Since 2009, we've given visibility to research and personal accounts demonstrating how pornography can negatively impact individuals, relationships, and society. Through this grassroots movement, millions of people have found hope and freedom. We couldn't do this without Fighters like you!
Super thankful to find you guys during recovery. 15 days so far and I feel like I have an entirely new mindset. I’m more calm, focused, clear, and confident than even before. It’s the wildest thing: I could probably count on one hand the amount of times I even got 15 days porn-free in over 13 years. This time it’s for good and I’m not looking back. I have new habits in place and am running straight through this thing!
I am not typically a person to listen to podcasts, but this is such an important topic. This is such educational and preventative information to help those who haven’t dealt with this (such as myself) in better helping us to understand the impact that this issue has on our generation. This information also helps those of us who haven’t dealt with these issues to be better equipped to help those who do struggle with pornography, etc. Everyone should listen in and they should educate themselves, or find help!
This movement has been crucial to my 10+ years recovering from porn. Since being introduced as an 8-year-old child, I have found the light on the other side of the tunnel, but recovery is not easy. Thank you for your openness and honesty about what porn does to our brains and lives. I was gifted a Street Team kit for Christmas and I took it to Romania and handed FTND’s resources to students who had never before taken the time to consider the dangers of porn over its momentary pleasure. I wish you could have seen the lightbulb going off in their eyes! It’s only right that I can support you guys, so I do.
As a young boy, I did not get any education on sex or have anywhere to turn to get my questions answered. The circles I was in presented sex as something that was gross, dirty, and wrong to want until marriage. Essentially, I feel like a lot of circles try to scare sexual desire out of people at a young age because, in their minds, it protects them. But when I got older and inevitably had these thoughts, questions, and desires, I felt like I had no person to go to in order to get answers and so because of my curiosity I stumbled upon porn but had nobody I could go to. My hope is to help change the stigma and the conversation around pornography and to help kids make an educated decision on it.
You guys helped me quit porn because you showed me that I wasn’t broken. You showed me that I’m fighting for love and for true intimacy and connection. The information you provide has helped me enlighten others about the dangers of porn. Thank you. Keep fighting. I know that a lot of people like me only lurk around your page, but just know that you are helping people. I know you are because you have helped me. Keep fighting. Fight for love!
I wanted to reach out and let you know that this organization is really an incredible resource, especially for other teenagers like me. I chose to write my most recent research paper on the detriments of pornography. I knew it wasn’t a good thing, but I was shocked by the sheer number of ways it can negatively impact a person. This paper quickly became priority number one in school. Fight the New Drug provided a lot of information that really benefited me as both a person and a writer. I check in regularly to see what new information is available and always look forward to reading more. Thank you for providing this information for us.
This issue has left me feeling sad, helpless, angry, misunderstood, and lonely for so many years. Your team did amazing work by creating research-based content that makes it possible to have an actual constructive discussion about it. Reading through your website reminded me that we are not alone in this fight for change. Thank you so much for all the hard work you put in there. It really made a difference for me!
Thank you so much for creating the incredible three-part documentary. Not only did it open my eyes to so many of the impacts of the porn industry, but it has revealed to me how my own behaviors are fuelling and contributing to the problem. I wish you every success and look forward to joining you and helping where I can.
