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 want to say thank you to the people at FTND. I started watching porn at a young age and even got caught multiple times, but couldn’t stop watching it. I realized I was addicted when I was 14, but was never motivated enough to do something about it. Watching your videos on IGTV really helped me find motivation to give up porn. From sex trafficking to how it affects relationships, I realized how much damage I was doing to myself. But after knowing that, I just started feeling bad about myself. That’s when your Brain, Heart, World series came in handy. I was able to see all the people who had struggled with porn and could relate to their stories. I didn’t feel alone anymore. I’m truly inspired by FTND. Thank you so much for taking a stand on this platform. Groups like this are going to change the world.
I was first introduced to porn at 14. I’m now 19. I’ve been addicted for five years. It’s been an absolute net negative on my life, and I think it’s contributed to some of my anxiety, self-deprecating thoughts, and brash behavior. I’ve wanted to quit for what feels like forever now, but I keep relapsing. It all came to a head today when I couldn’t take it anymore and found your website. I haven’t even finished looking through all the resources yet, but I’m eager to do so, because after watching Jane Doe’s video interview about how she was sex trafficked, I want nothing to do with porn ever again. In fact, I want it as far away from me as possible. I can’t even begin to imagine how awful that poor woman felt. If I had the opportunity to say something to her, I would likely just say how sorry I am. Whoever is reading this, thank you.
Thanks for making this movie. I am 37 and I was in my bubble during these years, suffering the cause and effects of porn. I wanted to talk about this, but I felt ashamed to talk publicly. Porn stole my childhood and my passion for this world. Everything was clouded by porn thoughts, irrespective of relationships. I am a meditation practitioner now and it helps a lot with making me more productive in many areas of my life. But the intensity of porn wiring my brain was huge and I still struggle a lot. I was looking for methods, motivation, and especially information to be helpful for me and finally, I found this documentary series. It’s so enlightening and also makes me feel happy to see the laughing faces at the end of each episode. Thanks again for being such wonderful human beings. Please spread the truth as much as you can, and I will do my part.
I just want to thank you for continuing to educate and bring awareness to the effects of pornography. In a message I sent you several years ago, I thought my husband had been without porn for many years only to find out later that he had not stopped his porn use, just kept it quiet. I feel that I would have left this marriage or be in the process had it not been for the amazing articles you continue to post about how porn affects the mind, etc. Your efforts to fight this drug are paying off and you have saved my marriage and I’m sure many others because of it. My husband may still be in the throes of his addiction but he is fighting. I will be here by his side as he fights, wielding my own sword. True love is worth fighting for. Thanks again.
I was going through a rough time after high school when I had friends who over-sexualized everything and it really hurt my self-esteem to the point I was so anxious that I could hardly eat anything. I had just ended that friendship and was trying to get on a healing path after graduation when I saw a post of yours on Facebook. This page is so inspiring and really puts light on how harmful and objectifying porn is! It gives scientific facts and concrete evidence that proves how destructive our culture is becoming toward young people by sexualizing them before they have a chance to figure out who they are for themselves. I love this page and thank you for all you do!
The other day I saw the video with Terry Crews and his “Porn Kills Love” shirt. It has really inspired me. I found you guys and have read your tips on how to keep myself occupied. I’ve had issues with porn since I was 11, and for the past few days, I’ve stayed away from it. And I’ve never felt better in my life. I’ve only been off for 4 days but I’m proud of myself for fighting the urge.
I just wanted to say, please keep doing what you are doing. Your organization seems to stand alone in its mission and quality of work, and it is powerful on so many levels. I’m encouraged every time I see one of your posts. Thank you!!! So much.
