00:00:00if i stay in hotels for a weekend and don't look at porn i i feel like i'm a saint i leave and like
00:00:05they should literally just like canonize the ones that you pay for like they're no i'm just on your
00:00:11phone i'm saying because it's like you have you're just isolated in this bunker you get off stage
00:00:15you're like i'm wired yeah you're like i need to go to bed i know exactly how i can fall asleep
00:00:20right now yeah and you go like no i'm not gonna i'll do it like four percent of the time and i'm
00:00:25just like man they're gonna canonize me after it's impossible it sounds like you're open about
00:00:32this with your wife otherwise she just yeah she's about it now she i've talked to her about it and uh
00:00:36now i'm off and i'm off i'm off the porn but i always i ask for her how was that how was the
00:00:40transition off the porn dude it's way better because you know now i'm four i swear to god
00:00:43once once you're 40 it's like 20s you can you can have like infinite boners you can be watching porn
00:00:48even now like i need to be ready if i'm fapped out yeah and the wife and i get the big call from i'm
00:00:54like no so now i'm just always i stay ready at all times i'm like just let me know that's it dude
00:01:02i'm just kidding no i'm gonna try that as well but not one of the uh is that one of the life hacks
00:01:06that comedians know that the health experts haven't cottoned on to that if you've just done a high
00:01:11stimulation activity that just a fat before bed is that's that's that's universal now it's got to be
00:01:19universal knowledge that i haven't heard that on the cuban lab podcast fat before sleep it's called
00:01:24a fat nap never heard of a fat nap i've never we've been doing this for generations
00:01:31my daddy was a fat napper and his daddy before well the thing is like every every comic probably every
00:01:36performer like music or otherwise but certainly for a comedian like the adrenaline spike you're getting
00:01:42off stage like usually like somebody different people get into something like there's the guys
00:01:48that go just drink their faces off or drugs or like eating or go out all night or jerk off like
00:01:54somebody like you have this this rush after and it's like the night's over like you're just like
00:02:00go back no girlfriends or wives on tour i mean girlfriend or wife on tour no i mean you are really
00:02:05freudian slipping your way through this i have one girlfriend she's awesome like i said i'm addressing
00:02:10yeah i'm addressing the audience can you uh but i'm not alive i'm also not a live show guy when i
00:02:15finish a podcast like a solo episode of my podcast i want to collapse man can you explain what's happening
00:02:21neurologically biochemically when the being on stage high stimulus a lot of focus a lot of
00:02:28adrenaline positive feedback and then what what is that what's going on i mean in a word arousal
00:02:34right i mean the catecholamines dopamine norepinephrine and epinephrine the catecholamines
00:02:38this little kit of of chemicals that are made in our brain and body right different ones different
00:02:44places etc we don't have to get into that but that cocktail is what's released under you know high
00:02:50arousal situations some are scary situations some are exciting but when you're a performer and you're
00:02:54getting that feedback then yeah you got a lot of dopamine norepinephrine and epinephrine so you're
00:03:00alert your focus so broadly speaking right the science crowd is getting a little pissed at me
00:03:04for this but broadly speaking the dopamine thing is going to want you having like more of whatever
00:03:09you're experiencing right higher higher threshold higher threshold okay epinephrine which is adrenaline
00:03:16makes your body alert and norepinephrine and released in the brain and you know and this is
00:03:21again generalizations increases focus for the thing that you're you know that you're pursuing right so you get
00:03:28off stage and those things are cranked to level 11 and i mean you could do some long exhale breathing
00:03:33you do a sauna but obviously you're out on tour yeah you want to bring it down a notch and you got to
00:03:37get on the bus or the plane the next day and go and so yeah and you know it can be hard to sleep man
00:03:42look evolution you know hardwired circuits so that the desire to you know ride this roller coaster up to
00:03:52this peak and then crash down again you know and and make sex you know ideally with somebody else
00:03:57you know but if apparently in your case if you're alone you know you're trying to find a way to do
00:04:01you're right so you know that that's it's that brings you into a so-called lower lower arousal
00:04:08parasympathetic state right and as dopamine goes up testosterone goes up in women and men
00:04:13okay and then after orgasm dopamine goes down and and a hormone which is basically a a hormone uh prolactin
00:04:22goes up and that sets the refractory period during which time you need a higher stimulus
00:04:29thing to get you aroused coolidge effect yeah the coolidge effect like in roosters this whole
00:04:33thing if you trade out the hens then they can continue to copy over and over again it's to some
00:04:37extent is is true in humans but um you know they're they're also i sort of joked about the tadalphil
00:04:44and that was it was indeed a joke but there there's some interesting things like if you want to
00:04:47play this game you can although i'm not sure i want to encourage your porn habit no no i'm not a
00:04:50porn guy but when you were saying like trying to turn it on like the refractory period the
00:04:54refractory period can be shortened yeah right by um blunting the prolactin response that can be done
00:05:01with taking something like p5p which is a it's related to vitamin b6 and it blunts prolactin somewhat
00:05:07um you know there are drugs which i don't recommend people take but these prescription drugs like
00:05:11cabergoline and things like that which um inhibit prolactin and you know there are communities like
00:05:18like in in the um like in the gay community like there's a big use of some of these drugs to have
00:05:23sort of kind of marathon sex type thing they'll use stimulants like meth right i have a friend who's a
00:05:28former meth addict he happens to be gay and i was like well i don't understand i've never done meth but
00:05:32i'm like what's the deal with meth and he's like oh the idea is you know marathon sex right and then
00:05:36when people get sober from meth hopefully um they lose their sex drive for a long long time these systems
00:05:42need to be recalibrated we're talking about extremes with drugs right one one reason why i'm not one of
00:05:47these like all porn is bad but one reason why i i personally am just not a fan of porn is i think
00:05:54it can you can dial in pretty much a higher and higher threshold thing without really having to do
00:06:00the work of going out and finding a relationship and i think a lot of younger guys who aren't married
00:06:04who don't have a relationship they don't know how to use it um kind of judiciously right yeah and there's
00:06:10no and and it never says no to them either so a lot of issues with porn in the younger younger
00:06:15crowd so i mean that's like for as comedians i feel like your your 20s into your 30s is probably the
00:06:21the time of the most consumption it is like you're alone of porn like you're alone you're a loser you're
00:06:27you're a loser you're you're also in a strange place like you're you know what i mean you have
00:06:33this like this isn't my environment right and you and then you throw in the the performing and getting
00:06:41bumped up from that and just being like looking for someone wanting to fuck you no yeah no we're
00:06:46comedians although are you kidding me don't give me that are you kidding me i didn't hear what you
00:06:54said i said i i was picking up on andrew's putting down you call the boys and fire up the meth pipe
00:06:58man yeah yeah let's go so you're saying if you take the stuff that suppresses prolactin that you can
00:07:04the refractory the refractory period is shortened yeah i want the refractory you want yeah so you're
00:07:09looking for some you're trying to optimize you're trying to you're looking for some peace and ease
00:07:14i want to pass out i want to yeah so i mean i don't know i mean i think we're um this seems like
00:07:19an age-old method i'm guessing you know of crank calming down hey listen better better better that
00:07:26better that than taking like a barbiturate right true a quick aside there is a stat that genuinely

