Stark koppling mellan social status och d2/3 receptorer hos människor:

..A correlation was seen between social status and dopamine D2/3 receptors, where volunteers with the higher status had higher values for [11C]raclopride BP. A similar correlation was seen with the perceived social support, where higher [11C]raclopride BP correlated with higher scores on the MSPSS.

Nofap stärker receptorerna - Mer upptag av dopamin resulterar i högre självförtroende, mer drivkraft/motiavtion, ökad libido och generellt "alfa"-beteende.

All addictions cause a decline in dopamine (D2) receptors, which is a major aspect of desensitization. First question: What's one primary biological difference between dominant and submissive primates? Answer: Dominant primates have higher levels of dopamine D2 receptors. They were not born with higher levels of D2 receptors - rather, "becoming" dominant caused the increase in D2 receptors. Second question: Could the benefits (confidence, sociability, motivation, less anxiety) men feel as they recover from porn addiction be related to an increase in D2 receptors an dopamine? (It's certainly not blood testosterone levels)

Without a doubt, some users may have chronically low dopamine or dopamine receptors to start with, but so many users notice improvements in outlook when they cut back on porn/masturbation, that we can't rule out the possibility that the habit itself further depresses dopamine levels.

Once the brain becomes less sensitive to dopamine, it "becomes less sensitive to natural reinforcers" such as the "pleasure of seeing a friend, watching a movie, or the curiosity that drives exploration." —Nora Volkow, Director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse
