your brain on porn

Hello. I’m new here. The book “Your brain on Porn” has brought me here. I have been an active porn user for 25 years. From ages 14-39. After reading the book I realized some of the problems I was having in relationships, sex , life fulfilling activities, work out motivation and such, just...

literally this. Watching a man or woman engage in sexual intercourse destroys us all. Everyone is unaware of the damage it causes to the brain, but this damage is not irreversible. Many of us wonder whether we will have a clear brain like before or whether our connections between neurons will be...

I'm a 24-year-old from Japan. Recently, at a bookstore, I happened to find "Your Brain On Porn" by Gary Wilson (It has been translated into Japanese and has come to be highly evaluated also in my country!). Having bought and read it, I was astonished to find so many bad things that have been...

Just quite curious to know, as mentioned in the book YBOP as well, that porn impacts the development of our frontal lobes and reduction in grey matter. Anyone went far enough to do scan of his brain to find out how rebooting/recovering is changing the dynamics of his brain? Would be quite...

Found this documentary today, very relatable and interesting. Shout out to Gary!

I have addicted to porn and masturbation addiction since 2009, (almost 12 Years).From last 6 years I am just trying to get out of this habit. But I couldn't do it more than 4/5 days. My life was very beautiful. I was strong and healthy boy in my teen age( today I am 25), But from last...

I've read and listened to Your Brain on Porn by Gary Wilson a few times. However, it's a bit dense and it took me a few reads before I could consolidate the ideas that are spread throughout the book. I've consolidated my notes below - feel free to suggest any additions. If you'd rather listen...

In the last post, I embarked on the beginning of my reboot journey, sharing the history of my relationship with porn since a very young age, and what suddenly changed a couple of weeks ago. I've successfully completed 8 days today. Yay to me! In this post, I thought I'll share some observations...

I've been at it for 15 years. I started when I accidentally mistyped a songs website which took me to a porn website when I was in 7th grade and never permanently stopped. Last weekend I started reading the book Your Brain On Porn. And it jolted me into reality. One sentence of the book says...

I'm not sure where to even begin... I never thought I'd find myself on the internet asking for help because I can't stop watching porn or masturbating, but here I am. It's been obvious to me for a while that porn and masturbation are causing issues in my life, and making me feel...for lack of...

I quit masturbation easily for 3 days now urges are coming. I am addicted to masturbation for 6 years and porn for 2 years. My highest streak of quitting is 14 days. During the period of quitting I feel like a normal person, with great confidence and not any guilt. I never attach masturbation...

Has anyone read it? I'm about a third through it and I'm dumbfounded about how watching pornography hijacks our thinking. As much as we the addict or viewer can live in our own world it blows me away what our brain is seeing. Let me know your opinion on the book and if you haven't read it I...
