Announcing www.yourbrainonporn.com, a new website dealing with porn addiction and recovery. This unique site is secular, science-based and non-commercial. "Your Brain On Porn" focuses on the neurobiology of porn addiction, porn-induced erectile dysfunction (ED), and re-balancing the brain. In addition to science-based articles and supporting research, content includes advice and anecdotes of recovered porn addicts.
Hosted by long-time anatomy and physiology teacher Gary Wilson and his wife (author of Cupid's Poisoned Arrow), the new site grew out of a decade of research analysis on the effects of sex on the brain and five years of interacting with recovering porn addicts.
There’s a vacuum of critically important information about porn's effects on the brain. It is lost in the gulf between critics who see porn use as immoral and those who see Internet porn as no different from Dad’s Playboy magazines. "Your Brain On Porn" takes the position that porn use isn’t a moral issue. Yet, to the human brain, Internet porn is as different from erotic magazines as “World of Warcraft” is from checkers. This development has major implications for users' neurochemical balance. Our brains are hunter-gatherer brains living in a modern world.
Content of the new site includes:
•Articles: Porn-related articles covering a diverse range of subjects important to users, written for the general public with easy-to-understand science and porn user stories.
•Tools for Change: Tools to help users in their recovery, including advice on how to "reboot" and "rewire" the brain.
•Research: Abstracts and studies that illuminate porn addiction and recovery.
•Videos: Visual presentations by science teacher Gary Wilson and others.
•FAQ's: Answers to the most commonly asked questions.
•Support: Links to other helpful websites and discussion boards, where users can find ongoing support, advice and wisdom.
www.yourbrainonporn.com has been enthusiastically received by experts and lay visitors alike:
I really appreciate you shedding some light on this issue. 3 years ago when I first tried quitting there was literally nothing on the internet that could help and educate me. Your video's are the very reason why I am having so much success with quitting. You have truly done a great public service. THANK YOU SO MUCH!--D.J.
WOW! The first thing anyone should do, with an addiction of any kind, is view these videos! Husbands and wives should see these NOW. Before you begin 12 steps or any other pathway to recovery, patiently watch this video series. I cannot stress this enough.--T.S.
My husband says this material has been an enlightenment for him. He is enthralled by the message because for the first time he understands, and feels like he is understood, in this personal battle.--A.G.
Looks excellent. I especially like the no judgment attitude and the focus on how long it can take to have the reward pathway return to normal after too much stimulation. Great job. I will suggest it to patients.--A.J. Reid Findlayson, MD

Your work is invaluable. --Mark Chamberlain, PhD (sex therapist and author)
The video series are truly remarkable; they say everything that needs saying in a very easy to follow manner. I've also heard really positive things about your site from some of my readers. They find it very helpful. Thank you for providing this free resource.--Alex
