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!
Thank you so much, I can’t tell you what a relief it is to see people talking about and doing something about this issue. I used to think I’d live in a world where I was the crazy one for not being okay with porn, and past boyfriends always wanted me to believe that every single guy was that way and I’d just have to get used to it. I saw how much it damaged my relationships, my self-esteem, and the men themselves, and it’s just so great to find your page. Thank you.
My husband used to have a pretty hefty porn addiction. I’ve been a fan of the FTND movement since high school, so when he told me that was something he used to struggle with, I told him about this page. Since then, he said he will never go back. he loves learning more about the harmful effects of porn and he loves the FTND movement now, too! Thank you guys so much!
Hi there! I just sent you my story regarding porn addiction through your website this evening. I’m definitely becoming more bold with my story, and carrying less shame. Much of this is attributed to what I’ve seen on your Instagram page. You all do great work and I’m extremely appreciative. Ultimately, a story that was recently shared inspired me to reach out to you and share a bit more of my two-decade struggle, so thank you. Thank you for all you do in helping others like me and exposing the porn industry for what it is. The shame is no longer on me—it’s on them.
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.
My husband and I just wanted to contribute to your mission because we feel really strongly about educating people about the harmful effects of pornography. When we began dating, I had no idea that my then-boyfriend was struggling with a porn addiction that began in his early teens. A few months in, he was honest with me about it, and we began a journey of healing. I am happy to say that because of your resources, we were able to learn so much. It was a big push in the right direction for us to completely cut porn consumption out of our lives. Although it is a struggle some days, we are dedicated to REAL LOVE, and our marriage is better off for it. It has been nearly a year since my husband watched porn, which is the longest stretch so far, and I am so proud. Thank you for all you do.
FTND has provided me with lots of information regarding the negative reality of the porn industry and the effects viewing pornography has on the consumer. Your website features really informative articles packed with science and facts on the truth about porn and how it affects things like the brain of the consumer, relationships, intimacy, and even society at large. I will support this cause for as long as I live and breathe on this planet. The fact that you aim to impact the most vulnerable of the population, youth, makes me feel like this work needs to continue so long as pornography remains a public health crisis.
I am a recovering porn and sex addict and I just want you all to know that you are doing great work. My choices in looking at pornography have hurt the most important person in my life so much. I feel like a monster and now all I can do is to try to help contribute to fighting against this awful culture and industry. I have been listening to your podcasts and it truly disgusts me that I was contributing to so much exploitation and abuse in the industry. No one should ever have to go through those things and I truly will always consider before consuming now. Thank you.
I’ve been donating to this cause for a year and a half now. My boyfriend of only a month opened up to me and told me that he used to have a pornography addiction but has been clean for over a year. This cause means even more to me now, knowing that someone I love has been affected by it and has been overcoming it. Thank you for all that you do!
Hi. I think this movement is amazing. The amount of work that has been put into it shows— everything from the documentary to the interviews, the website, and the store. I was aware of the issues, like sex trafficking and relationship interference, but this really puts it all together and makes me want to change. Thanks for everything.
Hello FTND! I caught the last 10 minutes of your interview with Terry Crews on Instagram, and it was fire. It’s great to have a male celebrity speak against porn so passionately. Thanks for setting it up and for everything you’re doing to stop the porn pandemic.
As a young boy, I did not get any education on sex or have anywhere to turn to get my questions answered. The circles I was in presented sex as something that was gross, dirty, and wrong to want until marriage. Essentially, I feel like a lot of circles try to scare sexual desire out of people at a young age because, in their minds, it protects them. But when I got older and inevitably had these thoughts, questions, and desires, I felt like I had no person to go to in order to get answers and so because of my curiosity I stumbled upon porn but had nobody I could go to. My hope is to help change the stigma and the conversation around pornography and to help kids make an educated decision on it.
