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!
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.
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!
I’m currently 17 and I am still battling against porn. Once in a while, I still get the urge to watch it. Watching your YouTube channel, and with the help of my girlfriend, I’ve been keeping away from it for a long time now. I’m really glad for all of the information your channel gave me. Thank you for helping me.
I know you guys probably get hundreds of DMs, but I just wanted to thank the people who run this account. I have struggled with porn since I accidentally came across it on Pinterest (of all the places) when I was 10 years old. My entire childhood/young adulthood has been plagued by the horrible cycle of guilt, shame, resistance, redemption, and inevitable pain again that comes from a life of porn addiction. And it hurts so badly to know that my feelings are nothing compared to those of the people I helped exploit. It’s haunting. On nights that I’m struggling, getting on Instagram and reading your stories gives me the strength to say no. Thank you for helping me in the fight for real love. I fight for the dignity of every person.
It’s information that I’ve seen many times before, but the way it is presented here is much more human. I like the hopeful message of Brain, Heart World, and I am extremely glad that you are helping propagate this information. People really need to hear it. I need to hear it. I am trying to free myself, and it is so easy to lie to myself to justify it. Knowledge is the power people need to overcome this. Thank you for providing that knowledge.
For a year or so, I got sucked into the world of porn. But after I discovered FTND, I learned how much I was hurting myself and how much pain my habit caused the other people involved. I quit cold turkey right then, and as difficult as it was, I was able to move on from it and learn from my mistakes. I’ve now been completely clean for 6 months, and I was able to wholeheartedly experience true love. With what I had discovered, I was able to reach out to my best friend and help them quit their addiction as well. They’ve now been 2 months clean. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for everything. I will be forever grateful and a proud Fighter.
I found this organization a few years ago, and I was absolutely awestruck. Because of your resources, I have been inspired to fight against sex trafficking and raise awareness on the slavery and abuse those human beings go through. Being factually educated by FTND on the detriments of porn has really enlightened a passion in me for standing up for respect for everyone. Thank you for all that you have done and continue to do on a day-to-day basis.
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.
I am constantly impressed with your articles. The research is great and they are balanced well with their choice of words. I feel people who need to hear this would more likely listen because of the way they are written. They do not attack the consumer so much as they point out how the industry is using them.
