Porn & Masturbation are Harmful to your Health.

I would like to open the last round by looking at con's opening statement in round 3: "I didn't have anything to say about porn that would not have counted as a rebuttal." Ok, fine. But you did have the chance in round two to make your arguments of why you believe porn is good. You failed to do this however giving me an edge in the point. I will now like to point out some of the errors made by con in his rebuttals of my arguments: "The idea that alcoholism and pornography have related issues is ridiculous." Con, did you even look at the article? The study was done by Cambridge University. Cambridge University is a very well known University. "If I have one salad for dinner I'm fine." So if I look at porn and masturbate once per day I will be fine? I don't think so. As stated porn and masturbation causes a release in dopamine. Your body will want to receive more and more over time. Soon your masturbation and porn use will become 2 or more times per day because your body wants that release. "after looking at lifesitenews.com I determined that it is a very socially right wing website, and will have biases against topics such as masturbation. " Well, I could say that planned parenthood is pro masturbation, but either way the Cambridge Study on the website is what we are looking at. "Given the fact that this dopamine is being created by the brain-for the brain, the idea that it's unnatural holds no water." Con has twisted my argument here. I didn't say that dopamine is unnatural in the brain, but that UNNATURAL LEVELS of dopamine within the brain is a bad thing. "It's not good to lose dopamine receptors, but it's not necessarily harmful." Con has conceded that losing dopamine receptors is not good, but I don't believe he fully understands how dopamine works in the brain, and why losing these receptors is a very bad idea. When we look at porn, or masturbate, dopamine is released within the brain. Dopamine is our feel good hormone that sends the message to the penis, and causes us to receive an erection, and be happy. When we flood our brains with dopamine with daily masturbation or porn use, our brain starts to take away the dopamine receptors. As we lose the dopamine receptors, our brain, and body cannot receive the signal as well. When all the receptors are gone, the body can no longer receive the signal going out, and we have a very hard time saluting our wife or girlfriend if you get my picture. These is the main reason why P.I.E.D. has become a problem. "I don't consider Doctor Oz to be a reliable source either" OK, that is your personal opinion. However, let me point out that Doctor Oz himself wasn't who I quoted within my argument. I quoted Ian Kerner who hold a PhD and is a sexual counselor. I also quoted Andrew Kramer who is a urologist MD. I believe both of these two people would hold some credit. "I'll start this rebuttal by pointing out that this claim by Pro voids the resolution" I have not voided my resolution with the statement that has been made. I have stated that masturbation can cause penile shrinkage as the study points out. Masturbation can also cause penis skin irritation, loss of senitivity (flood of dopamine), dry penis skin, breaking of the penis skin, and possible urethal damage. I believe all of us have also heard of a penile "break". I believe I have also pointed out that masturbation floods the brain with dopamine which over time causes loss of the dopamine receptors. "While it sucks that Pro has to go through this, it's unrelated to the resolution. Pro resolved that masturbation and porn are harmful. Unless Pro cannot get an erection because his penis fell off, he was not harmed by porn or masturbation." How is my personal story unrelated to the resolution stated? I have given my personal story of how porn/masturbation has ruined my life, and how I am trying to get my life, and sex life back in normal order. Porn and masturbation can become very addictive, and very hard to break loss from. If someone doesn't believe this fact, try not masturbating or looking at porn for 30 days. I challenge you. How many of you wouldn't even make it past the first 4 days? I want to close by stating that I believe I have made my arguments for why porn and masturbation are bad for your health. I hope that as people vote on this debate, they will vote based off how each side presented their arguments, and not on their own personal belief on the subject. I thank con for being willing to debate this topic with me.
