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’m a month clean from porn today! I wanted to celebrate that, so I’m letting you know!

I left porn in 2020 and I’m using this year to focus on fighting this addiction. Thank you for spreading the knowledge of the effect porn has on us! I share the mission and information from FTND with a lot of people. Thank you for making me, a woman who struggles with porn, feel normal and not judged. Women struggle, too! That needs to be a continual message out there.

The weight of not hiding things from my wife has been lifted! I don’t worry about her catching me because I’m not hiding anything!

Thank you for this docuseries! It opened my eyes to the natural effects of this habit and not that I am some rotten person who can’t escape porn. I feel free to dream again, lift up my head, and find/do things that pique my interest, and let my brain heal.

Thank you! At the beginning of this year, I caught my husband looking at porn. He was exposed to it at a young age and addicted the majority of his life. It was probably one of the most painful experiences I’ve gone through. Now he’s been openly sharing with others his story, has been free of porn, has an accountability group, and he is just is able to enjoy a life without porn’s hold on him. It’s been so difficult to go through this, but we’re fighting! Thank you for your encouragement in a world that normalizes porn.

I’ve been struggling for a long time now and it’s time for me to stop. I watched the documentary last night and it really helped to see the other side of the issue. I’m very addicted to it and I stayed strong yesterday and I’m planning to keep it like that! Thank you for all you do, and I’m probably going to order a shirt today.

Since quitting porn, I’ve felt better about myself and my body and have been less judgmental of other people and their bodies. I still have a long way to go and a lot of damage to my self-image to undo, but I’ve made leaps and bounds of progress. I also have a loving boyfriend who has seen the harms of this stuff and quit, too. Since doing so, we have both made incredible improvements in our sex life; we feel more passion, more love, more intimacy, more everything. My sex life has never been more satisfying and comfortable. I cannot begin to explain the vast improvements in our relationship, our intimacy, and our overall lives.

So to anyone who is in the process of quitting, or thinking about quitting, don’t give up! It is one of the most worthwhile things you’ll ever do for yourself, and the struggle is challenging but worth it. Keep going!

I just want to thank you for what you’re doing here. I need facts, and when the craving for porn is high, I go to this page and let it help reset my brain. I hate porn and its energy but the magnetism is real; it’s like a parasite to humanity. Please keep always doing what you’re doing because it makes a difference.

This is such an important topic. People are either ignorant of the problems or it’s the elephant in the room no one wants to talk about. But once we release the shame and start conversations, then we can win this war. Porn has already destroyed so many relationships, including two of my marriages. Since I’ve been listening to these podcasts and supporting Fight the New Drug, I have the confidence to speak out. Young men have confessed to me that they have issues with real women after growing up on internet porn. People don’t realize what they can be doing to themselves and others. It’s time we speak up like we do with other drugs. Thank you Fight the New Drug for all of this great information and your platform.

FTND has created a community where pornography consumption is no longer the norm. Their approach is to show love, report the facts and science along with personal experiences to show the harmful effects of porn. They helped my husband overcome porn. They helped me understand the addiction. They created a space where my questions could be answered. My husband and I are both so excited for this podcast and hope it reaches those who are still consumed with damaging behavior!

Awesome documentary! Thank you for shedding light on this issue. It affects so many people and like you said—most people think that it’s normal, or even healthy. So grateful for the work that FTND does every day to help individuals, families, and the world.

Thank you so much for all the work and resources you have! It helps me a lot. I’ve struggled with porn since I was 11, and now I’m four years completely sober. Your studies and all of the fresh information you share help me not feel so alone and put words to my feelings.

Nov 2022

I was impacted by this. I have been struggling with porn for almost 15 years. Watching this really gave me hope that I can and I will recover, so that I can live my life to fullest without negative feelings dragging me down.
