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!
Thanks for your work, guys. The beginning of the pandemic was rough for me—I really struggled with pornography. I was doing research about it and came to your Instagram page, which led me to the podcast. I listened to like two episodes and, no word of a lie, I haven’t watched porn in at least eight months now. I can’t do it on my own, so finding your podcast was amazing. Thanks, guys.
Hey FTND team, thank you for providing so much information and encouraging people to speak up about the harmful effects of pornography no matter who they are. Thanks to you, I gave a speech about just that topic in front of my English class on Tuesday and sparked up a great conversation with a classmate. I also was graded the highest mark we could get. Thank you so much for all the things you do.
FTND has provided me with lots of information regarding the negative reality of the porn industry and the effects viewing pornography has on the consumer. Your website features really informative articles packed with science and facts on the truth about porn and how it affects things like the brain of the consumer, relationships, intimacy, and even society at large. I will support this cause for as long as I live and breathe on this planet. The fact that you aim to impact the most vulnerable of the population, youth, makes me feel like this work needs to continue so long as pornography remains a public health crisis.
Excellent! It makes me understand pornography more deeply and more seriously. I remember when I first watched pornography, I always thought that porn stars were enjoying themselves in the scenes and they were just unbelievably good at sex. But all these things are not realistic in a real relationship. Viewing porn may be a pleasure for some people, but for the performers, it’s often humiliating and nightmarish. This changed my opinion about pornography.
“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 have felt like I am worth the time I put into my self. I let go of the shame I carried as being a viewer, a secret life that no one knew about. I am who I authentically want to be. People see this person and know this person. I’m doing a 5K run in a couple weeks that I’ve been training for.
I’m glad to find this platform. I have tried to quit before, and when looking for resources, I could only find some that had religious reasonings and it was hard to find something that was science and fact-based
I saw your “Tips to Quit” article! I told my boyfriend about my struggle and had him put a password in on my phone that only he knows, and then one on my computer. It has, hands down, been the thing that has worked for me. Even if I want access, I can’t have it. The day he did that was the biggest weight off my shoulders. No more worrying about giving in to my addiction. I am very lucky to have a partner who supports me, no questions asked.
