Warning when watching porn: your brain changes
To kick things off nicely: 71 percent of men watch porn. I find that a bit low, considering the claim that ‘all men watch porn and whoever says otherwise is lying’. By the way, we women account for 30 percent.
That watching porn together spices up your sex life, we knew that. And that between three and five in the afternoon is when most porn is watched. Here are some porn moves you can try out. Or the best sites for women. Now that I've overwhelmed you with all this porn trivia, I need to give you a parental advisory right away. Porn changes your brain.
If you do something often enough, your brain creates a highway instead of a quiet B-road. It all goes a bit faster when you have to do it next time. It's also necessary for your brain to work this way because we need to adapt to new things. When you expose your brain, you develop it; it's that simple. But, of course, it does depend a bit on what you expose it to. By the way, I got this wisdom from neuropsychologist Margriet Sitskoorn, who mentioned it on NPO Radio 1.
What you do a lot develops, what you do little does not. So it could very well be that sex with your boyfriend or girlfriend is no longer that attractive, but the chance of pleasure through porn is. That's where the addictive part lies, the chance of something. The more often you do it, the faster your brain registers it as a habit, until it becomes a necessity. And a necessity becomes an addiction. There you are.
Cuddling up on the couch to watch a night of porn isn't necessary for most people, by the way. Filling your screen with erotic escapades for about (let's say) 10 to 20 minutes is sufficient. Well, now you know that. Enjoy, but do it in moderation.
8 reasons why you want the Philips Lumea now
For a few weeks now, my life has changed. May introduced me to Lumi. Yes, we are women, we give things a name. Cars, bags, and yes, also hair removal devices; I can't help it. Anyway, Lumi is in my life. And Lumi and I have turned out to be a great match. Where I always thought that hair removal at home with a hair removal device wasn't for me (complicated or something? Takes too long?), I must say that so far I find it a damn handy thing. Fast. Painless. So it's time for an ode to Lumi.
For everyone who also wants smooth armpits, legs, upper lip, and/or bikini line this summer, this is why you also want a Philips Lumea (aka Lumi) in your life:
1. This IPL device is fast. And by fast, I mean 8.5 minutes for both your lower legs. I mean, that's a series of switches and a bit of flashing in between. You do your armpits in a minute and a half. What are we talking about?
2. This brings me to the next important point. It works. Just try it three/four times and you'll notice that all your hairs have become at least 90 percent less.
3. Speaking of those hairs, because they go into a ‘sleep mode’, they almost completely disappear after the first two months of using the Lumea device. And after that, you only need to maintain it every 4 to 8 weeks. How chill is that on vacation? Bye bye razor, cuts, and mess in the shower.
4. No. It. Really. Doesn't. Hurt. This was what I was most afraid of. Would it be intense? Until May did it on me and I actually felt a bit embarrassed. I um, felt nothing. Just a little warm flash. Actually, it was quite nice.
5. Look, I won't call it cheap for that 550 euros, but an investment? Absolutely. The lamps last up to 20 years, so Lumi is here to stay. And since you only need it every two weeks, you can easily share it with your sister or friend. That saves again.
6. The Philips Lumea is the only IPL device that can be used both corded and cordless. Super handy for when you're not near a power outlet.
7. You can try the device for 90 days to see if it's for you. But believe me, once it's in your life (of course Lumi is a she), you won't want to be without it.
8. And if point 7 isn't enough, you can buy the Philips Lumea with €80 cashback for a limited time. So click quickly. here You can thank me later. On to summer!.
