Impact

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 love how simply the psychologists and neuroscientists explained the effects that porn has on the brain, it made it so easy to understand. I loved how the three people the first episode focused on were so blunt and open–that can be challenging to do sometimes.

Huge thanks for everything that you do. I personally have found my life (especially my personal sex life) better since I reduced my porn habit to the point that now I don’t need it all. And when I read more and more about the ethical side, it makes me not wanna watch it at all anymore.

Needed this so much. Thank you for the motivation to start with the fight.

This podcast does an incredible job of presenting facts with love, and sharing the evidence behind the harmful effects of pornography! I will always use this podcast as a template on how to discuss the harmful effects with friends and family!

Wow, FTND. Your email this morning, with the subject title “PSA: Porn Is Not Healthy” came at exactly the right time. I’ve been having an increasingly difficult time staying away from porn. I’ve been free of it for about 3 months, but, unfortunately, this morning I looked up a popular porn website. Just as I tapped on the first video, your email popped up at the top of my screen. I instantly knew what I was doing shouldn’t happen, and I exited the website. Thanks for the amazingly-timed email, and thanks for all you do to combat this pervasive issue.

I haven’t watched porn since I heard about your campaign 7 months ago.

I just wanted to tell you thanks! You guys were my inspiration for a speech I had to give in my public speaking class! I was super passionate about the harmful effects of porn, and it was cool to see the faces change from when I first introduced my topic to my very last sentence. Keep doing great work!

Thank you guys for all you do! I love the three documentary episodes–they’re so well done and personable. I find most people don’t know the harms of porn because they don’t talk about it. My boyfriend’s porn habit nearly ended our relationship, but we’ve decided to work it out, and he’s getting help with recovery. No one ever talked to him about porn, told him the harms of it, or asked him if he had a problem with it, and I was shocked. I feel like there are so many people who don’t even know what it’s doing to their brains or relationships— it’s heartbreaking! They don’t know all of that, let alone know about the world of sexual exploitation in the porn industry. People need and deserve real love! Thank you so so much for spreading awareness!

Four years ago, I messaged you asking for help with my addiction. I was a high school student, terrified by the horrible addiction that had begun to eat away at my life. I’m 3 months free from porn. It may not seem like much, but I feel like a new person. I’m so grateful to you and I’m so thankful that I’m finally free. Thank you for everything you guys do!

I have to admit, the urge to watch porn still comes to me sometimes. But I’m two years clean, and I could not be more content. Plus, the horror stories that I’ve read about the porn industry have made me realize just how horrible it all is. It is a disease that looks like a cure. I am a proud member of FTND!

Me and my fiance have benefited so much from FTND we’ve experienced the harms of porn and now we are beginning to experience the benefits of beginning to be free of porn!

You have truly opened my eyes to the harm pornography does not only to people like me but to everyone around me. The story from the victims really affected me.

Sep 2024

Thank you guys! It is an AMAZING movement that you promote and believe in. I was THRILLED when I found you guys because it’s easy to be bogged down by the heaviness in the world around us to the point that you forget the necessity of standing up and fighting against it. You fight the good fight every day and I am truly honored to be able to, even in a small way, bring attention to that with the shirt on my back.

I used the conversation blueprint with my 12-year-old son. So helpful for that first conversation. Can’t wait to show him the documentary.

Dec 2021

Thank you for building such an incredible platform for those of us who struggle with this issue. It’s incredibly validating, helpful, and priceless to be able to learn and understand my addiction without any shame or alienation that gets tied to it. Thank you!

Wow, this docuseries was truly awakening. I’ve tried and tried many times to quit porn, and after relapsing a couple of days ago, this was the motivation that I needed. I accept that what triggers me won’t go away, things won’t change straight away and there’s still the possibility of relapsing again; I have to be aware of that. But when one sees clearly that things do get better and the clouds do part eventually, it’s very motivating to know that there’s more to life than this. Beyond pornography is a better, more rewarding, and more fulfilling life. Thank you for making this documentary. I will work even harder to kick this out of my life!

We’re usually not ones to spend big amounts of money on clothes, but since my husband is an ex-porn addict, and we are incredibly passionate about this topic we had to make room in our small budget to take this opportunity. We will wear these shirts as often as we can to spark conversation. 100% worth it.

Thanks for the work you all do. Looks like humanity needs you.
