Many people share a similar story. Childhood can lead, eventually, to consuming porn in order to fill a void, and perhaps to feel something. But eventually, the feelings are gone and the desensitization of porn is complete. Ovienrioba is correct in stating that at some point you stop seeing people and you begin to see nothing more than sex objects for your own pleasure. It’s no secret that the porn and sex-trafficking industries are also intricately linked. After all, if a person on a video is just a sex object, why can’t a person I “rent” also be a sex object?

No one wakes up one day with the goal of watching more than 400 hours of porn and becoming addicted to the harmful images. Yet Ovienrioba was that person. At her lowest she was so addicted that she couldn’t go a day without porn and watched multiple times a day. The idea of watching porn for 8 hours a day for 10 weeks is…horrible. But here is someone who has lived this reality.

I have no doubt it was hard for Ovienrioba to share this story as it’s intensely personal. But her willingness to be candid and open up about her experience can help others. The fact is, she’s not alone. More and more women are reporting addictions to porn and seeking help. The historically male problem is now a cultural problem that must be addressed.

What helped Ovienrioba to quit was starting a relationship with Jesus Christ. When she learned that Jesus wanted to have a relationship with her she gave her life to Jesus and walked away from porn for good. Ovienrioba now guards herself and what she sees and hears carefully. So careful is she that she avoids certain music that is sexually suggestive, won’t read sexually suggestive books or watch shows with sexual material. Her measures might sound extreme to some, but they keep her from falling back into the trap of porn addiction.

Maybe they aren’t that extreme after all.
