- Reading porn improves brain connectivity
A study performed at Emory University detected biological changes in brain chemistry related to reading a book that you feel changed your life. These findings suggest that reading a novel may cause changes in resting-state connectivity of the brain that persist beyond the point when you stop reading. The connection between the left temporal cortex of the brain is heightened and this lingers. This is a heightened sense of healthy brain activity.
- Stronger connection with the characters having sex
According to the same study above, reading also increases activity in the central sulcus of the brain. This is the part of the brain responsible for primary sensory-motor activity. That means when we read something, your brain reacts as if you were the protagonist, rather than offer you a passive view of what is occurring.
If you want to imagine yourself having sex with Natasha Romanoff or Thor, you’re better to read the story rather than watch the story.

Because of the above immersion factor, reading is known to reduce symptoms of depression. It is a function of release to engage the imagination and experience possibility through reading about other lives. Also, passive watching increases learned helplessness. A hopeful attitude to problem-solving becomes absent over time.
- Reading increases the capacity of your working memory
Reading is actually a good workout for the brain. We all know this. But some research now suggests that reading might enhance reasoning and problem-solving. These days working memory is considered to be the basis for general intelligence and reasoning. Those who can hold many items in their mind are better equipped to consider different angles of a complex problem simultaneously.
- Readers develop strength in their attention spans
A longer attention span assists with wiring pieces of information together over a period of time. It’s an essential component in crystalised intelligence or the ability to use experience, knowledge, and the products of a lifetime of education to develop ideas. Long-term attention span helps you make the most of any information you have stored in your short and long-term memory up till now.
