5.0 out of 5 stars Very eye opening!, November 24, 2007

By	Rob Archibald - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Want to understand why pornography is so addictive to those who use it? Want to understand the biochemical reactions that occur in the body that make a pornographic arousal state equal to if not more addictive than cocaine and other illicit drugs? If so, you should read this book. If you, or someone you love is struggling with a pornographic addiction, read this book. It contains a wealth of scientific data that shows the harmful effects of pornography, gives practical information for those who want to change their lives, offers advice to parents teaching their children about pornography and provides encouragement and advice to spouses of the pornography addict.

3.0 out of 5 stars Helpful to an extent, June 23, 2009

By	Robert Palmer "palmtree61189" (harrisburg pa) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is helpful in many ways and depending on your particular circumstances can be very insightful. Unfortunately it makes a few large assumptions:

1) You are a theist
2) You are married
3) You have children

Now if you are an atheist the book may still be helpful and insightful but the common references to a creator and design maybe distracting.

On a different note, I was personally expecting more discussion on the scientific aspects of the brain. I was eager to learn about the neurological phenomena that occurs when one views porn. This certainly was present, but it did not go into the amount of depth and detail I felt it should, after all the title of the book is "the brain science behind interent pornography use"

Like I said this book can be helpful, but if you are looking for a detailed and exhaustive study on the brain and pornography you will probably not find what you are looking for from this book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Science, but too Mormon, June 9, 2009

By	R. Kravitz (Bay Area, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book had some great ideas and poonts, but it was too geared to the Mormon point of view--which I do respect, but don't follow since that is not my religion, I am not even Gentile. Like kneeling with your wife, praying and reading scripture before bed--doesn't really fit into my life. But I guess if I was a real addict I might resort to that. I did pick up some good ideas about talking to my son and it does make it clear that this stuff is not real, not what "decent" women want, etc. Doesn't touch on the fact that many porn actresses were abused as children and so by watching it, you promote child abuse in a sort of way. The examples of addicts were pretty extreme too. I read The Porn Trap and that was better.