Key Takeaway

Performance-induced adrenaline spikes cause a high-arousal catecholamine response, which can be managed by understanding the hormonal mechanism of the refractory period and the impact of dopamine on arousal thresholds.

Highlights

  • High-arousal activities like stage performances trigger a surge in catecholamines, specifically dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine.

  • Orgasm increases prolactin levels, which establishes the refractory period, the time required before physical arousal can occur again.

  • The refractory period is shortened by inhibiting the prolactin response using supplements like P5P, a vitamin B6 derivative, or pharmaceutical agents.

  • Porn consumption can create a high-threshold feedback loop where increasingly intense stimuli are required for arousal, potentially bypassing real-world relationship development.

  • High-arousal states post-performance are often managed through physical release, social interaction, or substances, though these methods vary in health impact.

Timeline

Neurology of Post-Performance Arousal

  • Stage performances trigger a release of catecholamines, including dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine.
  • High-arousal states from intense focus or excitement result in elevated alertness and energy levels.
  • Performing artists often seek post-show release methods to return to a parasympathetic state.

Performing induces a significant adrenaline spike, leaving the brain and body in a highly alert state. Catecholamines drive this focus and excitement. After such events, performers often experience difficulty decompressing, leading them to seek various methods, including exercise or other high-stimulation behaviors, to transition into a calmer physiological state.

Hormonal Dynamics and Refractory Periods

  • Dopamine increases testosterone, while orgasm triggers a subsequent rise in prolactin.
  • Prolactin levels dictate the duration of the refractory period, during which higher stimuli are needed to achieve further arousal.
  • The Coolidge effect in animal studies demonstrates that introducing new partners can overcome the typical refractory period.

Physiologically, the pursuit of high-arousal states involves a cycle of peaking adrenaline followed by a crash. Post-orgasm, the body experiences a rise in prolactin, which initiates a recovery phase known as the refractory period. This hormonal shift creates a temporary barrier to further arousal that requires specific physiological changes to overcome.

Managing Arousal and Thresholds

  • The refractory period can be shortened by blunting the prolactin response with supplements such as P5P or specific pharmaceutical interventions.
  • Persistent consumption of high-stimulation content like pornography can raise the threshold required for natural arousal.
  • Fiber intake is essential for gut health, nutrient absorption, and overall systemic recovery.

Methods exist to manipulate the refractory period, such as the use of P5P to blunt prolactin, though professional medical advice is implied as necessary. Excessive reliance on high-stimulation content, such as pornography, may permanently shift an individual's arousal threshold. Additionally, maintaining gut health through adequate fiber intake supports broader physiological stability and recovery.
