>There are many studies connecting stuttering with an imbalance of the Dopamine system, specifically the basil ganglia That wasnt my question. I feel that this is anecdotal at best, especially considering the vast majority of cases occure way before maturbation is introduced. >Subsequently there are also peer reviewed studies which discuss pornography and it’s negative implications on our dopamine circuitry. It down regulates receptors and causes a variety of issues with our brains. Doesnt this assume that you have a healthy "dopamine circuitry" from the start? You mentioned the connections between dopamine and stuttering, which I agree with by the way, these studies you talk about insinuate we have something causing the dopamine imbalance from stuttering onset. The whole concept of stopping masturbation will restore our dopamine circuitry...restore it to what? To the shitty dopamine circuitry we had from the get go? Lol
