[nlydorbb] Porn as intellectual entertainment

Hypothesize that, if you're going to consume media for entertainment, then pornography is better for your brain than anything else, including supposedly high class literature. The reasoning is that porn accompanied with masturbation forces the brain to intensely imagine things, almost similar to creative writing rather than reading.

A quick test would be the fMRI imaging of the brain in action consuming different subjects of entertainment media. The pleasure center will probably light up for all of them, but for porn, much more will also light up (of course), but we are particularly interested if the parts that are used for creative thinking and problem solving do.

Then, a more thorough study of how porn consumption, or amount of masturbation, correlates with the prevalence of mental degenerative disease of old (or not so old) age. This is inspired by the effect of people who do puzzles tend to keep their brain working for longer.

Assuming the eyes are part of the brain, the most ironic result could be that masturbation helps prevent blindness! (in contrast to the urban legend)
