brain recovery after porn addiction.
Start by watching the video below. It contains 7 powerful brain healthy tips.
In the blog post I share additional tips that is not included in the video, so make sure to also read the the article.
This video is also published on my YouTube channel Project Stronger Self.
Since I don't want to make videos that are too long, I left out a few tips.
So, let's continue in text form, with a few additional ways that may potentially help speed up brain recovery after a porn addiction.
#8 Inositol
Inositol used to be called vitamin B8, but as it turns out, it's not a vitamin. It's actually a type of carbohydrate, or sugar, that influences insulin and is crucial for cell signaling in your body.
Inositol is naturally found in the body, in different foods and is also available as a dietary supplement.
The reason why I include inositol in the list of tools that may potentially help brain recover after porn is because there are some evidence that shows how it can help increase dopamine D2 receptor density in the brain.
And as you know by now, dopamine receptor density really takes a toll in addictions.
You can easily find Inositol in any well equipped health stor or on the internet. Just make sure choose a reputable and high quality brand.
Do I use it myself?
Sometimes. Not continuously.
It's very difficult to say if, or how much, it affects your dopamine receptors since upregualtion tends to take time.
In fact, unless there are exact research on things like that, it's impossible to say. There is a 12 week study, showing an increase in dopamine receptors, but this study is done on guinea pigs, not on humans.
What I do notice instantly, however, is that it helps to reduce my anxiety levels. Which is a very nice bonus, since anxiety is something I struggle with, from time to time.
This tool is probably not as effective as intermittent fasting and physical exercise, at least not when it comes to the quality of the overall health impact. But it's still an interesting tool for those who are into supplements…
…a tool that may indeed help speed things up.

#9 Sunshine
Sunshine has also been shown to increase both dopamine as well as dopamine receptors and thus it makes sense it could potentially help speed up your recovery as well.
A study made on 68 participants, using single photon emission computed tomography, showed that dopamine D2 and D3 availability was significantly increased in subjects with high sunshine exposure.
My own experience…
Well, I lik to get outside in the nature almost every chance I get and it doesn't surprise me in the least that healthy things like this can help restore your dopamine system.
I remember having several dates during one summer of my reboot. I actually found that sunbathing boosted my libido, which could be an indicator that it really does help your dopamine system. As per research.
It's cheap too.
And, hey, just as long as you are not burning your skin, it's definitely not something you have to worry about having negative side effects.
#10 Socializing
Did you know that socializing can also increase both your dopamine as well as dopamine receptors?
This is especially true if you're doing something in a group where you are the most competent one (status). However, the reason I'm including this is actually more so because of sexual conditioning.
You see, porn addicts have conditioned their sexuality (or parts of it) to respond more to pixels on a screen, rather than to real life people, and socializing helps rewire your brain back to the brain's natural state (socializing helps – even if you're not being sexual).
And if you didn't already know, this conditioning of sexual responses is one of the biggest factors behind porn induced erectile dysfunction (PIED).

My own experience…
During my own reboot I pushed my comfort zone hard, from time to time, to help my social anxiety as well as my rewiring process.
That said, I'm an incurable introvert and to be honest, most of the times, I hate parties and big social gatherings. This even years after having overcome my porn addiction. Nothing wrong with that…it's just who I am.
A lot of people do find themselves losing all of their anxiety and becoming super extroverted after quitting pron, though. We're all different.
#11 AlphaViril

AlphaViril is a testosterone booster that also increase dopamine. It is formulated to help with libido and erections, which obviously dopamine and testosterone are a big part of. In fact, dopamine and testosterone are they key drivers behind powering your libido and your erections.
Now, this supplement won't speed up the brain recovery per se, but I still wanted to include it on this page as it can help with the rewiring process precisely because of its erection-boosting properties.
And, since I've been using this product myself, I get a lot of questions about it.
Let me clarify, by helping with the rewiring process, I simply mean that the following…
Many guys are scared to start the second part of the reboot, which is the rewiring part. This is very understandable since porn induced sexual problems can really make the confidence take a hit.
Yet, rewiring is a necessary part of rebooting, since all the years of fapping to porn has conditioned the brain to respond more to pixels on a screen than to real life people.
Helpful tool only…
And since AlphaViril seems to help many guys with their erections, even if not fully rebooted, it can give them the confidence needed to put themselves out there and rewire, when they otherwise perhaps would bee too scared to do so.
However, one more time I need to point out that AlphaViril is neither a cure for PIED nor will it help speed up brain recovery. Other than the secondary effect from giving added courage….
…rewiring does speed things up, after all.
So, one last time, AlphaViril is to be considered a helpful tool only, not a cure!
My own experience…
I used AlphaViril myself during my own reboot and it actually did a much better job for my libido and erections than what prescription ED drugs did (I tried those too).
This is because AlphaViril targets multiple areas of the sexual mechanism, whereas Viagra, Cialis and alike, only work on blood flow.
Even though I'm fully cured from my porn addiction and its negative effects today, I still use it from time to time when I want a boost. Since it worked back when I was struggling, it works even better now when I'm healed. One can literally feel the horniness pulsating in the veins after taking it and it makes sex feel even more amazing normal.

The testosterone increase is a nice added bonus as well.
