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 just wanted to show my gratitude for this page. I have struggled for many years. I am on my first week of no porn for the first time in 7-8 years. I am in awe of the difference it is making in my life. The heaviness and shame are gone and I am so much happier. Keep exposing the fallacies that are surrounded by porn and do not quit telling the truth!
“Fight for love.” You have no idea how this phrase is motivating me today. I’ve been struggling for more than 10 years with this addiction and it has been hard, falling again and again and again. But this movement came in a moment of darkness in my life when I thought there was no way out. My relationships were broken: girlfriend, family, and friends—all of them getting away because of my dark secret, and I couldn’t understand exactly why until I found FTND. Then it all made sense and put in me hope. I’m still struggling, but the frequency is less than the past years. I have some dark days, but phrases like “fight for love” give me a goal and remind me how important and special I am. Thanks, FTND!
I just wanted to tell you that your posts are so motivating. I can’t thank you enough–you people are doing a tremendous job. I think the most dangerous thing about porn is that it is accessible. Please continue the work that you’re doing and keep helping millions of people from all over the world get rid of this drug. Thank you once again. Peace!
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!
I came across one of your articles shortly after watching pornography 16 days ago. Since reading how porn is fake and ignores consent, and isn’t a real representation of what sex should be between two consenting adults, I realised the porn I was watching was creating a negative impact on my life. Not only that, I was using it to fulfill my emotional needs instead of seeking a real relationship. Since quitting porn after seeing your article, I changed the way I will go about having sex in the future. I’ll always be respectful and comfortably open to communicate with my romantic partner about sex. I’ll focus on what she prefers and is comfortable with doing rather than ignoring that and using her for sex. Since finding your site, I am very appreciative and I have made some amazing changes in my life for good.
I’ve been addicted to porn for years now. Always wanted to find a reason to quit but could never find one until now. I regret not having been exposed to these kinds of stories from the Consider Before Consuming podcast sooner. I hope you continue to heal, Jane Doe, and thank you for ruining porn for me.
I just want to thank you for continuing to educate and bring awareness to the effects of pornography. In a message I sent you several years ago, I thought my husband had been without porn for many years only to find out later that he had not stopped his porn use, just kept it quiet. I feel that I would have left this marriage or be in the process had it not been for the amazing articles you continue to post about how porn affects the mind, etc. Your efforts to fight this drug are paying off and you have saved my marriage and I’m sure many others because of it. My husband may still be in the throes of his addiction but he is fighting. I will be here by his side as he fights, wielding my own sword. True love is worth fighting for. Thanks again.
