Impact

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!

FTND does AMAZING things! Keep it up!

Mar 2015

I’m happy to see FTND fighting the shame and stigma that gets in the way of people getting help. The first few years of my addiction counseling with a therapist were focused entirely on dismantling the deep-rooted shame built up by myself and others. Porn addiction is a cycle fueled by shame, and though I know people’s intentions are good, people need to know that when they tell people they are shameful for struggling, they are part of the problem. Thanks, FTND, for publicly stating this.

I really enjoyed the many aspects of Brain, Heart, World, and how it showed that females struggle, too. I did not understand until last year when I was doing my high school senior thesis paper and presentation that women also struggled, which just shows the stigma behind the subject.

The work that FTND does was key to overcoming my pornography addiction. I always considered what I was doing as harming no one but myself, but coming to terms with the violence and trafficking within the sex industry was eye-opening and led me to stop consuming. Thank you!

FTND was a huge help as I was healing from a breakup with a self-professed porn addict. Your resources helped me to understand what porn was doing to him and to our relationship. My self-esteem suffered greatly while I was with him and after we broke up. But it has since recovered leaps and bounds thanks in large part to FTND. Thanks for doing what you’re doing.

It is a breath of fresh air to be able to listen and learn about the harmful, toxic effects of pornography from a research and facts-based organization. We need more great people in this world like the folks at FTND. While porn does not always show physical damage on the outside, it produces emotional rifts on the inside.

Your organization is doing INCREDIBLE work and I applaud your efforts. Thank you for bringing awareness to the dangers of porn.

I wanted to take this time to say thank you. Thanks for all that y’all do to shine a light on pornography and sexual exploitation. When I was a kid, my dad did things to my sister that I won’t mention. His pornography addiction cost him his two precious children. There were many years I was hurt by those circumstances and held onto my anger. Since then, I’ve been able to attend a recovery program and use Fortify. I’m now starting my own organization with a friend that centers around child abduction prevention. I am grateful for all that y’all do. Fight on!

Your articles and documentary have helped me so much with my fight. I’m very fortunate to have you guys work so hard every day to help me. So, thanks for everything you’ve done for me and for people around the world.

Thanks for making this movie. I am 37 and I was in my bubble during these years, suffering the cause and effects of porn. I wanted to talk about this, but I felt ashamed to talk publicly. Porn stole my childhood and my passion for this world. Everything was clouded by porn thoughts, irrespective of relationships. I am a meditation practitioner now and it helps a lot with making me more productive in many areas of my life. But the intensity of porn wiring my brain was huge and I still struggle a lot. I was looking for methods, motivation, and especially information to be helpful for me and finally, I found this documentary series. It’s so enlightening and also makes me feel happy to see the laughing faces at the end of each episode. Thanks again for being such wonderful human beings. Please spread the truth as much as you can, and I will do my part.

Thank you so much for the Brain,Heart,World videos. It broke it down very well and in a way that got through to my husband, I think. Keep up the great work!

I almost cried. It was really emotional, and I can definitely relate. I’m 26 years of age, and I have been porn-free for 5 days now. I’m super happy and my energy is less drained. Porn creates erectile dysfunction and objectifies women and I don’t want to be a part of it.

Your hard work is paying off. I love you and thank you. People are waking up to the harmful effects of this industry!

I’m a high school counselor, and I see how, in teen culture, sending and receiving nudes has become “normal.” I see the firsthand effects this has on both boys and girls: depression, anxiety, shame, guilt, suicidal ideation, self-harm, and in some cases, death by suicide. I always direct my clients to your work for help. Thank you for shedding light on this pivotal issue our teens and children are facing.

Thank you for starting this movement! You’ve helped us so much through our healing journey and we are endlessly grateful. You guys are amazing!

I wanted to say thanks so much for your podcast. It was very encouraging and a great reminder I’m not alone in struggling, and it provided me with sobering facts I’d never heard before in a format I’d never seen before. Keep on keeping on! I’ll try to do my best as well!

FTND is so amazing and helpful. Thank you for all you do, especially in educating people. You don’t focus on morality, and you are clear about long-lasting harm to all involved, including viewers.

Today’s Wall Street Journal article about TikTok and kids finally motivated me to donate to you, which I’ve been meaning to for a long time. I also joined the Fighter Club. I am making this donation to help support the movement because no woman should ever face the unimaginable pain and suffering that is caused by pornography. Every woman should be treated with care and respect.

Just wanted to say thanks for what you guys do! My husband quit porn 17 months ago and hasn’t gone back since. We really love your page. We got married when I was 19 and he was 23, and he lied about his addiction for a year during our 3 years of marriage. But now he’s free from it, and is happier than ever and makes great choices and our relationship is so much better even though it has been tough. The honesty that has come from it has been amazing. Keep doing what you’re doing!!
