This is a very informative book on the effects of pornography and sex addiction and why your body begins to crave them. It is quite clinical in its explanation of brain chemistry with regards to dopamine addiction and how hard that can be to end. It is eye-opening as it shows how pornography more than other addictions damages personal intimacy - especially with a spouse.The book is focused primarily on the male brain, but there are useful insights on brain chemistry and addiction in general. The book also has a spiritual component and it suggests that the lack of a right relationship with God often drives the addiction to more extreme measures. Your body longs for intimacy and you try to supplement that need with something that you think is intimacy (sexual stimulation with various partners and/or pornography and masturbation) but ends up being only sexual gratification with no intimacy. It talks about how this develops isolation for addicted individual along with shame and guilt that often accompanies addiction.The book also offers large amounts of research data from different studies and different countries showing not only the almost unique damaging effects of pornography/sex addiction, it also offers some effective ways to break the cycle and move toward real intimacy.
Best book I ever read on the subject in that it helped me identify what was happening with my husband and why I sensed there was no room for me in the relationship. Now I know, and this matter is brought into the light: Thank you so much!
This book is absolutely EXCELLENT! The author is highly-educated and very much knows the subject matter. I would highly encourage every single and married person to read this book! The contents are highly relevant especially in the culture and times in which we live - that of the excessive and addictive sex - and not that of HEALTHY nurturing, intimate, safe sex - inundating people's daily lives. I can't recommend this book highly-enough!
I looked for this book because I was interested in the chemical and physiological bases of porn addiction. I found it on Chapter 4. The rest of the book is written in the form of religious preaching, and it deals with the topic with the bias of one particular system of beliefs. I'm not saying it couldn't be helpful for you, just saying so you know what you'll find. In my case, Chapter 4 was the only one I found useful, since the rest I had already read elsewhere.
I didn't read much of this at all once I realized the author was Christian. May be fine for some but I don't want anybody spouting bible stuff in my desire to learn and understand addiction to pornography. Stay away if you too don't want a religious bent to the topic. Just sayin.'
***DISCLAIMER: I'd hope when reading any sort of scientific or recovery book, people would take the time to research the author and specifically what school he researches at before purchasing their book. This is definitely a Christian book intended mostly for a Christian audience or someone open to that.***Author William Struthers teaches the subject of neurology with a Ph.D at Wheaton. This means this book has a very unique, neurological perspective, as most books on pornography are going to be by counselors and/or pastors. This book tends to take a much more scientific approach in some chapters, lending to a better understanding for just how porn latches on to the brain. This is both tragic to see and wonderful to learn -- it's much easier to avoid touching a stove when you comprehend exactly how the burns would destroy your hand.This is not a typical recovery book. The author will not simply give you practical ways to stop watching porn. He instead addresses how watching pornography reveals the deeper need for intimacy in males. When that need combines with both our sinful nature and a corrupted image of true masculinity in our culture, the result is seeking out unhealthy, unsatisfying forms of "false intimacy" that ultimately destroy the lives of men -- porn. I hope you can see from this review that Struthers' work is more than a self-help book. It is much deeper and much more needed than that.So this book is less about pornography than it is about intimacy. God "wired" humans to be in His image and to receive their deepest needs for intimacy from Him, from a spouse, and other healthy friendships. Not from their computer screens or prostitutes.I see a lot of criticism for this book because it's 'not practical enough'. I truly feel those reviewers have either missed the point of the book or didn't read it in its entirety. Anyone knows that to erase a tree you have to uproot it completely, and sins and struggles in the lives of humans are no different. He does give some practical advice for stopping a pornography addiction in the last chapter, and I think the brief yet big ideas he addresses suffice. As the author implied, when a man sets it in his heart to repent and let go of an addiction, a mere book is not going to be the sole savior anyway.Some of the best parts of the book are in the second half dealing with true masculinity. Chapter six outlines what really makes a man Biblically versus what society says, and it's so great I wish some feminists I know would read it.One caveat of the book is that at times it feels a bit inaccessible. Because there are some science-heavy parts, some chapters feel either drawn out or like Struthers goes on small tangents that seem a bit irrelevant to the chapter as a whole. Fortunately, this is only a couple cases and does not detract from the book's message at all. Also, I feel the subtitle ("How pornography hijacks the male brain") is a bit misleading, for the book is not solely a scientific exploration. It touches on so much more, which is what makes it a 5-star book instead of a 4-star.Every man needs to make the effort and read this book. It will convict and rip your heart apart to see why men feel the need to look at a girl's body instead of their face on first sight or, even more sadly, during conversation. It will sadden you to read how men have lost the ability to appreciate female beauty without making it erotic. It will break you to learn about the neurological buildup that traps so many men into pornography addiction when God intended that buildup for the safe confines of marriage. Of course, brokenness is required if one wishes to repent and give their lives to God.Most men have an intimacy problem today, which is why they really watch porn. I just hope they get around to seeing that and stumbling upon this direly-needed book.
No really, I've bought this book four times so I can lend/give them away. This is a book that is half science, half advice about how to deal with the very real problem of porn addiction. As someone who's been addicted to porn for the majority of my life, this understanding of how my brain physically works and how it effects how I treat women is something I can't recommend highly enough.
I am almost finished with the book and the best part is about the effects of your brain when watching pornography. This author really knows what he is talking about and he makes sure to have plenty of references throughout the chapters. It is really interesting how he blends in faith with scientific evidence. It is blended so well to the point where it won't push away a non religious person that wants to learn about the way the male mind works dealing with sex and it won't push away the religious person.
