    Love you Gary.
    I read ypur book and somehow I briefly came out of an existing mess.
    I am battling that addiction, but with a quick frame, I will be completely out of it.
    You were a legend, pioneer for men, who struggled with pornography.
    Your work was more bigger than your life.
    RIP.
    Love you so much.
    Happy to see you on this earth.

    I encountered Gary's work when I was attending BYU. I had seen the negative effects of porn on friends and family, but I didn't know if there were any academic sources that I could turn to to educate people on its negative effects. That's when found his book, and I read it. Since then I have been reading post after post on yourbrainonporn.com and I have used the information from that website in debates with people who are determined to assert that porn has no ill effects. I also used the website as a source when writing research papers in my forensic psychology classes for my masters degree. The studies he gathered on porn's effects on sexual aggression and violence were instrumental in helping me make clear research based arguments. I hope to carry on the fight that Gary Started.

    Thank you for everything, you have helped not only me but numerous of other people see the consequences of what porn does to one's mind. It came as a shock hearing you passed on but your work was not on vain. You've opened the eyes of millions of people with how this addiction works and the brain changes it can cause. To this day I'm still struggling with this fight but I still appreciate the studies you have done and actually taken the issue seriously. I'm still lost for words but just remember you were a hero. Thanks Gary.

    Gary's dedication to the truth, his work, friends, and family was evident to all. His passion and reassuring demeanor made him a beacon of hope in a dark world. I was lucky enough to witness this from a distance.

    I looked forward to reading every message Gary shared and was amazed by his brilliant mind. Gary was approachable and could make even the most complex things attainable. His presence was a constant and his work will continue to have an immeasurable impact on the movement to end sexual exploitation. Gary's commitment and service to others was profound and he will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing his name.

    Grateful to have witnessed even a tiny fraction of such an extraordinary life lived by Gary Wilson.

    Hi, I'm not a native English speaker so I might make one mistake or another, forgive me. Anyway, I can't tell you how many links had I read from YBOP. Litterally mpre than a hundred and I'll be grateful for Gray's and his wife's work all my life. Because I was addict to porn and Gary's work was a shinning light into my darkness and give me some of the tools which made me able to make my own light, and embrace my drakness and work on it. And ultimately, made possible for me to be happy again. To laugh, to cry, to get angry, to feel. Something that porn take away from me over the years but with effort I bring it back. I still got a lot of work to do, a lot to read, a lot to think, to know, to see and I'm working on all of it. But you people definitely changed my life. And I'm thankful for that. My sincere feelings to Gary's family and friends. I'll miss him too.

    Gary's book 'Your Brain on Porn' really helped me to change my perception to Porn. I believe he has definitely helped many more teenagers to change their lives for the good before they fell to deep. May God rest his soul.

    This man changed my life ever since I first saw him on TED Talk. I stopped my porn addiction and everything from that moment on changed the way I live and how I see woman and sex. He lives on through the many millions of people he has helped. Eternally grateful!

    "Nocturne"

    Listen here: https://youtu.be/y5beWOIecS4

    Lyrics:

    Now let the day
    Just slip away
    So the dark night may watch over you
    Velvet blue, silent true
    It embraces your heart and your soul
    Nocturne

    Never cry, never sigh
    You don't have to wonder why
    Always be, always see
    Come and dream the night with me
    Nocturne

    Have no fear
    When the night draws near
    And fills you with dreams and desire
    Like a child asleep
    So warm, so deep
    You will find me there waiting for you
    Nocturne

    We will fly, claim the sky
    We don't have to wonder why
    Always be, always see
    Come and dream the night with me
    Nocturne

    Though darkness lay
    It will give way
    When the dark night delivers the day
    Nocturne

    ~~~

    Dearest Wils, I love you and all you accomplished despite the obstacles in your path. Thank you for sharing your life with me. Smokey and I miss you. <3

    Simply stated, Gary Wilson changed my life. For reasons unknown, I had harbored a weakness for pornography from an early age. When Internet pornography came into existence, I found it all but impossible to resist. With a simple explanation of what was happening in the brain, I was able to gain perspective on the process and effectively counteract the cycle in which I had been trapped.

    Now, in and of itself, deciphering this process was a major accomplishment on the part of Gary Wilson, but it doesn’t stop there. Gary Wilson saw fit to make this information readily available to others, and at no charge, via his website. Beyond that, he stood up to opposition from people that sought to mischaracterize his efforts as some sort of censorship.

    One significant element of Gary Wilson’s work was that he didn’t seek to moralize the problem. Instead, it was presented as simple, factual data, which explained why pornography could be addictive and he left the moral aspect of the matter to the individual. I never felt that I was being preached at, or condemned to shame, and absent this effect, I was able to deal with the matter without feeling the need to become defensive. In my case, the effects were almost immediate; from the first time I read the information on Gary’s site, to the point where is began to break the yoke of porn addiction was effectively instantaneous. I had moments of relapse, but meaningful progress began as soon as I visited Gary’s site.

    I mention this, only because it illustrates the power of accurate information. In my case, I had tried all sorts of approaches to combat the problem, but a simple explanation of how Dopamine works and how the decrease of Dopamine receptors occurs was enough to make sense of a phenomenon which had puzzled me for most of my life. In my case, anything even remotely pornographic seemed to alter my state of mind and I almost felt as if I was being led by pornography. That, the altered state of mind, was the enemy I fought. By understanding the role of Dopamine and Dopamine receptors in this process, I came to understand that this altered state of mind was an illusion caused by a reduction in Dopamine receptors. It was that simple, and it changed my life.
