This book offers deep insights into a specific type of addiction, drawing on a wide range of research. It serves as a great addition to the concepts introduced in "Dopamine Nation." When I first explored the topic of porn addiction years ago, I learned that conducting research on its effects was challenging. This difficulty arose because almost everyone in the relevant age group today has been exposed to it. However, the author of this book successfully finds and uses research to offer practical advice.


I found it particularly interesting that the author considers all forms of erotic content, including videos, images, and texts, as porn. The book's strong recommendation to make a firm decision to stop consuming such content provides a powerful motivation. This advice ties in well with the ideas presented in "4000 Weeks," which discusses the importance of recognizing the limited number of decisions we have in our lifetime. the author debunks a lot of myths about sex, porn, addictions, and more.
