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!

Brain, Heart, World really gives you an in-depth explanation about how pornography affects you physically and I love how you had several examples of people who had gone through this problem to make it more personal and meaningful.

Amazing! Thank you for highlighting solid science, courageous men and women, and working to create a better world. Our greatest enemy in all of these battles is hopelessness. Thanks, especially, for bringing hope!

Hi, just wanted to let you know that at midnight, I’ll be seven days porn-free. It’s been a long time since I’ve gone a week without porn, and I’ve had zero urges to do it after doing research on the porn industry and using the resources you suggested. I’m not saying I’m completely in the clear, of course, since it’s been a week, but after only a week of no porn and no shame, I’ve been able to think clearly for the first time, I can feel good emotions again, and every day feels beautiful. If that’s just after a week, I can’t wait to see what’s to come. Thank you.

I’m thankful for organizations like FTND! Because of you talking about the harmful effects of porn, I’m now attending college in the fall and getting a degree in psychology to help trafficked women recover. I never knew that trafficking and porn went hand-in-hand. Thank you for showing that to me and thank you for repping a good cause!

Great content and super helpful as I lead volunteers of students to have conversations about pornography with students!

I started following this organization on Instagram a couple of months ago, and I so appreciate your mission, your passion, and your drive! This podcast is so raw and informative. 10/10 would recommend!

Hey, guys! Four days ago, I reached my 1-year mark in recovery. I can honestly say that abstaining from porn has been the best thing that’s ever happened to me. I have my life back! And while I can say my life isn’t perfect, this recovery period has given me the tools I need to embrace every challenge that comes my way! I no longer need to resort to porn to numb my feelings and escape my problems, I found the strength within me to fight and keep moving forward no matter what, and it’s so worth it! I think clearer, I sleep better, my relationships are amazing, and I no longer look at women as objects and can actually look them in the eyes without feeling guilty and wondering what they would say.

Fighting this is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I’m proud to be a Fighter!

I want to give the people who created Fight the New Drug a million hugs. They’ve spoken out on the dangers and damage of pornography in a way our society so desperately needed. Not to mention, they fight against human trafficking. Thank you!

I can honestly say that discovering FTND was a massive breath of fresh air! My relationship got off to a rocky start due to discovering that my boyfriend watched porn. It made me feel extremely negative in so many ways, and yet I was made to feel that it was my issue because, “Porn is not a big deal! It’s not cheating!” Thankfully, four years on, we are more on the same page with the subject of porn. I fully support FTND and will be spreading the word!

Thank you so much for the resources you’ve sent me–it means more than you know. Thank you.

I wish I could hug you. This video impacted me more than you can imagine. Thank you, FTND. You inspire me daily to use my voice and I’m getting closer to being ready to do that.

Hi, I’ve been struggling with a porn addiction for at least 4 years now. I just wanted to let y’all know that looking through your different content really helped me to finally tell my girlfriend about my addiction. I’m almost a month clean now. Keep fighting the good fight.

Thanks!! Your posts have been really helpful for me since I decided to quit porn for good a few months ago.

Jul 2021

Since I started informing myself through your documentary and publications, I’m finally changing myself and I’m starting to get rid of this horrible habit that I had since I was 12.

Apr 2020

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.

Over these last 12 months, I’ve been deeply impacted by your organization. I discovered Fight the New Drug during my research on the harms of porn and can’t begin to express the level of gratitude I have for those of you who created Brain, Heart, World. I know you don’t know me personally, but I want to simply thank you all for your dedication to this fight. Since discovering this film, I have hosted several viewings with friends, and with the men in my local community (about 100 men, ages 18-75). Each viewing is powerful and leaves every person deeply impacted. From my experience, after viewing Brain, Heart, World, conversations about the topic of porn open up. I believe one of the biggest problems surrounding the issue of porn is that no one talks about it. I’m so grateful that more people are opening up about this topic and bringing it out of the shadows! Thanks for everything you do.

We love your organization and the content you put out! Thank you! We did a private movie screening at a theater of Brain, Heart, World about 2 years ago, and it was so impactful!!!

Just wanted to share something with y’all. I’m an accountability partner for my best friend, and y’all’s content really helps because I’m able to let him know about the horrors of porn for both the viewers AND the performers. I shared this with him because it helped me in my fight. After getting that insight into pornography, it was easier to fight that temptation because I didn’t want to contribute to hurting others. Because of that, I’m able to help #StopTheDemand.
