Rewired vs. EasyPeasy: Understanding the Problem vs. Having a Plan

EasyPeasy is free and worth reading. What it doesn't give you is a plan. How Rewired's cited 84-day program picks up where the last page ends.

EasyPeasy is a free, open-source book that adapts Allen Carr's stop-smoking method to porn. It costs nothing, collects nothing, and sells nothing. If you haven't read it, read it — the real thing is free at easypeasymethod.org. We mean that.

We also sell a competing product, so read the rest of this page knowing that. Everything below is quoted and dated from public pages, and you can check any of it yourself. This page isn't about whether EasyPeasy is good. It's about what happens after the last page.

What EasyPeasy gets right

Free, open-source, and CC-licensed — anyone can legally copy it. No email wall, no countdown, no upsell, no account. Its testimonials are raw forum posts, unpolished on purpose, rather than a carousel of five-star strangers. And it shares our least common conviction: it's anti-streak — it explicitly tells you not to white-knuckle or cut down while you read.

In a market full of trial traps and prices hidden behind a quiz, that makes EasyPeasy honorable. It's why it's the default recommendation in communities like r/pornfree, and why it holds a 4.17★ average across 684 Goodreads ratings (as of July 2026), with far larger free circulation that no counter captures. None of what follows is a knock on the book. It's a description of where the book ends.

Where it ends: understanding isn't a plan

EasyPeasy's method is reading the book once, in order — "DO NOT JUMP CHAPTERS," it repeats — and by design there is no day two. Its promises are absolute and unsourced. Its own site says the method will help you "stop using pornography immediately, painlessly, and permanently without willpower," that it is "Instantaneous. Equally as effective for the heavy and casual user alike," with "thousands stopping every day using this method" (their site, as of July 2026). There are no studies cited across its 32 chapters, and the author is pseudonymous ("Hackauthor²") with no credentials claimed. Fair is fair: our author uses a pen name too — you'll find that in the table below.

The point isn't that it lies. It profits from nothing and pressures no one. The point is that it asserts without citing, and leaves no structure for the weeks after the reframe. Its own communities carry a recurring pattern of posts — it worked, for a while, and then the certainty wore off. The habit-formation research puts the time to automate a new pattern at a median of 66 days (Lally et al., 2010). A one-afternoon reframe doesn't cover the window in which the habit is actually rewritten — the 66-day median, explained. That's the gap Rewired is built for: not a better argument, but the 84 days after the argument. If you've never used a structured program before, that difference is the whole thing.

A one-afternoon reframe covers the argument. The habit-formation research puts the median time to automate a new pattern at 66 days (Lally et al., 2010) — an observational, self-reported field study, so 66 is a median, not a deadline. The 84 days are built for that window. observational

Side-by-side

EasyPeasy comes first here, on purpose. Two columns, only verifiable facts. Where a cell quotes the other product, it's their own words.

The price row they win, and always will — it's first for a reason. The author row names a weakness we share before you find it: two pen names, one of which stakes everything on citations you can open yourself.

Different promises, on purpose

EasyPeasy promises "permanently." We don't — not because we believe less in you, but because no honest product can promise that, and we only say what we can cite. What we do instead: every claim sourced to peer-reviewed research, correlational stated as correlational, a slip treated as data rather than day zero (Curry, Marlatt & Gordon, 1987), and a 7-day money-back guarantee so the risk of finding out is ours. If the difference between a slip and a relapse is where past attempts fell apart, that's the part the 84 days are structured around.

What the research supports
  • Automating a new pattern takes a median of 66 days (Lally et al., 2010).
  • A single slip doesn't undo habit formation — it's data, not day zero (Curry, Marlatt & Gordon, 1987).
  • Every claim sourced to peer-reviewed research, with correlational findings stated as correlational.
What no honest product can claim
  • Not a cure, and not “permanent” — no product can honestly promise that.
  • Understanding the problem is not the same as having a plan.
  • A reframe covers the argument; it doesn't cover the 84-day window.

Common questions

Should I read EasyPeasy before buying Rewired?

Honestly — yes, if you haven't. It's free, it takes an afternoon, and for some men the reframe alone is enough. If it holds for you, you never need us. If you recognize the pattern of it working for a couple of weeks and then fading, that's the exact gap the 84-day program was built for.

Why did EasyPeasy stop working for me after a few weeks?

You didn't fail the book. EasyPeasy's method is a one-time cognitive reframe — by design there's no day two, no structure for the weeks when the certainty wears off. The habit-formation research puts the median time to automate a new pattern at 66 days (Lally et al., 2010). A reframe covers the argument; it doesn't cover the window.

Is Rewired just a paid version of the same method?

No. EasyPeasy adapts Allen Carr's smoking method: remove the desire through argument. Rewired is built the other way — explain the mechanism with cited research, then walk an 84-day protocol day by day. Different tool for a different failure mode. The men we built this for usually already understand the problem. Understanding isn't a plan.

If EasyPeasy is free, why pay $79?

You're not paying for the idea that porn is worth quitting — EasyPeasy gives you that for free, and we recommend it. You're paying for what it deliberately doesn't include: a structured 84-day program, every claim cited so you can check it, and a 7-day guarantee. If that's not worth $79 to you, use the free book with our blessing.

Does Rewired promise I'll quit permanently?

No. EasyPeasy says "permanently"; we don't use that word, because no honest product can. We cite what the research shows — including that a single slip doesn't undo habit formation (Lally et al., 2010) — and we structure the 84 days so a slip is information, not day zero.
