About this listen

Tried to quit porn and failed? It's not your fault.

Maybe You Should Stop Touching Yourself: A 30-Day, Science-Backed Plan to Quit Porn Without Willpower or Shame offers a revolutionary approach to breaking free from porn addiction by working with your brain chemistry, not against it.

Most recovery programs demand cold turkey quitting and rely on willpower alone. This book reveals why that approach fails for most people and introduces a proven tapering strategy that gradually reduces consumption, allowing your brain to heal without the crushing withdrawal that leads to relapse.

Based on cutting-edge neuroscience, this audiobook explains:

  • How porn creates a supernormal stimulus that overwhelms your brain's natural reward system
  • Why your brain develops tolerance, requiring increasingly extreme content to feel the same pleasure
  • How the trigger-behavior-reward loop keeps you trapped in compulsive use
  • The hidden costs you're paying in relationships, mental health, productivity, and sexual function

Instead of shame and judgment, you'll get a day-by-day plan that works with your brain's neuroplasticity to break the cycle. Starting with scheduled sessions that gradually decrease over time (twice weekly, then weekly, then bi-weekly, then monthly), you'll rewire your neural pathways until the compulsion naturally fades.

This isn't about becoming a different person. It's about becoming more fully yourself, free from the chains of compulsion. Whether you've tried quitting a dozen times or this is your first attempt, this practical, compassionate guide provides the tools you need to finally succeed.

Your brain can heal. Your relationships can improve. Your life can change. And it all starts with understanding the science of addiction and recovery.
