Porn: Not just a guy’s issue.
Have you ever felt as though you are the only woman to struggle with porn addiction? Have you ever felt as though you’re too far gone to ever be helped?
One in three visitors to adult websites are women. So why is there a resounding silence for women looking for recovery resources? How are women meant to recover when they have simply been left out of the conversation?
Alice Taylor knows firsthand the loneliness, shame and desperation of being a woman hooked on pornography. She also knows just what it takes to overcome addiction and live a full life of freedom.
Restored offers hope in the form of a guide for any woman struggling with compulsive sexual behaviours. With compassion, vulnerability, a touch of humour, and a uniquely feminine voice, this book outlines ten steps to break free from pornography and shame, and experience the joy of restoration.
On this journey you will delve into real recovery stories and tackle serious questions such as:
- Is masturbation okay for a Christian woman?
- How do I tell someone I struggle with sexual sin?
- How do I overcome feelings of shame?
- Why do I keep going back to porn?
- Can I have good married sex after porn addiction?
- Could God really forgive me?
This book acts as a powerful antidote to the secrecy of shame, speaking to the hearts and minds of women struggling with addiction.
You are not alone. Freedom is possible. And you, too, can be restored.

Forest Benedict, LMFT, SATP, Author of
Life After Lust: Stories & Strategies for Sex & Pornography Addiction Recovery. ‘When women are excluded from the conversation about porn addiction and recovery, they are shamed into silence. This type of shaming has happened far too often in the mental health and addiction treatment field. Bravo to Alice Taylor for breaking through. Though Alice’s take on life and recovery is distinctly Christian, all women who struggle with compulsive porn use will find this book both reassuring and useful.’
Dr. Robert Weiss, Chief Clinical Officer of Seeking Integrity, author of
Sex Addiction 101, Prodependence, and other books.
‘Untold numbers of women who struggle in silence and shame will clap, “Me, too!” when they read Restored. This raw, hopeful, and honest book is a practical recovery guide that also examines the underlying roots for compulsive pornography use and tackles taboo issues like masturbation with nuance and sensitivity. Restored avoids the rigidity of black-and-white-recovery approaches and goes after a woman’s pain-filled heart and her longing for healing. This grace-filled work will resonate with Christian women and with those who struggle to believe in a loving God. I’m so glad to add this terrific resource to my recommendations for female porn and sex addicts!’
