Very grateful to him, but I mostly admire his work towards helping all those people who struggle with pornography. He really brought awareness to this big issue and I believe his work will inspire many others to help make this addiction even more legit and worldwide known.

If it wasn't for Gary, I actually don't know what may have become of me, but one thing I know is I would probably be very depressed, and have possibly run very thin on hope. Thank you Gary, you have in my opinion, fundamentally saved a generation, and many more to come, from complete and total suffering.

    Like you Noah, hearing Gary’s TED talk in 2013 precipitated changes which both revolutionised my future and made sense of my past. I don’t think we’ve yet seen just how powerful and transformative Gary’s work may turn out to be. Though his impact was huge, the task ahead is tremendous; with porn addiction still not fully recognised, the science still emerging, and a porn industry holding billions of people in their grip. We haven’t yet seen the horrors which may yet erupt from the ‘smartphone generation’. I hope you’ll continue to carry on the fight in the amazing way that you do, and that you have all the support you need to do so.
