What this video is really talking about is addiction. What causes addiction and why people get addicted to certain things in the first place. He also talks about internet and cell phone addiction and how they affect the reward centers of the brain.
NoFap has gained a lot of traction lately as many young men are noticing high speed internet porn's highly addictive properties. Some are noticing worsened confidence, high anxiety and even being improperly diagnosed with ADHD without thinking that what they do in private could be affecting them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DclqE-9vFgY NoFap (fap: an internet slang term for male masturbation) is a website and community forum that serves as a support group for those who wish to avoid pornography and masturbation. Beliefs After abstaining from porn and masturbation for a period of time, some of NoFap's users claim, among others, "dramatic increases in social confidence, energy, concentration, mental acuity, motivation, self-esteem, emotional stability, happiness, sexual prowess, and attractiveness to the opposite sex".Some NoFap users say their brains were warped by porn, at the expense of real relationships. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NoFap

Interesting what the one guy said about addiction. The feel good chemicals produced by the brain isn't what makes you feel good, it makes you anticipate feeling good. It's the journey being more powerful than the destination type of thing. A powerful angle for forming positive addictions.
