Also, I understand why having “enough” could be a way of managing one’s want of superstimulus, but the idea is that when you’re addicted, “enough” is a moving target. The only way to become “un-addicted” would be to abstain, or at the least titrate downwards. If the thesis behind “Your Brain on Porn” is correct, then this period of rebooting is necessary if one is to properly manage one’s addictions to a certain superstimulus, especially if the addiction is strong. Otherwise, there is always going to be some level of control that is taken away.
