What this book knows
Pornography rewires desire, erodes trust, and hijacks intimacy — but recovery is possible with honest reckoning.
intimacy
We felt we had just used each other for physical release. I missed the closeness when it is just the two of us in my mental awareness.
PT-006My trust level fell to zero. It's taken years and a lot of counseling for me to feel safe going forward with plans to start a family.
PT-005erotic-as-power
I find porn arousing, but I don't like the predatory energy it brings up in me and other men.
PT-003Seeing firsthand the subtle and overt violence against women was a big turn-off. Porn is so degrading to women.
PT-008trauma-and-survival
Uncle Fred got very excited flipping through the pages. He showed them to us again, numerous times after that, whenever he babysat.
PT-012Internet pornography is the 'crack cocaine of sexual addiction.' My fascination very rapidly progressed to a full-blown pornography addiction.
PT-011Illuminates
