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!
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.
Hello, Fight the New Drug. I’ve been following your page and content for a while now. I think your content is really great and has helped me learn more about my habit of compulsive behavior toward porn. Shame was really taking a big toll on my mental health, but after I got to hear what others have gone through and hearing they gained confidence over time, I’ve been really inspired. Thank you, and continue the great work.
Many individuals sweep sexual struggles under the rug in modern culture. The general population either justifies or shames these twisted versions of natural desire. FTND has done a good job of finding the middle ground, which lies in informing an individual of the damaging effects of pornography. Cheers to FTND for spreading the facts about pornography, and sharing hope for healing.
Your cause is working! I’ve been following FTND since 2018 when my then-boyfriend, now husband, broke my heart for the second time with his addiction. I didn’t know until the second time that it was an addiction, and I encouraged him to get therapy. But I was just scrolling today and I saw this one post, and I read some comments, and people are actually aware of porn’s harms! I’m just so happy that awareness is spreading.
