Book Review: The Porn Circuit

The Porn Circuit | Covenant Eyes Internet Accountability and FilUnderstand your brain and break porn habits in 90 days.

Scientists are continually discovering new and exciting information on how our brains change through repetitive behaviors, and how these changes can contribute to addictions. The Porn Circuit goes into great detail to explain these changes without becoming overwhelming. The book clearly and easily describes how certain chemicals and hormones interact in ways that encourage certain behaviors, and how repeating these behaviors creates “paths of least resistance” that we are more likely to follow.

The only downside I could find with this book is its focus on finding freedom through behavior modification alone. I personally believe there is a very real spiritual element to addiction that is not covered in this eBook, but I also recognize that is not the focus of the book so it should not be expected. That being said, I would encourage any reader to prayerfully compare the behavior-based approach to freedom presented in this book with the freedom-in-Christ path we see in the Bible.

From the Covenant Eyes page:

Science shows us that acting out with pornography taps into our powerful neurochemistry, and this can quickly lead a person to use porn habitually. Much like a drug, the chemicals that fire when watching porn cause the brain to increasingly crave it until eventually it can feel almost impossible to break free.

In this e-book, you’ll learn:

  • What chemicals fire during porn use
  • How sensitization, triggers, and compulsiveness turn pornography into a habit
  • Why one image is never enough
  • How porn ruins sex and intimacy
  • How to find freedom in 90 days
