review 1: Excellent resource for anyone struggling with pornography or anyone supporting someone struggling. Many great examples of others experiences. I appreciate the medical perspective coupled with gospel insight and real experiences of others. This is such a troubling problem in our society that goes too much under the radar. I hope more people will accept the reality of this issue. It touches almost everyone to some degree.Highly recommended. This isn't going to be your favorite read of the month, but there are so many great insights and things to help those that struggle (and those affected by their actions, parents, spouse, children, etc.). I think everyone should read this book.
review 2: Written by an LDS Nuerogsurgeon, this book addresses both the scien... morece and the spiritual components of addiction (particularly pornography) very well. It includes suggestions on what questions to ask when counseling someone going through addiction. He also explains the science behind why promiscuity leads to depression. In orgasm, chemicals are released that increase trust and attachment to the sexual partner. When that trust and attachment is violated in casual sex scenarios, depression naturally follows. Addiction switching is a key. Addictions and habits exist with all of us. Its a matter of what addictions, good or bad, that we choose. In reprogramming the brain, think about how long it takes if you move a trash can in your office from one side to the other, before you stop reaching for the prior placement. A great quote from Will Durant's Lessons of History: Out of every 100 ideas, ninety-nin or more will probably be inferior to the traditional responses which they propose to replace. No one man, however brilliant, can dismiss the customs of his society, for these are the wisdom of generations after centuries of experiment in the laboratory of history. A youth boiling with hormones, will wonder why he should not give full freedom to his sexual desires; and if unchecked by custom, morals and laws he may ruin his life before he matures sufficiently to understand that sex is a river of fire that must be banked and cooled by a hundred restraints if it is not to consume in chaos both the individual and the group. less
