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.
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
