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!
Y’all do such great work which has allowed me to see porn and those who use it in a healthier way. I used to be so judgemental against those who use it; now I have empathy for them and understand there is so much more to it, addictions, etc. Your site has aided me in staying in a marriage of 30 years where I recently discovered secret porn use that my spouse was engaged in for years. Without your expert articles and deep understanding on both sides of porn, I’m not sure if I would have made it through this sad discovery and stayed in the marriage. Thanks for causing a good ripple in the world! Keep it going!
I am so grateful for your commitment to spreading love in this way and through this community. You are a force for good in a space that is so desperate for it. And I am so grateful to you for being an empowering group, sharing your values with the world in such an honest, loving, and beautiful way. You have empowered me and given me hope. I want to express just how special you are. To every person who reads this and has it in their heart to share this message: thank you. To everyone who took it upon themselves to build this platform and bring this message of love and freedom and truth into the world: thank you. You are truly a light and a force for good. Thank you for sharing what is in your heart.
I love it! I have a son who struggles with pornography. This movie brought to light clarity on the subject of pornography and that it is a lifelong battle that requires more than just a few therapy sessions. Maybe it was just hopeful thinking that he was probably ‘fine’ at this point. This docuseries made me realize that I need to get my head out of the sand and take a stand and do more than just hope my son is OK. Thank you for that.
As a young boy, I did not get any education on sex or have anywhere to turn to get my questions answered. The circles I was in presented sex as something that was gross, dirty, and wrong to want until marriage. Essentially, I feel like a lot of circles try to scare sexual desire out of people at a young age because, in their minds, it protects them. But when I got older and inevitably had these thoughts, questions, and desires, I felt like I had no person to go to in order to get answers and so because of my curiosity I stumbled upon porn but had nobody I could go to. My hope is to help change the stigma and the conversation around pornography and to help kids make an educated decision on it.
I just received my “People ≠ Products” shirt and I’m thrilled with it! Thank you also for sending stickers, I’m going to put them on my laptop and water bottle to further rep the movement! Thank you, thank you, thank you for everything you do. A lot of people close to me have been affected by porn, so it’s something I’m very passionate about. I appreciate that you’re a non-religious organization so I have a secular, scientific resource to share with people who are skeptical about objecting to porn on moral or religious grounds. I discovered you guys through one of my friends who constantly wears his PKL shirts. He’s had a lot of struggles with porn, but he’s so open about it and has helped so many people! You guys as a community encourage me so much.
Now at 23, I am thankful to say I have quit porn and have been clean for over 4 months. I have no desire to go back to where to the way I was, and I now have a radically different view of sex—a much more holistic and positive view of sex. FTND played a crucial role in getting to where I am today, and for that, I wanted to say thank you.
I watched Brain, Heart, World, this weekend and it’s a must-see. The explanation of porn’s effects on your brain, relationships, and the world caught my eye because the message never centered on whether porn is “good” or “bad,” but rather was based on scientific evidence. It was approachable for young minds. I was quickly hooked, playing one episode after another. Mixing personal stories with professional perspectives was an effective way to show how a consumer’s brain changes when exposed to porn, and the ways can alter our personality, preferences, and approach to life.
What I liked the most was the hopeful tone of the documentary. Despite showing terrible effects and heartbreaking stories, it sends an optimistic message, addressing directly people who may be trapped in porn consumption and giving them information as to where to turn for help.
