It’s Time to Break free

No matter how isolated you feel, you are not alone. Porn isn’t a male or female problem…it’s a human problem.

One survey from 2016 found that more than 1 in 4 women seek out porn at least occasionally. More recent studies show this number is increasing.

Brooke shared with us:

“Being a woman, I felt intense shame over the fact that I was struggling with something that was always talked about as something that men struggled with. I watched a video on Covenant Eyes where a woman shared her story of freedom from porn and it gave me the comfort that I needed that I wasn’t alone.”

Unfortunately, most churches have failed to recognize the issue of female porn use and left many women struggling in the dark. One survey found that only 7% of women had ever heard female porn use mentioned in a sermon.

But there hope—and help—available for you right now.

It’s also important to realize that help is out there. The voice of shame tells us that we will never be good enough and that no one will understand our struggle. We fear that if people see who we really are, they will judge and reject us. But many women have often found that, when they do open up about their struggle, they’re surrounded by more support, community, and love than they could have imagined.

There are many women who’ve struggled with pornography and have successfully defeated it (you can hear some of their stories in the resources provided on this page). Opening up and telling your story to a trusted friend can be one of the most courageous and freeing things you ever do. Take heart and seek help today!

Esther shared with us:

“After nearly 10 years of my life bound by porn, I finally found sustained victory. As a young lady, I felt more alone in my addiction. That’s when I met my now accountability partner who has battled with me in her own journey to fight porn. The Lord has been good in giving me 2.5 years of sustained victory. By His grace alone I’ve now been able to help other young ladies like myself find freedom from porn. Victory is possible! You’re not alone.”

When you find yourself “stuck” in singleness, waiting to move on to the next phase of life, it can feel incredibly frustrating. It’s often hard, feeling like you have no sexual outlet, and feeling trapped in your singleness. And many people believe they have no recourse other than turning to porn.

But it doesn’t have to be this way.

You can find freedom and wholeness outside of pornography. Check out our course for women, Arise, led by Beth Davis. She’s a single woman who struggled with pornography for many years.
