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!
Hi. I just wanted to say thank you for all you’re doing to shed light on this awful, addictive drug. Personally, I have suffered with porn addiction since I was 7. I caught my brother watching an inappropriate movie and it sparked my innocent curiosity. It has gotten worse since then, but I’ve had the courage to talk to my husband about it and it feels good to know that he loves me and wants to help me overcome this addiction. It has affected my life for way too many years, and I’m sick of it! I’m taking a stand to stop and get in control of my life. I’ve been trying so hard to resist. The last time I slipped up, it made my anxiety so bad. I’ve noticed when I have watched porn, my anxiety is out of control. And when I don’t watch porn, I start feeling like myself, and my anxiety isn’t nearly as bad or frequent. Thank you again for all you’re doing!
Hey y’all, I watched your three-part documentary series, Brain, Heart, World. It was absolutely amazing. Thank you for putting together this project and drawing awareness to not only the harms of pornography, but how a good life full of real and true love without porn truly changes the world! You have started a fire that will burn bright in the hearts of people, giving them the confidence and hope that a life without porn is not only possible, but so much better! Keep it up!
I’m just here to say thank you for educating people on what they’re consuming. If I hadn’t known about what really goes on in the pornography industry, I wouldn’t be free from it today. We always think it only has an affect on us, but watching porn sets off a whole chain reaction. I’ve been free for probably almost a year—I actually forgot when last I’ve consumed pornography! The. Best. Thing. I. Did. For. Myself. And. The. Whole. World!
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.
Thankful someone is putting this information out there in video form so that more people will see. I’ve read books on porn addiction, but most people will never pick up one book let alone read it in their lifetime about this issue. These videos will reach so many more people! Thank you for caring to educate the masses.
I just wanted to say thank you guys so much for sharing supportive resources. When my boyfriend (now husband) first shared with me about his struggles & setbacks, I felt completely alone. I found ZERO articles or resources for people who felt hurt or betrayed. That search was actually how I discovered your organization. I felt validated in my opposition to porn in a culture that is immersed in it. My husband has not had a setback in 2 years! Thank you so much for providing great resources for not only those who struggle but also for those of us who want to learn to be supportive partners but need time to heal.
Thank you for showing the humanity in people in the porn industry. When I was a teen, I was caught up in the industry by an older man I thought I could trust. I wish more people knew that for so many girls they see online, consent isn’t an option. I was told if I didn’t do something, or revoked my consent, I’d owe THEM money or they’d do something to hurt me. Imagine if a date told you that you’d owe them money if you didn’t sleep with them. But the industry got a free pass for that. That’s the tip of the iceberg, but the fear and myriad of coercion tactics they use are real… while so many young girls/boys are being exploited.
I’m thankful that there are people speaking up about the porn industry. It’s not regulated or supervised, so I’m hesitant to even call it an industry. I fight every day to move on, so when I see people also fighting against this, it really warms my heart.
