People addicted to watching pornography on the internet are in danger of suffering short-term memory loss which can have a major impact on their lives, according to new research. German scientists studied the part of the brain responsible for keeping information in the mind while using it to complete a task, critical for understanding, reasoning, problem solving and decision making.
The research findings prove that 'Sexual arousal interferes with working memory, an important facet of executive functioning,' said study author Christian Laier, a graduate student studying under psychologist Matthias Brand. Because the current study focused solely on heterosexual men, it is impossible to say whether the findings would apply to gay men or to women.
'It is at its first stage,' said Laier. 'Our results need to be tested with respect to gender and sexual orientation to verify.'
The study was published in November in the Journal of Sex Research.
