Your brain on porn

by Luke Gilkerson

Sex is highly glorified in our culture. Between risqué ads and promiscuous characters, the average American will see 15,000 sexual references a year on television alone. Many shows will even glorify pornography, whether by featuring porn stars in guest roles or by actually creating shows about the industry.

With these legitimatizing attitudes from TV, it’s very easy to fall into the logical trap that porn is no big deal. After all, everyone watches it, right?

Download this free e-book, Your Brain on Porn, to learn the 5 proven ways pornography warps your brain, including how porn:

•decreases sexual satisfaction
•lowers one’s view of women
•desensitizes the viewer to cruelty

You’ll also learn how the gospel, obedience to God’s Word, and quality fellowship renews your mind and moves you toward freedom from porn and sex addiction.

[Mason E Searle · Rating 4 out of 5]

Somewhat surface level for anyone struggling in this area. Still a very good resource - especially as an introductory text. It clearly lays out the effects of pornography and the very real dangers this poison cause in our relationships to others and with our God. From a secular perspective it also has very real damaging effects and even a nonbeliever could benefit from most of this book. The last destruction and fulfilling hope given painted in this book lay out two paths clearly: the path of utter mental destruction at the hands of porn, and the lasting redemption and love many have hoped for but few have found. Definitely worth a read if one has not done much reading on how the brain itself is effected by our choices, specifically in this area.
