Girls and Porn: It Isn’t Just a Guy Thing

May 20, 2017

A lot of people assume that looking at porn is a thing that only guys do. But even though men are more likely to look at porn than women, it isn’t just a guy thing.


The Barna Group conducted an extensive survey in 2014 and found that 76% of 18-30 year-old women view porn at least once a month and 21% of 18-30 year-old women say they look at porn at least several times a week.


But is porn a harmless habit?

According to one study, prolonged exposure to pornography leads to:

  • Reduced trust between intimate couples
  • Belief that everyone is promiscuous
  • Belief that abstinence is unhealthy
  • Cynicism about love


We recently wrote about some of the other negative effects porn can have on you and your relationships.

Pornography can also be dangerous for young women because of our tendency to compare ourselves to what we see online. According to a 2016 article in The New York Times, alarming numbers of teenage girls are asking their doctors to perform cosmetic surgery on their genitals. Most doctors believe girls are requesting this surgery because it is so easy to go online and look up pornographic pictures, then compare ourselves to those photographs. But those pictures are almost always airbrushed and don’t show the realistic images of all different shapes and sizes and colors. Because porn isn’t real life.


You deserve to have a healthy, positive view of yourself. You also deserve to have healthy relationships, now and in the future. We’re designed for connection with people, and porn is a substitute for those real, healthy relationships.



If you’re struggling with an addiction to pornography, we want to help you be free from it. We’ll listen and connect you to the resources you need. Call us and set up an appointment today.

Has Nebraska Banned Abortion Completely After the 2024 Election?

January 2, 2025
Following the 2024 election, many people have questions about Nebraska's abortion laws and whether the state has enacted a complete ban. Abortion is not entirely banned in Nebraska. A proposed measure to add abortion to the state constitution failed during the 2024 election, while a separate measure that enshrined the current 12-week ban passed. What is the Law? The state currently allows abortion up to 12 weeks but with specific exceptions for certain circumstances. These exceptions include: Cases of rape or incest. Medical emergencies where the life of the mother is at risk or where continuing the pregnancy would result in irreversible physical harm. The legislation aims to balance restrictions with considerations for the health and safety of women under exceptional circumstances. What Does This Mean for Women in Nebraska? For women facing an unexpected pregnancy, Nebraska’s current abortion laws mean you have to be aware of the status of your pregnancy, especially for those who may not meet the legal exceptions. It’s important to seek timely medical confirmation of your pregnancy to understand your options. If you are unsure about how far along you are or have concerns about your pregnancy, seeking an ultrasound and professional advice can help clarify your situation and determine your next steps.
