“Raised on Porn is an empirical rejection of the conflation of pornography with sexual freedom. It is a must-read book for every parent and every person who gives porn a pass.”

“The take-home message from this powerful book is that porn impacts much more than our sexuality; it destroys our empathic core, our very humanity. All who take time to carefully read this important book will be educated, but more importantly, will be motivated and empowered to change this increasingly confused world.”

Donald L. Hilton Jr., MD

Neurosurgeon

“Raised on Porn not only forces us to take an unflinching look at porn culture, but it also provides an analysis of the harms of porn—which mobilizes activism against an industry that is reshaping the social, emotional, and cognitive map of young people in ways that undermine healthy development, women’s equality, and a sustainable culture.”

“Pornography is normalizing an extreme version of the teaching that women are sexual objects for men, the property of men, and that they have less value than men. This teaching not only lays a foundation for epidemic levels of violence and discrimination against women and girls to persist, but it also ultimately encourages men and boys to disconnect from their own humanity.”

Tony Porter

“Equally methodical and morally challenging, Raised on Porn bridges science and health on one hand, and human rights and dignity on the other. This study makes a significant contribution to citizens’, researchers’, and policy makers’ understanding of the issue. It looks at how the brain, the market, and the internet are all wired—and what can’t be changed and what can and must.”

“Raised on Porn is a powerful new weapon in the growing arsenal of evidence against the destructive, deforming, and diabolical harms of the global industrial porn complex. This book blows apart the porn industry’s PR spin that its product is mere fantasy.”

Melinda Tankard Reist

"This book is a tour de force that engages the history, science, and biblical principles that must be named if we are to understand the scourge of pornography. The believing community can no longer hide from this heartache, and this book is a gift of enormous proportion to give us freedom, knowledge, and courage.”

Dan B. Allender, PhD

“Raised on Porn refuses to look away from the pornography industry’s exploitation of women and the corrosive nature of the images it produces. These brutal realities are hard to face, especially when our patriarchal society so often celebrates pornography as sexual liberation.”

Robert Jensen, PhD

Professor Emeritus, University of Texas
Author of Getting Off: Pornography and the End of Masculinity

“This book offers extremely useful and specific guidance for healing and for reclaiming one’s own sexuality, relationships, and sanity from the domination and control of the pornography industry. Beyond all of these accomplishments, this valuable resource offers clarity, hope, and inspiration for living with integrity, respect, and mutuality.”

Harvey Schwartz, PhD

Author and Clinical Psychologist

“Raised on Porn effectively exposes the truth behind the porn fallacy. Today’s world is hardwired for hardcore porn, and this book elucidates the adult film industry’s obscene nature and adequately expresses multifarious motivations for its end.”

Jan Villarubia

Former adult film performer
