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!
Today’s Wall Street Journal article about TikTok and kids finally motivated me to donate to you, which I’ve been meaning to for a long time. I also joined the Fighter Club. I am making this donation to help support the movement because no woman should ever face the unimaginable pain and suffering that is caused by pornography. Every woman should be treated with care and respect.
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.
My husband has been on the road to recovery for 5 years. Watching him grow into the man he is without porn has been a beautiful transformation–not easy, but SO worth it. His addiction started when he was 5. With a rough childhood, porn made him feel safe and loved when he felt anxious or upset. Those were false perceptions, which he learned as he grew and saw porn’s damage.
He told me about his addiction in 2017. At first, I didn’t know how to support him and had to work through my own emotions. But the past year has been the best year of our relationship. Even though he is still recovering, I’m so proud of how far he’s come and his choice to be on this journey. No one truly understands the depths of the addiction and how it can ruin every aspect of your life. My husband has always been an amazing man. I am overjoyed to watch him live in freedom and confidence. He is an amazing husband, father, and friend.
Oh my goodness, thank you! I’m a recovering victim of sexual abuse by my ex-step father and by reading your posts, I finally realized why he used porn to groom me and how horrible porn is.
