Gary's book "Your Brain on Porn" was an enormous benefit to me when I needed it. I owe much of my development to his work and effort and I thank him deeply. Thanks Gary, and rest well!

Thanks Gary por everything.. His Ted Talk changed my life forever and inspired me to spread this message of how porn affects our lives. His work will continue to help millions of others. Rest in peace.

I hope his website will remain online. He has contributed so significantly, in such an incisive way, to the discussions about the harms of porn. His commitment to doing good was so evident, and I'm grateful I had the chance to ever hear him speak in person once. God bless you, his family and close friends, in this significant loss.

I am deeply saddened by the demise of Mr. Gary.

The TED talk given by him was an eye opener. There were several success stories on ybop website which re-instated the faith that I can heal.

I will miss him. RIP sir.

Gary was one of those people who will live on forever through his amazing work and legacy. He had such a huge impact on millions of people who viewed his Ted Talk, and has been a positive influence for this generation and generations to come. You will be missed by many. My sincere condolences to you all.

One of my favorite teachers of all time. So blessed to have gotten good time with him.
I know he will live in my heart forever.

Rest in Peace, Gary.
You might have saved my family/

Gary Wilson was one of those rare, genuine people who selflessly work for the good of people he didn't ever or would not ever know. Gary never worried about attribution, but gave freely of his time to the cause of truth about how harmful pornography is. His information and YouTube videos helped inspire my work in writing Good Pictures Bad Pictures. And later, Gary was always available to make sure the science in my books and articles was accurate. Gary was giving. He was good. You could just feel it when you were around him.

Gary was a stickler for the truth. He was brilliant in assessing new research, pointing out the strengths and weaknesses of the research methodology of any study.

Gary's goodness was a perfect foil to the evil of the porn industry and the people who harassed him. He never gave in and he never backed down. He was a gentle man who was a relentless and courageous voice for the truth. I am deeply grateful for his monumental work. My heart goes out to his wife Marna and son Arion.

I have no words for all things this guy did. Thanks man, you saved my, and millons of other lifes. I´m grateful for your work. We all miss you so much.

His knowledge and dedication to YBOP has literally saved my life and my future, as well as countless others. I will never forget him.

Gary, I'm already missing your presence! Thank you for being such a good friend, brilliant instructor, wise counsel, encouraging mentor, and fabulous example of living true to your beliefs. And... funny! You made me laugh!! You took me under your wing as a new graduate at AIM and helped me grow and believe in my own gift as an instructor. I could hardly believe you trusted me enough to hand me your courses to teach, but you did! I would never be who I am today without that mentorship at such a crucial moment in my growth. Thank you for so many hours of counsel and advice as Bryn and I were stepping into the big shoes of becoming school owners. Phew. We had your support and it meant everything to us.
Bryn and I were just reflecting on all the AIM graduates who never actually met you, but who know your name as the super smart guy who figured out how to teach Kinesiology in a brain-friendly way that everyone could handle, and as the Fascia Wizard who inspired such a significant part of the AIM curriculum. You're a great man with a brilliant mind, huge heart, and unassuming approach. May your example continue to inspire.

I first met Gary when he arrived at Heartwood Institute as a student in 1987. I have so many awesome memories of times spent with Gary! Loved his sense of humor(what a jokester he could be!), his friendship, his being, and what a great teacher. Heartwood was blessed to have him as a student and a teacher! I was blessed to have him as a friend! Sending love and strength to his family! I Love You Garr! May you soar free!

With great admiration and appreciation for Gary as a model person lived his values personally and professionally. His gift of excellent research, teaching, and publishing will continue to bless people throughout the world for generations. May the family and friends find comfort and peace over time.

I am a UK parenting author and journalist ('What's my Teenager Thinking?'/'Girls, Uninterrupted' ) who has been writing on the effects of porn for over ten years. Gary was always extremely supportive and generous with his time when I asked for his help - and I hope I helped spread his findings. What a good and brave man he was. A huge loss. His work will live on.

Losing Gary is like losing a beloved brother. His depth of knowledge of this important subject and dedication to teaching it, all laced with his ever present humour, made him a joy to work with.

He listened carefully to men who were reporting unaccounted for sexual dysfunctions and diminished interest in real partners when no one else was making a connection to the now readily available, high speed internet porn. He diligently sought out and dissected the academic literature as it rolled out and inspired users to consider experimenting with quitting porn to release them from the impairments compulsive use of porn was causing them. He combined that theoretical knowledge of porn-induced brain changes with the good news, real life stories of users who had quit porn to produce the life saving TEDx talk in 2012 "The Great Porn Experiment". His remarkable teaching prowess became the inspiration for our education charity, "The Reward Foundation - Love, Sex & the Internet". We wanted to help spread the priceless information mined by Gary that users were not lost and broken, but could free themselves from the treacherous siren calls of Internet porn.

Gary loved Marnia with a tenderness and devotion that is rare, and he had a similar love for his beloved son Arion. I count myself fortunate to have known him as a friend and colleague for many years. He will be deeply missed. I find some comfort in knowing that his great work will live on to help many others and that we can feel like he is still with is by listening to the many talks, videos and podcasts that he made. Farewell, dear friend and teacher.

I have been hearing this music in my head since Gary left us. It is called “Sicilienne” by an eighteenth century Austrian woman composer called Theresia von Paradis. I like to think that she has come from paradise to bring Gary home.

Gary changed the way the world thinks about pornography.

As the key mind behind the peer-reviewed paper ‘Is Internet Pornography Causing Sexual Dysfunctions? A Review with Clinical Reports’, Gary helped to change the face of pornography research.

This paper put the term Pornography Induced Erectile Dysfunction (PIED) into the scientific literature. By saying that pornography was potentially harmful Gary and his co-authors, seven US Navy doctors, faced massive resistance from supporters of the pornography industry. Gary bravely resisted every effort to have publication of the paper blocked. His persistence was rewarded. It has now been cited 131 times and is the most widely read paper the journal Behavioural Sciences has ever published.

Gary’s other huge contribution is the website yourbrainonporn.com. In the past year over 3.6 million people have used it as their trusted source of publicly available information about the harms of pornography. We will help it grow even stronger over the coming months and years.

What an achievement. I will miss Gary every day.

The work of Mr Gary will be remembered and cherished for generations to come. Through his work Mr Gary has saved millions of lives , marriages , dreams & aspirations from jeopardy.

You will be missed Sir, can't thank you enough for your contribution.

Gary's work was essential to understand what I was going through, being a porn consumer since early adolescense.
Having followed Gary since 2013, right before he published his book, I can tell that he always defended his thesis using evidence and reason, and never flinched when deniers harassed him miserably.
For that reason, I consider him a true champion of critical thinking and truth-seeking. A pioneer who raised awareness about an emerging problem — despite the backlash he was going to face from the billionaire porn industry — and helped thousands of individuals along the way; his legacy will still help many others all around the world.

My condolences from Spain. R.I.P.
