Item description for Wired For Intimacy by Struthers William...
Pornography is powerful. Our contemporary culture as been pornified, and it shapes our assumptions about identity, sexuality, the value of women and the nature of relationships. Countless Christian men struggle with the addictive power of porn. But common spiritual approaches of more prayer and accountability groups are often of limited help.
In this book neuroscientist and researcher William Struthers explains how pornography affects the male brain and what we can do about it. Because we are embodied beings, viewing pornography changes how the brain works, how we form memories and make attachments. By better understanding the biological realities of our sexual development, we can cultivate healthier sexual perspectives and interpersonal relationships. Struthers exposes false assumptions and casts a vision for a redeemed masculinity, showing how our sexual longings can actually propel us toward sanctification and holiness in our bodies.
With insights for both married and single men alike, this book offers hope for freedom from pornography.

Reviews - What do customers think about Wired For Intimacy?
 | Is one good chapter worth the price of the book? Jun 3, 2010 |
Chapter 4 looks really good but the rest of the book is a religious hook based on "biblical principals." It is sickening to see a religious tract pretending to be science. I want my money back! | | |  | Not very helpful. May 12, 2010 |
| I bought the kindle version of this book. I was hoping to find helpful information that would assist me in understanding someone I know who is addicted to porn. However, this book is overly clinical (with numerous citations throughout the book) and seems aimed more at a therapist or counselor than a lay person. The book is not so much about porn as it is about male brokenness. The chapters on porn are short and point out the obvious. This book would have been more helpful with stories of individuals who were addicted to porn and recovered. This book could also benefit others if it had a chapter on how to live with/deal with/help someone addicted to porn. It's a very dry read; perhaps this was just an expansion of a journal paper? Kindle comments: the tables and copyright page are impossible to read (very tiny) on a Kindle 2. There is misplaced hyphenation and extra spaces between words. I also noticed some grammar and typographical errors, but that is not the Kindle's fault. | | |  | Out of the heart, not the mind! Mar 31, 2010 |
| I read this book with great interest, hoping that someone would finally help me get the connection between the brain and sexual sin. I still don't get it. If Jesus Christ says, "out of the heart comes sexual immorality" then sexual sin doesn't originate in the brain. It originates in the heart. The biblical view of sexual sin must never waiver from the heart influencing the brain, then the brain influencing the behavior. The HEART is "wired" for false intimacy. The heart MUST be change to change the brain, to change the behavior. The author will help many understand the importance of the brain, but being weak on the heart as the cause, is very problematic! False intimacy False Intimacy: Understanding the Struggle of Sexual Addiction is not primarily caused by the brain; not by our dysfunctional parents; not by our spouse; not by the Internet; and not by our circumstances. It is critical to have an uncompromising view of the heart as the cause; and that heart change is the only real change Undefiled: Redemption From Sexual Sin, Restoration For Broken Relationships. The heart as the cause of false intimacy/sexual sin is the alternative radical biblical view in our therapeutic culture. | | |  | Great Help In Time of Need For All Mar 26, 2010 |
Wired For Intimacy: How Pornography Hijacks the Male Brain. (EasyRead Large Edition)
Great book, great help for anyone looking for answers in this technological world that has to some extent separated human and to an extent fractured humanity. This book offers perspective on the background of this corrupted industry and explains and shows it's fruit, its bad fruit for man.
God wants to give us life and make it more abundant and that includes sex, the gift of God given to man exclusively, not to animals as they only reproduce but no, man expresses his love to his spouse via sex. It is an expression of love and a special worship of God within the holy of holies behind the veil in the private bedroom of our hearts and rooms with our husband, our wife.
May this book bless and give hope and redemption in the midst of this corrupted and perverted world. There is hope, there is peace, there is grace, there is love in the Lord Jesus Christ. | | |  | awesome Jan 30, 2010 |
This is a fantastic read. Although parts get rather clinical, I found it captured my attention all the way through. Great for professionals in the fields of counseling and psychology as well as those who really want to fully understand what porn addiction is, how it is manifested, what damage it scientifically does,and how to overcome.
I wish their had been more information on healing porn addiction than there was, but over all, I was very happy with my purchase. | | | Write your own review about Wired For Intimacy
