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!

Before this podcast, I was lost and had no sense in myself. Now that I listen to this podcast, I’ve learned how to fight and how to think before consuming!

This documentary is very helpful for those who struggle with porn addiction. A lot of true examples and it gives hope to recover. Thank you very much.

I have self-esteem and trust issues. I’m still with my partner, and after talking about porn’s harm, we’re much better. I love him with all my heart, and I now feel he loves himself and me more than ever. I’m so happy I was finally able to communicate and feel free to talk about this.

I found porn in an effort to understand what was being done to me. As a 10-year-old boy, I was being molested and raped regularly by my 16-year-old male cousin. I found out later that he was addicted to porn, and that was part of what made him try to act it out on me. I struggled with porn and an unhealthy relationship with sex until my early 20s. I bought my first FTND shirt years ago, and I just joined the Fighter Club. Thank you guys for what you are doing to fight something that fuels sexual abuse and child trafficking and exploitation.

I have learned so much while listening to this podcast. My partner is an addict and it has helped me to learn what all goes into pornography, human trafficking, and exploitation. I have found something that I care about and support fully. Raising awareness is super important and Fight the New Drug and Consider Before Consuming are doing an amazing job with that!

“Fight for love.” You have no idea how this phrase is motivating me today. I’ve been struggling for more than 10 years with this addiction and it has been hard, falling again and again and again. But this movement came in a moment of darkness in my life when I thought there was no way out. My relationships were broken: girlfriend, family, and friends—all of them getting away because of my dark secret, and I couldn’t understand exactly why until I found FTND. Then it all made sense and put in me hope. I’m still struggling, but the frequency is less than the past years. I have some dark days, but phrases like “fight for love” give me a goal and remind me how important and special I am. Thanks, FTND!

So thankful for you guys. I got clean on July 14, 2012. Basically memorized your site to help me stay clean. Now I’m trying to raise awareness, and your podcasts have been invaluable.

Incredible! I learned so much! Thank you so much for creating this video! I need to share this information with the youth that I work with. THANK YOU!

Excellent! I am so happy that this is being discussed and brought to light in such a productive way. As an educator, I have seen the impact of pornography on younger and younger kids, and it’s heartbreaking. You are making a difference through raising awareness!

I am a happy young man now. Since taking the #NoPornovember challenge last year, I have been able to stay two months without a click on pornography. The start wasn’t easy but I am a better person now. Without porn, I have become more confident than I used to be. I don’t have a love life, but I am now a free person. It was always stressful to be a prisoner of pornography but Fight the New Drug has been very helpful. I am not ashamed anymore to talk about porn addiction and its effects and emptiness.

It feels great to contribute to something that’s helped me so much. When I discovered this amazing organization, I was really addicted to porn but wanted to quit. I ruined my relationship with my girlfriend at the time and pushed a lot of people away. Through FTND, I was able to conquer my addiction. I happened to stumble upon this website from a Google search. I’ll freely admit that when I first realized/discovered your site’s purpose, I immediately thought to myself, ‘It’s another one of those self-righteous “porn is bad” groups trying to tell people how to live.’ But once I read through your mission page, it became obvious that I was wrong. I’m actually very impressed by your goals that are the literal opposite of every other anti-porn group I’ve come across. Your stance of helping those who ask for it and respecting the freedoms of those who choose not to is extremely refreshing to see. I wish you luck!

I want to thank you for all the work you have been doing. At the beginning of last year, I got conscious about the real problem of pornography, and since then, I have been on a continuous fight. With wins and fails on quitting porn forever, I’m still on a long journey, but am much closer to the final objective. Soon I will finally be free, achieve the best version of myself, and discover true love.

Every young person and parent of young people should see this documentary. What a valuable tool and resource it is.

Hey y’all, I watched your three-part documentary series, Brain, Heart, World. It was absolutely amazing. Thank you for putting together this project and drawing awareness to not only the harms of pornography, but how a good life full of real and true love without porn truly changes the world! You have started a fire that will burn bright in the hearts of people, giving them the confidence and hope that a life without porn is not only possible, but so much better! Keep it up!

I’m grateful to have come across your website while I was searching for ways to stop my compulsive porn use. For the first time, I feel like I have the upper hand over my struggles. You gave me the strength to fight on when I was feeling helpless. By shedding light on the impact that porn has on me, the people closest to me, and the society at large, you encouraged me to quit porn. Not just for me but for everyone who is affected.

Thanks for your work, guys. The beginning of the pandemic was rough for me—I really struggled with pornography. I was doing research about it and came to your Instagram page, which led me to the podcast. I listened to like two episodes and, no word of a lie, I haven’t watched porn in at least eight months now. I can’t do it on my own, so finding your podcast was amazing. Thanks, guys.

Brain, Heart, World is such a great, quality documentary series! Looking forward to sharing this! I have a boyfriend who struggles, so I am trying to learn and understand!

I really appreciate these resources, help, and encouragement. It really does mean a lot. And thank you all so much for always being open and honest. These types of honest conversations are really needed in the world today. So thank you all. I know that it’s a process to rewire the brain, but I know that I can do this. You all are so valued and I can’t say thank you enough.

Every word spoken on the podcast has made me a better person for having listened to it. I’ve consumed pornography since I was a kid, and I’ve been disgusted with it for a very long time but still relapse. Jane Doe’s testimony is maybe the single most motivating thing I’ve encountered in overcoming my “need” for porn.
