"Herbal remedies white mulberry (Morus alba), noni fruit (Morinda citrifolia), magnolia bark (Magnolia officinalis), and licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra) get rid of excess dopamine and should be avoided when increasing dopamine is your goal. (13, 14, 15, 16)"


Well, what does anyone think? Worth trying....?

Hi Depressed.  Good thing you are asking questions.  I would answer the question this way.  Our goal is not to get more dopamine, but to live with the dopamine nature, naturally, gives us.  Porn allows, is a mechanism by which, we can bypass nature, and spike our dopamine levels, over and over again, until it becomes addictive.  Part of overcoming the addiction is learning to live with far less dopamine rushes than porn allows us to obtain, not looking for other ways to spike it.

Right.

The problem is that we get massive hits of dopamine from porn... but it is also that nothing else compares, and the stuff we SHOULD be getting dopamine hits from give us nothing.  If you look at many of the reboot techniques, they often involve finding ways to get dopamine from non-porn/non-masturbatory/non-computer things, like exercise, hobbies, relationships and so forth.  Reboot success stories also involve reports of increased pleasure and accomplishment in areas that would have been numb before, like the arts.  To simply tranquilize ourselves and reduce dopamine overall might be dangerous, as it could lead to serious depression.  That said, I doubt the supplements really do enough to worry about.  A healthy diet in general seems to help balance pretty much everything, so if you're looking to help yourself in the area of your mouth, that could be the way to go.
