Why do I get pleasure from pain?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Endorphins that are released in painful experiences are often perceived as pleasurable. Stress and pain can also stimulate the serotonin and melatonin production in the brain, which transforms painful experiences into pleasure. The release of epinephrine and norepinephrine in pain can also cause a pleasurable 'rush'.

Severe itching and cysts can be distressing and embarrassing. _Possible Causes_ 1. _Folliculitis_: Inflammation of hair follicles, often caused by bacterial or fungal infections. 2. _Keratosis pilaris_: A skin condition characterized by rough, dry patches and ingrown hairs. 3. _Seborrheic dermatitis_: A skin condition causing scaly, itchy patches. 4. _Cysts_: Blocked pores or ingrown hairs can cause cysts. _Home Remedies and Self-Care_ 1. _Exfoliate regularly_: Gently exfoliate the affected area with a gentle scrub or a chemical exfoliant containing alpha-hydroxy acids (AHAs) or beta-hydroxy acids (BHAs). 2. _Keep the area clean_: Wash the affected area with a mild soap and lukewarm water. 3. _Apply warm compresses_: Soak a clean cloth in warm water, wring it out, and apply it to the affected area to help bring the cyst to a head and encourage drainage. 4. _Avoid scratching_: Try to resist scratching the affected area to prevent further irritation and infection. _Medical Treatments_ 1. _Topical creams or ointments_: Over-the-counter (OTC) or prescription creams or ointments containing ingredients like hydrocortisone, salicylic acid, or tea tree oil may help alleviate symptoms. 2. _Oral antibiotics_: If the cysts are infected, your doctor may prescribe oral antibiotics to help clear the infection. 3. _Minor surgical procedures_: In some cases, your doctor may recommend minor surgical procedures, such as draining the cyst or removing it entirely.

I've been trying to stop watching porn and it's really hard. I've tried different things like going to the gym and playing outdoor games to keep busy, but the urge is still there. I'm looking for advice on how I can overcome this habit. Any suggestions would be really helpful.
To overcome the urge to watch porn, consider combining your existing physical activities with additional strategies: identify triggers, practice mindfulness and meditation, seek support from friends, family, or a therapist, utilize website blockers or apps like Freedom, SelfControl, or Cold Turkey, and engage in hobbies or creative pursuits that promote emotional fulfillment and self-expression.
