What Drives Women to Porn?
There’s more to her story.
Nearly 40% of online pornography is consumed by women. Yet for too long, women’s stories have been overlooked, misunderstood, or left unheard.
Behind every woman who struggles with pornography or other unwanted sexual behaviors is a story worth understanding. Those behaviors are often forms of sexual coping—not the root problem. They are symptoms of something deeper. Her story may be shaped by unmet emotional needs, attachment wounds, trauma, shame, or distorted beliefs about identity.
Inspired by her own story and informed by the stories of thousands of women, Crystal Renaud Day draws on nearly two decades of ministry, coaching, counseling, and original research to help readers understand the emotional, relational, identity, trauma, and spiritual drivers behind women’s sexual struggles.
Integrating insights from psychology, neuroscience, attachment theory, trauma-informed care, and Christian faith, she offers a compassionate, practical guide to lasting healing and wholeness.

Dirty Girls Come Clean, 2nd edition
For too long, pornography and sexual addiction were treated as men’s issues leaving women who struggled wondering if they were the only ones.
Dirty Girls Come Clean broke the silence.
First published in 2011, this groundbreaking book gave women permission to tell the truth about their struggles with pornography and other unwanted sexual behaviors and showed them that secrecy and shame did not have to have the final word.
Through honest stories, biblical truth, and a practical path toward recovery, Crystal Renaud Day invites women to step out of isolation and begin a journey of Surrender, Confession, Accountability, Responsibility, and Sharing—the five principles that would become The SCARS Model™.

You are not alone. And your story does not have to end here.

Dating Done Right: Pursuing Relationships on Purpose
Dating Done Right is a comprehensive guide to singleness and dating for men and women of any age or life stage. Crystal Renaud Day was inspired to write Dating Done Right shortly after she met her husband in 2017. However, Dating Done Right is the book she had always searched for as a single Christian living in the aftermath of the purity culture she grew up in. Dating Done Right encourages singles to be content right where they are. This is accomplished by getting to know who they are first and discover what they want before ever entering into a new relationship. Dating Done Right is also designed to encourage dating couples to get vulnerable with each other—not to casually date or be pressured to marry fast. Instead, dating couples are encouraged to pursue relationships on purpose with marriage in mind.
In Dating Done Right, Crystal shares her own personal journey of perpetual singleness, her heartache along the way, and the joy she found both in her singleness and after meeting her husband. Comprised of relatable stories and over 500 reflection questions, individuals will learn to navigate singleness and dating with wisdom.
