Your Brain on Porn

The very same famous book that you see quoted or referenced in much social media whenever you look into quitting porn, self-improvement, red pill content, and similar trends. Yes, it's this very same book.

What's this book about?

It's about studies on how porn shapes the human brain due to brain plasticity, the effects it can have on our well-being, witnesses of porn addiction, information on how to quit, and the success rate.

This is more of a professional or formal reading. Gary Wilson discusses how porn affects your brain, shares comments from others about their experiences and why this occurs, presents data on the topic, and then follows a similar approach in the next chapters or topics.

Should I read it?

If you are interested in psychology, neuroscience, or trying to quit porn addiction, go ahead; it's a short book that contains a lot of useful information and feedback from many people. You will understand a bit more of why people get hooked into porn, how porn triggers us, and much more.

If you are quitting porn, this book will help you understand better your addiction and give you some resources or techniques for quitting. Many of these come from internet forums, so don't expect it to be any different from a regular social media post about the topic. I guess many of those videos also use this book as a reference.
