This book was surprisingly sex-positive and made me see porn in a different light even though I don't personally have a problematic relationship with porn. I liked that cross-applicability many of the practical steps have with other behavioural addictions, but I felt like most of the book could be essentially summed up as "Porn is bad. Don't watch porn." Well, that's fine and dandy, but if you are reading this book, you probably already think that.

I started reading this for research, but it has really made me stop and think about the effect of pornography on society. I'd always thought it to be relatively benign. But with the advent and availability of Internet porn, I've started to rethink what this may mean for the sexuality of generations going forward.

I read this book to understand better the struggle that some people experience when it comes to pornography. In addition, this book provides an excellent synopsis of pornography and helpful methods for approaching addiction and relationship issues related to it. This book is a must-read, not only for those who experience addiction to pornography but for anyone impacted by pornography at some level.

Read this as a close friend is going through recovery and have asked me to be his support person. From this point of view, there have been useful bits in the book that helped my understanding but it is mainly aimed at the users rather than their support circle. The reason I gave it only 3 stars though was because I thought the writing was terrible. It would have been nice also if they had considered that not all readers are religious and not all are American. The endless references to church and faith quickly become tiring for a non-believer.
