“You can’t look at pornography. If someone offers to show you a picture, just ask what it’s about and if it’s a surprise just don’t look at it.
Addiction make you start lying to your family and friends. And you must not try things you could be addicted to once. And you can joke about things you might be addicted to like, ‘I’m addicted to Dippin’ Dots.’ Cuz Dippin’ Dots are good.
My feeling brain makes me thirsty and decide what to eat and also rewards me for what I do right. But if I start to do pornography my feeling brain might start to reward me for it. But if I’m smart enough to not feel rewarded then my feeling brain will make me feel bad for looking at pornography.
I learned to try to not get addicted to stuff like pornography or drinking or smoking or taking yummy pills even if I don’t need them. The more I use my thinking brain, the stronger it gets. Even if I’m about to look at pornography, my thinking brain says, “No!” If I’m doing my math homework my thinking brain gets stronger about pornography.
I learned to leave my thinking brain in charge and let my feeling brain help me know what I want to do unless I’m spoiled. If I want to run into the street, I don’t have to get there immediately. Say I just got home from “Color Me Mine” and I run across the street without stopping to think. I might get hit by a car, or, more luckily, almost hit by a car.
I learned not to take drugs. Drugs will probably make you get pictures of pornography and trick people into looking at them even if they don’t want to. Drugs can make you lie about whether something is pornography. If you’re watching your favorite movie, there might be some pornography in it.
When your brain starts looking at pornography, it starts to make its own kind of drug. After you finish pornography, you stop having the drug that your brain makes. After the drug stops, you feel pain. Some people take drugs only to feel better. Instead of doing drugs or pornography, do something you like. If you still feel unhappy DO NOT TAKE DRUGS. Just wait. Do not take drugs. Just like go outside and lay on the grass. I tried it once and it really helped.”
I personally sought out this book for my 6-year when he tearfully reported seeing naked people on a 6 year-old friend’s phone. My son was not able to verbalize what he had seen. Thankfully Good Pictures/Bad Pictures explained to him in easy terms that he had seen pornography. The most valuable lesson that my son verbalized was that he could choose to use his thinking or feeling brain at a young age and he could protect his own brain.
My clients read Good Pictures Bad Pictures to their children to explain how compulsive porn has impacted mom, dad and/or siblings because children know there is a problem in the home, but they just don’t know what it is! This book gives clients the opportunity to shine light on compulsive porn use in an age appropriate way. Adult clients also find it easier to understand compulsive porn viewing because of how easy the authors explain addiction in the brain. I highly recommend this book for parents that want to prepare their children for what they may view on a phone/video game/laptop at even the most innocent of ages as my own 6 year old. I also highly recommend this book as education for Families of Compulsive Porn Addicts.

Some areas of the US have even considered porn an epidemic. This is really true and unfortunately I see it too often from people around me, at work and extended friends and family. It's really a sad truth but a truth nonetheless. This is truly a revolutionary book by some courageous authors who weren't afraid to speak out out on the subject. Also, shameless plug here, but the authors closely work with an organization called, "Fight The New Drug". I recommend people to visit their site as well for those who are older, such as teenagers, young adults, as well as older adults who feel the struggling grip of porn. It's a very helpful site with a lot of helpful resources who are also leading a movement towards exposing the truths about porn, human sex trafficking, and more. They've also developed a program on their site called "Fortify" to really engage those with a stronger struggle and help in getting free. I hope this review helps others or at least will get you interested in wanting to learn more about this virus in our country and abroad.

The focus on neurophysiology (thinking/feeling brain) is an inadequate secular equivalent for the anatomy of their spiritual counterparts, conscience, soul and the flesh nature, and not so helpful in fleeing sin. Christian parents and other faiths will want to supplement this with other clearer material, but it's a far better start than nothing at all.
The ostrich approach far too many Christians are using is very dangerous and wholly unscriptural - read Proverbs' explicit and direct warnings!
