Watching a Lot of Porn Makes Men Stupid - Scientists



Too much porn can make men stupid, scientists have revealed.

A new study by German researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development found that men who overdose on porn have less grey matter, making their brains generally smaller than those of men who rarely watch porn. And not just that, these men  also have a smaller striatum - i.e. the part of the brain which processes 'rewards and motivation' - leading scientists to believe that pornography damages this function.

 The female leading author of the study, Simone Kühn, did point out however, that it wasn't clear whether watching porn leads to these brain changes or whether people born with certain brain types watch more porn but one thing was clear - less intelligent men love pornography.
