    IT’S ALL ABOUT THE (TEEN) BRAIN

    Medical educator and physician Dr. Gary Rose has a lot to say about the neurochemistry of sex, and how it enables the permanent “warping” of young minds by exposure to a hyper-sexualized culture. In a recent interview, Dr. Rose explains the mechanism by which the damage is done.

    Dr. Rose: “This is so important because in young people their brains are still being molded. If they are getting the wrong flood of chemicals -- if their neural pathways are being developed in an abnormal way, those parts of the brain will be superhighways that can't be changed when they come into adult life. People who have multiple sexual partners at a young age are likely going to continue to have multiple partners all their lives. Certain synapses of the brain will be pruned off -- and risk-avoidance and delayed gratification may be affected.”
