Is posting on Facebook as enjoyable as sex?



Food, sex and Facebook posting views. It’s what your brain likes best.

The reward given by a person’s brain when a Facebook posting of theirs is viewed, liked and commented on has proven to be comparable in pleasure to the response from food and sex, according to a recent Harvard University study.



The research, which was published last month in an edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, found that social media outlets give way to an increased rate of “self-disclosure.” The increase in “self-disclosure” leads to a spike in the amount of dopamine produced based on the pleasure or anticipation of a reward as a result of a social-media post being viewed, according to the research.

    I post on Facebook all the time and I don't get all horny when I get a request to 'Bubble Safari'.

    That being said, I am not qualified to compare.

    forever alone

    Okay, now that I have your attention, the question is worded wrong and does not accurately relate to the study. The study merely states that comparable amounts of dopamine are released when getting responses to personal posts, as when eating or having sex, giving a similar amount of mental/emotional satisfaction. Obviously eating does not give you an orgasm either but apparently it also releases a significant amount of dopamine. It is not really about what is more or less "enjoyable".
    That being said, I have to admit that I personally don't even care for being touched, food is not comforting and social media...I can take it or leave it...so maybe all three really are related.

    Facebook, as with sodahead, is good for sharing thoughts. Making love however shares so much more and nothing can compare to that.

    I think that was the plan the creators of this site had in mind. Next they'll have a rehab section for the addiction. LOL

    Their plan is to keep us here forever.
