Porn can make you go blind, ladies

Dr. Gert Holstege, a uroneurologist for the University of Groningen Medical Centre in the Netherlands, reports in this months Journal of Sexual Medicine (J Sex Med 2012;9:1579-1587) that watching porn can make you go blind. Ladies, that is:

Watching high-intensity erotic, but not low-intensity erotic movies, compared to neutral movies resulted in strong de-activation of the primary (BA 17) and adjoining parts of the secondary visual cortex. Conclusions.  The strong de-activation during watching high-intensity erotic film might represent compensation for the increased blood supply in the brain regions involved in sexual arousal, also because high-intensity erotic movies do not require precise scanning of the visual field, because the impact is clear to the observer.

So there you have it.
