AV正在毁灭我们的性生活

译者 kffkenshin

Young men in their 20s apparently have no groove in bed — and it's all because they're addicted to pornography, according to a report in Psychology Today.

 　　据《今日心理学》‘Psychology Today’报道，因为AV，现在二十出头的年轻人显然不会觉得性爱枯燥。

But the problem is much more serious than simply either being good or bad in the sack, it's a  physiological   issue causing a new generation of men to lose their libidos 30 years sooner than expected.

How did this happen?

　　为啥会这样呢？

According to the report, overexposure to sexually explicit images and video have caused men to lose interest in ordinary sexual encounters — including experiences with a real woman:

　　报告指出，过分沉迷于AV会导致男性对正常的性爱失去兴趣-包括与真实女人做爱：

Today's users can force [their] release by watching porn in multiple windows, searching endlessly, fast-forwarding to the bits they find hottest, switching to live sex chat, viewing constant novelty, firing up their mirror neurons with video action and cam-2-cam, or escalating to extreme genres and anxiety-producing material. It's all free, easy to access, available within seconds, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

　　在网络发达的今天，人们可以通过看AV来发泄欲望，无穷的搜索，迅速的进入他们找到的最火辣的站点，色情聊天室，持续的新刺激，经裸聊或视频刺激他们的神经。1天24小时，1周7天，无时无刻全可免费观看且容易获取。

After a period of time, excessive porn watchers overstimulate a neurochemical in their bodies called dopamine — the drive behind every "want" and "desire" that humans feel we need to "overcome." But with your libido in constant drive mode, your dopamine reaction will become numb and, eventually, you won't be aroused by the same experiences as before.

This occurrence is similar to veteran drug-users describing their need for stronger mind-inducing chemicals in order to receive the same "high" they once had. In the same way, porn-addicted men will need more extreme sexual experiences to feel the same kind of arousal.

　　这种情况类似于瘾君子急需药物来达到那种曾经有过的亢奋状态。同样的，沉迷于AV的人需要极端的性爱情景来达到高潮。

It's an endless cycle and if you think Viagra will help, you're wrong.

　　这是个死循环，而且伟哥都帮不了你。

Sexual-enhancement drugs work by breaking down a blood vessel dilator called cGMP and this is what causes an erection. If your libido is over worked, the drugs can only cause a physical erection, but a pleasurable sensation cannot be achieved.

　　性爱辅助药物是通过破坏血管扩张器即cGMP来达到勃起效果的。如果你纵欲了，药物只会引起勃起，但是无法达到高潮。

The only cure is to avoid internet erotica at all costs, but this will be "one of the most difficult things you've ever done," says the study.

　　唯一的解决办法是不惜一切远离网络色情，但这会成为“不可能的任务”，研究称。

In order to have "normal" sex again, a "reboot" period — six to 12 weeks — is needed by completely letting go of your pornographic nature. Addicts can experience a temporary loss of libido altogether as well as "insomnia, irritability, panic, despair, concentration problems, and even flu-like symptoms."

　　为了重新过上正常性生活，重启期--离开AV6到12周--是必不可少的。瘾君子们除了丧失力比多之外还会经历如“失眠，暴躁，恐慌，低落，注意力丢失，甚至一些类似感冒的症状。”
