Impact

I work at a huge tech company, and we usually deal with websites that can host pornography. People made jokes about it at first, including my coworkers. I introduced them to FTND and its informational side regarding what porn does to the brain. Anyways, a few days ago, my buddy at work let me know it’s made an impact on him and that he’s going to stop consuming porn. I feel really good about it. It’s hard being a woman in technology (especially because we are outnumbered 4:1) but it’s even harder when objectification of women is something that’s just happening in front of our faces without even knowing the true effects of it on our brain long term. I feel like I bring important things to the table being a lady in tech, and FTND has been a significant thing in my life. I’m spreading it like wildfire. I’m tired of it being the norm.

The other day, I brought up porn at my work with several coworkers who I’m pretty close to. I was nervous that they’d fight with me about it or I’d get very negative responses for saying how much I hated porn and everything it does/stands for/etc., but to my surprise and delight (and relief), every single one of my co-workers agreed with me and we were all able to have a great conversation about the dangers and harmfulness of porn. I’m so encouraged to see other people my age who are aware of how toxic it is and willing to fight against it. I’m so thankful for this page and all you guys do, and especially all the information you provided. Thank you so much!
