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’ve always appreciated what you at FTND do with promoting awareness of the dangers of pornography. Since experiencing firsthand the pain that comes from being in a toxic, porn-damaged relationship, I’ve become more involved with the movement. Thank you for what you do!

Thanks for helping people make the decision about what to consume based on the facts and not just opinions!

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.

Hey! Thank you very much for the work you do. The resources you make available have helped me a lot.

Today marks 6 months of freedom from an addiction I had for about 9 years . . . 6 whole months. I didn’t think that would be possible! But I chose to fight, to keep fighting, and still choose to fight (even though it’s tough), and I’ve almost felt the rewiring in my brain!

This freedom has allowed me to love my friends so much more than I ever could before because my heart hasn’t been split between a screen and my friends. I think I’m happier, more content, and better at loving than I was in my early 20’s! Happy happy days.

Thank you for bringing awareness to what has become a massive issue in our community and relationships! Keep up the good fight!

Thank you for doing this series. I watched it with my 13-year-old son to try and help him understand the long-term effects of porn. Every parent needs to watch this video with their kids.

Thank you so much for the work you do! You were the first secular resource I found and you have helped me tremendously to understand the psychological aspect behind my husbands addiction. Disclosure was about 4 months ago, and I have him listening to your podcast now which is helping him better understand himself and where I’m at. Seriously, I’m so appreciative for the resources you provide.

I honestly can’t thank you enough for taking the time to send me a personal message with so much guidance and encouragement. I feel better about moving forward knowing I’m not alone and I have these resources. I’m glad you mention shame so many times. Even when you love someone, it’s honestly really hard to accidentally bring shame into the conversation because you feel so hurt. Thank you for reminding me it’s not personal because it truly feels like you’ve been cheated on and it’s really tough to separate yourself from the situation. I’m going to look into these resources and try to make progress. You are making a big difference in our world, thank you.

This is information that the world needs to hear! Love how packed yet simple each episode is! They are encouraging me to start conversations and raise awareness. There’s so much great info on FTND’s site, but sometimes it’s nice to listen. Looking forward to learning more and being a part of the movement in creating new social norms around healthy sexuality!

I was exposed to pornography at age 13 and am 18 now. It’s been an on-and-off battle. When the chemicals are flowing, it’s easy to just give in to the momentary desires. A couple weeks ago, I had the urge to watch porn after resisting for a couple weeks. I struck a deal with myself: visit fightthenewdrug.org first and then see how I feel. I did so and ended up spending about 2 hours on your website. IT IS AMAZING. Since then, I‘ve felt stronger and better than ever. Now I have the brain, heart, and societal reasons to fight back. This movement is such a blessing. I love how it is not religiously rooted; it’s for everyone. It’s a message that I hope continues to spread. You guys are amazing and have made me a better person. Thank you so much! You have helped me to remember to consider before consuming!
