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!
I just wanted to say thank you for all the information that this organization is doing against the fight against pornography. I’ve been a porn addict since the age of 9, and am now truly fighting against my addiction 20 years later, through therapy and coaching. Thank you for bringing the awareness of how harmful pornography can be and the dangers of it all. I wish I had this when I was younger before I got engulfed through my addiction.
I’ve struggled with porn addiction since age 12. I’m finally choosing to let my shame go. Porn is very prevalent in Icelandic society, but its negative effects are rarely, if ever, discussed. People view it as perfectly normal. Therapists never mention it as an issue, and I’ve never heard an Icelandic person admit they have a problem with porn, so I felt like I was the only one. Hearing personal accounts from FTND and studying the research has been so refreshing, knowing that I am not alone.
In high school, I gave a speech explaining porn stats I got from your website. The teacher told me afterwards she’d learned a lot and wished everyone in school could hear that message. I think people here would agree, but they just don’t know. So I wanted to thank you, especially for your podcast which has been a way for me to be surrounded by light and strength. You reach far outside the US, and have at least one supporter in Iceland. Much love.
I most enjoyed the hope this documentary gave that my brain can recover from my porn addiction. I’ve read that repeated engagement with porn is like blazing a well-worn path in the brain–a path I wasn’t sure could ever not be frequently walked. But this gave me so much hope. That well-worn path in my brain that’s been blazed by viewing porn can regrow into a field of flowers again, free from the familiarity and grasp of porn. Thank you for this beautiful resource.
Thank you for all you’re doing. You are helping a lot of people expand their minds and hearts and see the truth about something we used to think, in a superficial way, was just harmless entertainment. I’m in the process of recovering and healing from an addiction that has been taking over my life since I was young. I think that by being involved in this movement, I get the chance to fall in love with myself again and realize I’m not a horrible person.
Thank you so much for everything that you do. Four months ago, my husband confessed to a pornography addiction after I caught him secretly watching porn. I’ve used so many of your resources to educate both of us (especially myself) to help us navigate this very difficult situation. It’s definitely not easy, but this community & others sharing their stories have helped me more than I can put into words.
Long story short, when my best friend told me that he’s been struggling to stay away from watching porn, I sent him the FTND documentary, Brain, Heart, World. Because he is a political adviser, educator, and lawyer, he felt disgusted and devastated to learn that porn fuels the demand for human sex trafficking. This was one big reason that made him stop watching porn.
