Too Much Porn? Solid Ground Livestream 54 with Dr. Bret Alderman

I tried to reach out to the author of the book Your Brain on Porn, which has been an incredible resource for many young men (and some women, too) who feel their porn use has gotten out of control. I received the following email in response: "Thanks for your message. Unfortunately, Gary died in 2021, and we don't have anyone else to propose.
