Publisher's Summary
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.

Great read
Studies and sources are very interesting and rest their case. Also the reader (and author) sounds like Archer so it makes it quite entertaining

A must read!
A must read for anyone struggling with porn, for psychologists and other mental health experts and for the wider public as a whole. This book clearly shows the connections between porn use and addiction revealed by accurate neuroscience, leading experts, and general population case studies and self reports. A much needed eye opener.

Changing my Life
Never before had I been able to obtain such a wealth of knowledge that could set me on the right path. The research, stories and tools provided are not only extremely helpful but highly emapathetic. Whether you believe it or not that you are addicted to porn, give this porn a read first and realise for yourself the trap you've been pulled into but now can free yourself from.

Worth your time
Although, potentially a little repetitive, the education is that valuable that by the end you were happy that the author drilled it that hard into your brain
