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'.

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.
