We are not growing up addicted to novelty . This is how our brains have always worked . Internet porn , and especially tube sites , only gave us an easy and cheap outlet to vent this natural craving . It ' s like everything else we always had drugs , yet it took a while for us to get to crack cocaine , heroin and meth we always had performance entertainment , yet now we have endless streams of movies , series and youtube videos . Same goes for junk food . This is slowly leading us to a Brave New World type of problem , in which that which we love is starting to kill us . In order to survive this , we must evolve and develop mechanisms to overcome this basal instincts that no longer serve us . It seems to me you ' re doing a good job of it , so keep it up !
