One Month. One Million People. One Powerful Choice.
This November, something huge is happening.
Across the world, millions are standing up, speaking out, and stepping away from porn for 30 days. It’s called No Porn November, and this year, it’s part of something even bigger — The November Project.
This isn’t just another challenge. It’s a movement — a rally cry for connection in a world flooded with lies about what sex, love, and connection should look like.
Because let’s be real: we’ve been told that watching porn is normal, harmless, even healthy. But research — and countless real stories — say otherwise. Porn rewires your brain, wrecks relationships, and fuels an industry built on exploitation.
So here’s your challenge: Go 30 days without porn.
Not just to prove you can, but to find out who you become when you stop letting porn impact your mental health, relationships, and the world around you.
Pledge 30 Days Without Porn
Quitting porn can feel impossible. We get it. But you don’t need to be perfect — you just need to start. Pledge with millions around the world and participate in a 30-day global challenge and go porn free with support, resources, and direction.
By pledging to quit porn with The November Project, you’ll receive totally free daily challenges and motivations created by experts, including therapists and mental health professionals. The challenge also has its own unique community forum for you to connect with others in the same boat. Participation is totally anonymous and private.
Every day you choose to fight back, you’re breaking habits, healing your mind, and building freedom. You’re joining a global family of Fighters who believe there’s something better than porn — and they’re living proof it’s possible.
Why Quit Porn This November
Let’s talk about what porn really does — not what the industry wants you to believe.
It rewires your brain.
Your brain is built to adapt. The more porn you watch, the more it craves — leading to desensitization and escalation. Science shows it can function just like an addiction, constantly needing more intense stimulation to feel satisfied. Pornography is connected to increased rates of depression, anxiety, and stress. It can be an escalating behavior leading consumers to watch porn they previously said they’d never watch. Fighters who have quit porn have reported decreases in stress, fatigue, depression, and brain fog, and have found increased energy, self-worth, and mental clarity.
It damages relationships.
Studies show that porn users report lower levels of satisfaction, trust, and intimacy. Prn doesn’t just affect your sex life — it reshapes how you see people, and increases the likelihood of you seeing people as objects versus real people. Countless individuals have told us how their sex life actually improved after they cut porn, and their relationships with their loved ones got better.
It fuels exploitation.
Porn’s darker side isn’t a secret anymore. Research links porn consumption to higher tolerance for sexual violence and objectification. Porn is also the second most common form of sex trafficking, according to cases reported to the National Human Trafficking Hotline. Countless trafficiking survivors have shared their experience illustrating that what you see on the screen is not always reality.
Porn doesn’t just shape fantasy — it’s shaping culture.
But this November, we’re pushing back.
