If anyone tells you that pornography is only a male problem, they are either in denial, lying to you, or are simply unaware.
Women struggle with porn too.
This is actually part of my own story that I haven’t shared yet on my blog, but I’m writing into my book. My husband brought pornography into our young marriage over 13 years ago and I found it difficult to resist. It was one of the symptoms of my sick heart. During our healing and restoration, both my husband and I were able, with the power of God renewing our minds, to stop viewing pornography. And we’ve been free from it for almost 6 years.
That’s just another part of the amazing grace of it all.
My friend Crystal Renaud, a former porn addict herself, is launching a new ministry. Dirty Girls Ministries (DGM) is a Christian anti-pornography ministry created to help women who struggle with pornography addiction. The mission of Dirty Girls is to:
- Bring awareness to the porn problem among women today
- Show struggling women they are not alone
- Demonstrate hope for recovery from this addiction
- Explain that the Bible and Jesus have the answer
DGM offers recovery groups, coaching networks, resources and prayer support for women with this of problem.
What do you think? Why do you think pornography has crossed the gender line?
