Physical acts are not a drug. Yes an association to a specific act creates in the person's mind the exact thing to do to achieve a sensation...the act itself though is no drug.

The addiction or pursuit of a specific stimulus...a specific feeling and or sensation is not a drug either. ie...I love roller coasters...can't get enough of the things. It could never be classified as an addiction though. If ti were, it would be my own brain and body's reaction to an outside stimulus that I'd be addicted to. Being as the sensations develop from within, naturally on their own...would be like saying I'm addicted to my nail and hair growth.

Don't confuse naturally occuring positive feelings with addiction. Especially since addiction creates a sense of...need.

Actually, one could say that the chemicals released during orgasm are drugs, because they effect your mind in some way. (Some really fucking pleasureable way, as it is)

certain drugs release drugs within our brain, we "feel" high from the "natural" chemical washing across certain nero-receptors, not the actual drug we ingest. certain actions/processes release similar or different amounts of these drugs. Heroin releases a drug called THQ & that is what we feel, not the heroin. certain actions/drugs release seratonin along with hundreds of other compounds @ the same time that is what gets us "high". OCD's mimic certain chemicals that release the "feel good" ones. one's brain can be rewired to release it's stores of chemicals by behaviors/actions. if you ask me, & i'm just an old addict, life is a drug, it is addicting! r:rasta:

Porn isn't a drug, but it is very addictive. I think alot of people look at porn to get turned on.
