“Only men watch porn”
Women don’t really struggle with porn — or do they?
This is a common falsehood that traps many women in secrecy, fear, and shame.
You might feel like “Rosalie” who emailed us saying,
“I feel so alone. I’m a Christian woman and I’m addicted to watching porn. I don’t know any other woman who struggles with porn!”
However, the most current data (2021) from a major U.S.-based porn site reveals that 32% of viewers are women.
A significant 2016 study done by the Barna group noted that 56% of women under age 25 view porn, and more than 30% watch porn regularly. [1]
Three out of every ten women around you, at the minimum, are likely watching porn on a regular basis. And some of them desperately want to quit but are too ashamed to ask for help.
Perhaps women are just quieter about their sexual habits? But facts are facts. If you're a woman struggling with porn, you aren’t alone.
In fact, the good news is that admitting you struggle is a significant first step toward reaching out to get help. You can break porn’s secret hold on you by asking a trusted friend, mentor, or even a professional counselor to help.
Many people – women and men alike – have found that accountability software plus an accountability partner makes quitting porn easier and much more successful. When you ask for a helping hand, you’ll no longer feel alone! Women, too, can gain wonderful freedom from porn.
You might feel worn down, tired and hopeless because the lies of porn have told you there is no way out. You might feel like you are so far gone because you’ve tried so many times to end your relationship with porn without success. Or, perhaps you love someone stuck in an endless cycle of indulgence and regret.
