Let’s talk about Your Brain on Porn by Gary Wilson, a book that’s helped countless people reclaim their lives. Wilson explores how porn hijacks our brain’s reward system, rewiring it to crave more extreme content over time. The result? We need increasingly intense stimulation to feel pleasure, and everyday joys start to feel flat. But here’s the good news: the brain can heal through a process called "rebooting."
Rebooting means abstaining from porn, substitutes, and even masturbation, giving your brain the break it needs to reset. It’s challenging, especially at first, with withdrawal symptoms like mood swings or brain fog. But as your brain recalibrates, real-life pleasures start to feel rewarding again. The goal is to rewire your brain to appreciate genuine intimacy and connection.
The journey isn’t easy, but it’s worth it. Whether it’s overcoming triggers, dealing with shame, or simply taking it one day at a time, progress is possible. Your brain can heal, and you don’t have to do it alone.
