Porn can have a huge impact on our body image and relationships. Now 32% of porn users are women and I receive messages every week from women who are struggling with the impact of porn on their marriage. Today I talk to Joy Skarka, an expert on this topic. She has a powerful testimony of finding freedom in this arena and helps women break free from the shame porn brings. This is an issue that’s growing and impacting even the youngest eyes–so listen today and learn what you can do to fight this battle or help someone you love fight it!

Here’s what we talk about in this episode:

• 32% of consumers of pornography are women and the number is growing.
• What porn is doing to our relationships and our ability to be intimate.
• Why porn is leading to the rise of abuse in marriages.
• How this is affecting teen relationships.
• How reading erotica or sexually charged content can be just as dangerous if not more harmful than watching pornography.
• What to understand about your body image if your husband is struggling with pornography.
• Joy’s acronym tip that helps us practically stay free from addictions
