great man Gary, helped a lot people including me.I found out porn addiction at his site and i keep fighting still i hope i will one day be free feom evil porn in his honor.Rest in peace Great man and fighter for justice

Our worth of being on the planet at this time cannot be judged as we are all worthy and essential to being here now. The issue of worthiness may come up in many areas of our lives, as we ask, often unconsciously, whether we are worthy of success, love, happiness, and countless other things, from supportive relationships to a beautiful home. In the end, though, it all comes down to one thing: our willingness to claim our space in this life as humans on this planet at this time. That is what Gary Wilson allowed me to do with his vast knowledge of the very addiction that had destroyed my life.

I tentatively observed his ted talk about this addiction and it was an eye opener. For the first time in my life, I realized that my 'defective' day to day life was actually attributed to my behavior and being a victim to this addiction. His research allowed me to strive past it and through my triumph I was, and still am able to help others in need with this very problem.

Thank you Gary, you were the god father and prophet of our generation to fight this new drug, never before experienced in human history.

Your work saved and will continue to save many more lives. Your legacy will live on, not just in this sphere but in our hearts, for your dedication to the cause gave me and others the tools to keep moving forward.

May you rest in peace, in the grace of the Almighty.

Love,
Ghaz

Thank you Gary for the time, dedication, effort and everything you have done. The Ted Talk Great Porn Experiment is the most important video on YouTube.

Gary

All I can say is thank you. Your contribution to the knowledge on porns affects on the brain have assisted me greatly and has inspired me to do better.

You have fought the good fight and now its your time to rest.

I really hope to meet you one day.

I read Gary's book some weeks ago and it inspired me a lot. It has changed my perspective of life and helped me to handle with difficult situations. You will not be forgotten and I will do everything to convince all of my friends to read your book...

Rest in Peace Gary and thank you so much!

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.

His work was the first I'd come across that changed the trajectory of my counseling work! Thank you. 6 years on and im still learning! He's a legend! Condolences to the family. Rest assured he'll never be forgotten and will always be respected for all he did in this field! May he rest in peace.

You made me human again

Thank you, Gary. What a wonderful man you were. Brain-healing vibes to your wife and family ✌️

Gary, thank you for your passion, curiosity, courage, and hard work for popularizing knowledge about the risk of problematic pornography use. Your voice has helped many people all around the world in whose hearts and minds you'll remain alive. It was a great pleasure to meet You.

NoFap changed my life. Thank you Gary

Thanks Sir for waking us up from this horrendous addiction. Indebted for life. You will be missed. RIP

Thank you Gary for helping young men around the world to better their lives. Rest in peace.

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
