I was 17 when a man asked me for naked pictures of myself.
Learn real solutions to overcome hurts and struggles, and start to thrive in life.
But I got up from the computer, locked my dorm room door, prayed my roommate wouldn’t come back and gave him his pictures. A moment I had been slowly sliding toward for several years had arrived — one that I had fooled myself into thinking I might avoid.
In my room, on a Christian college campus, I became pornography.
Good Christian girls don’t do that, do they?
When I was first exposed to pornography at the age of 13, I thought it was fun. I felt accepted. I felt like someone wanted me. It was an escape from the memories of an abusive childhood and the pressure of an awkward teenage life.
I thought pornography was a perfectly acceptable form of sexual release. It was safe. I wasn’t actually having sex, getting pregnant or contracting a sexually transmitted disease.
But eventually, porn took over my life. I was losing sleep, and schoolwork was getting harder to manage. I struggled to regain control.
Porn was interfering with the dreams and plans I had for my life. No matter how hard I tried to break free, I couldn’t. I went into my freshman year of college battling a full-fledged pornography addiction.
I was too afraid to tell anyone, so I hoped I would get caught. But when I did get caught by my school’s administration, they told me, “We know this wasn’t you. Women just don’t have this problem.”
I believed I would never be worth anything more than pixels on a screen. I was a freak of nature — not even human, and certainly not a woman. I was the only female in the world who struggled with this, and there was no way out. If it wasn’t acceptable to be a Christian girl who watched porn, then I would have to be the porn star who happened to be a Christian.
Does any of this sound familiar? Does it sound anything like you?
You might not be pursuing a life in the porn industry. You may have never sent your pictures to someone. Pornography might feel like nothing more than a hobby. And yet you may sense it taking your life in a direction you never intended to go.
You’re spending all your energy protecting this secret. You’re trying to outrun your problem as you push forward into school, relationships and ministry. You’re afraid of losing everything.
This thing you thought would liberate you now owns you. And it’s isolating you from everyone you know. Your friends aren’t talking about this problem. Neither is your church or your family. When you search for resources, they’re either about men or about the wives and girlfriends of addicts; there’s nothing for women addicted to porn.
Statistics can tell you that you are not alone. I can tell you that, but you will still feel alone. You believe no one will understand, so you can’t tell anybody.
It’s scary, I know. It feels like you’re betraying yourself. This secret you’ve been guarding and living life around will be dragged out into the light. Your sex life, virtual or physical, is one of the most intimate aspects of who you are. You will open yourself up to a new level of scrutiny and the possibility of rejection. But you will also open yourself up to new levels of freedom, healing, and grace.
For years, I tried breaking my pornography addiction on my own. I didn’t tell anyone because I was afraid that if I opened up this big, gaping wound, people would say, “Oh, well that’s sad,” and then walk away. It seemed safer to keep it quiet, but there was no healing in that silence — just shame.
At my Bible college, we had a women’s meeting with all of the female students. The dean stood at the front of the room and said, “We know some of you struggle with pornography … and we’re going to help you.”
They offered us a chance to share our struggles. I was terrified.
On the one hand, there was so much hope. Maybe I wasn’t alone. On the other hand, I was frustrated, embarrassed and skeptical. I hadn’t been able to get control of my porn problem. I was mad that God hadn’t gotten rid of it for me. But through tears, I admitted that I, Jessica Harris, struggled with pornography.
Do you know what they told me? They didn’t call me a freak. They didn’t ask what was wrong with me or tell me that women just don’t have this problem. They told me I was brave, and they promised to help me.
What followed was a long road. I met with a member of the dean’s staff once a week and we went through a special course for sex addicts. A couple of women on campus supported me as I learned how to live life without porn. It was hard, and there were times I felt like I was going through withdrawal. It took nearly two years before I was confident I had found freedom. Even then, I sometimes found myself slipping back into old habits. Many times, I wondered if it was worth it.
Recovery is not an easy road. The only easy road is the one where you give up, stop trying and slowly waste away. But God created you for so much more than that regardless of who you are or what you’ve done.
You don’t have to be controlled or defined by this struggle. You may have an addiction. But you are a treasured child of God.
I found hope and healing, and it’s available for you too. You are not alone.

How often do you watch porn? And would you consider that a healthy amount or are you compulsive about it?
Watching porn has become the norm for many who use it to spice things up in the bedroom or while away lonely nights.
But new research suggests that not all porn viewers are the same and, instead, can be split into three groups.
What’s concerning, though, is that only one of those groups is considered healthy.
A study published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine revealed there are recreational, compulsive and distressed porn viewers.
Recreational viewers account for 75 percent of all participants in the study, watching an average of 24 minutes of porn a week.
This group consisted of mainly women and people in relationships.
It was closely followed by the distressed group, who watched porn for the least amount of time – about 17 minutes per week.
As the name suggests, the distressed group associate their emotional distress with watching X-rated material.
Then there is the compulsive group.
This group may have made up just 11.8 percent of the participants, but watched a staggering 110 minutes of porn per week.
Researchers discovered that men were more likely to fall into this category.
The experts from Université Laval in Quebec who conducted the study said only those who were recreational viewers were healthy porn watchers.
To conduct the study, the researchers asked 830 people to report how often they watched porn, then measured it against how compulsive their porn habits were and their level of distress while viewing porn.
Recreational users reported higher sexual satisfaction and lower sexual compulsiveness, avoidance and dysfunction.
Compulsive users experienced lower sexual satisfaction and dysfunction and higher sexual compulsiveness and avoidance.
Those who were highly distressed but watched porn less were sexually less satisfied and reported less sexual activity and more sexual dysfunction and avoidance.

Lesbians are America's top choice when it comes to porn
The experts concluded that the study “confirms the existence of recreational and compulsive profiles but also demonstrates the existence of an important subgroup of not particularly active, yet highly distressed consumers.”
But while the majority who watch porn appear to be able to do so in a healthy manner, it can be a problem for some.
It is still not classified as a true addiction, but some researchers believe a person can become addicted to watching porn in the same way they can become addicted to drugs and alcohol.
Others argue that there is not enough evidence to support it being treated as an addiction.
