You wish more people knew how to quit porn?

Having an active sex life really dried up my porn consumption. So boyfriends and girlfriends are the cure to porn?

Update: I just read that book.

It starts off by pre-blaming readers that any failure is due to them " not following instructions ", " not understanding the instructions ". You know it's going to be a good read when you're already blamed before you start.

Anyway like halfway into the book they reveal the magic method.

  1. Stop watching porn
  2. Don't think about porn

The rest of the book is a huge amount of verbiage, a Socratic walk through a theory of mind, doing a lot of straw man arguments that one might use against porn.

It's clearly a book, written from the heart, but man they need to learn how to be a more effective writer.

The end of the book calls for all porn to be behind age verification. The blight on our society.

Wild Read
