Are we “attracted” to anything and everything that stimulates our brain to pleasure?

An attraction is where a force encourages an object or act to an object.
Two examples;
Gravity encourages the moon to go around the earth.
My thirst; and preferance of tea encourages me to drink the tea in front of me.

Our pleasure encourages us to seek it.Are we “attracted” to anything and everything that stimulates our brain to pleasure?

No. For example, we can be repelled by masturbation because it is a sin even though we know it’s pleasurable by having engaged in it before.

Many individuals would still be attracted to such a thing; it is just the case that they overcome these attractions with a far greater union with God.No. For example, we can be repelled by masturbation because it is a sin even though we know it’s pleasurable by having engaged in it before.
If we were not attracted to bad things; we would have no need for confession.

Note that you said many, and not all. I honestly believe that I find masturbation to be utterly repulsive even though I used to find it pleasurable when I was an atheist!Many individuals would still be attracted to such a thing; it is just the case that they overcome these attractions with a far greater union with God.

Also note that many people find strenuous exercise to be agonizing mentally and physically, but are attracted to it because it’s good for the body.

I’d say yes. Pleasure sensation leads to compulsive behavior and then to addictive behaviors.
Most people, combating addictive behaviors know their body no longer registers pleasure. However, the brain will lie to the body and continue to push for the pleasure it once felt.

Yes, that’s what I’m getting at. It seems that attraction to brain pleasurism is like a hill. The front side of the hill is where where we either have the moral strength to delay gratification or we don’t have the means and free will to become brain pleasure addicts. But once the moral roadblock is weakened or we develop the means and free will to indulge in brain pleasurism, then we have passed over the apex of the hill. Then, it seems, attraction to brain pleasurism grows stronger going down the hill. Then more one receives, the more one wants, and eventually into addiction. So, I’m very concerned about kids learning sex at a young age in a sexually loose society. Once they are exposed to early and often sex, they will become addicted to a shallow lifestyle. Humans are worth so much more than this.“Are we “attracted” to anything and everything that stimulates our brain to pleasure?”
