For every thought there is a chemical cascade that washes over the body.

THOUGHTS MATTER Stop the Fiery Darts!
Because of the way that the brain is
wired, it is prone to pick up on sexually
relevant cues. Looking at pornography
triggers memories about how to
respond to these cues and a chemical
cascade is set off and the psychological,
emotional and behavioral response
begins. Be careful about rewiring the
brain where a behavioral addiction is
easily formed.
SEXuality
Anger floods the middle part of the
brain, draining blood from the higher
(thinking) part of the brain. The
thinking brain goes from pink to white,
as it’s ability is compromised. It is
important to avoid the flooding that
can cause one to do something ‘they
would never think of doing if they were
in their right mind’.
