I don't know what to think of this study. It claims that people, more-
so for certain people, will go blind after seeing pornographic images or super gorey ones. I think the use of the word "blind" is just fun because of the stereotype of masturbation making you go blind. Becasue it would seem like people were just distracted more than unable to see.
But what is interesting is that they think the brain might work differently for shocking images than common ones. But I have to think about my whole porn addiction theory. I wonder if people who get addicted to porn are similar to people who get addicted to gore? I mean, it would be nice if all of Gwar's fans were also fans of irony but some of them are completely serious.
Also, I just think the link between sex and violence is always fascinating.
