About this listen
Revised and updated in December 2017.
When high speed Internet became widely available a few years ago, growing numbers of people began to worry that their porn use was running out of control. Far from preparing them for fulfilling relationships, viewing an endless stream of porn videos led to unexpected symptoms. Perhaps most surprisingly, for the first time in history erectile dysfunction was becoming a significant problem for young men. This led to one of the largest informal experiments in the history of science. Tens of thousands of people have tried abstaining from sexually stimulating material in a process they call "rebooting." Many of them reported startling changes, from improved concentration and elevated mood to a greater capacity for real-life intimacy.
Gary Wilson has listened to the stories of those who have tried giving up Internet porn and related them to an account of how the reward system of the brain interacts with its environment. And now a growing body of research in neuroscience is confirming what these pioneers have discovered for themselves - Internet pornography can be seriously addictive and damaging.
In Your Brain on Porn Wilson provides a concise introduction to the phenomenon of Internet porn addiction that draws on both first-person accounts and the findings of cognitive neuroscience. In a voice that is generous and humane, he also offers advice for those who want to stop using Internet pornography. The publication of Your Brain on Porn is a landmark in our attempts to understand, and remain balanced in, a world where addiction is big business.

Story
Welcome to the age of behavioral addiction - an age in which half of the American population is addicted to at least one behavior. We obsess over our emails, Instagram likes, and Facebook feeds; we binge on TV episodes and YouTube videos; we work longer hours each year; and we spend an average of three hours each day using our smartphones. Half of us would rather suffer a broken bone than a broken phone, and Millennial kids spend so much time in front of screens that they struggle to interact with real, live humans.

You’ll never quit porn if you believe it’s the problem. Porn is the solution. This may sound crazy. You may be sure porn is your problem. I thought the same thing and spent years trying to fix it. It didn’t work. So what’s the problem? Now that’s a question worth asking. If you can’t stop using porn, there is a reason. I want to help you learn why.

Scientism and misinformation
It is hard to believe that some poeple will discount their own triggers, intuition and experience and follow the current scientific consensus which had failed us time and time again, from cigarettes to DDT to asbestos. Very good read.

Just listen to it.
The definition of morality has become seemingly more ambiguous by the day. Society has led people to accept explicit content as the norm, as common, in some occasions even a healthy escape... Unsurprisingly, that is far from the truth. This book will open your eyes to pornography's detrimental effects on your mental and physical health, how it harms relationships and, of course, the best ways to stop. The audio goes into rather graphic details at times, though it is intended as emphasis and perhaps a touch of humor. What will make or break your success in conquering this addiction is saying you'll start tomorrow or just acting on it now - don't wait any longer.
