A study suggests that viewing pornography can lead to immediate cognitive performance declines, specifically in attention and executive functions, indicators of cognitive health risks. Participants demonstrated slower reaction times and increased errors on cognitive tests after watching a 10-minute pornographic video. This short-term impairment raises concern over potential long-term implications, as continued exposure may contribute to cognitive decline and, possibly, dementia. Given the prevalence of pornography use in the U.S., particularly among younger adults, understanding these effects is paramount for cognitive health and risk mitigation.
A growing body of research indicates that regular exposure to pornographic material can lead to cognitive impairments affecting attention and executive function, early warning signs of dementia.
After viewing a 10-minute sexually explicit video, participating students exhibited significantly slower reaction times and made more errors in cognitive tasks, highlighting potential long-term cognitive health risks.
