The proliferation of pornography has had a profound impact on modern society. Today, we’re seeing how the normalization of pornography can lead to addiction in a similar way to other forms of addiction – as an ineffective coping mechanism and a quick “mental energy” boost. The same root cause approach that Ketamine infusion therapy uses to target Substance abuse disorders, eating disorders, alcoholism and PTSD can be used to effectively target the root cause of pornography addiction to decrease cravings and the desire to use.
The Science Behind Pornography Addiction
When a person watches pornography, dopamine and oxytocin are released in the brain, generating high levels of excitement. These potent neurochemicals are linked to euphoria, bliss, motivation, and concentration. This may lead people to become addicted to this quick fix, especially with the normalization and how socially accepted its use is.

How Can Ketamine Therapy Help?
Pornography addiction is generally a symptom of an underlying issue that is usually a blind spot to the patient. At Illuminate IV Therapy, we treat patients with ketamine infusions and NeuroSomatic Bliss to target the root cause by utilizing psychedelic therapy to break down the blind spots and barriers, process and integrate it into daily life. During our 3.5-week protocol, Ketamine facilitates a period of significantly increased neuroplasticity. During this time, individuals can rewire their desires, cravings and susceptibility to pornography, leading them on the path of recovery and hope.
