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 have been working toward letting go of porn this year, and the last few days have been rough. Today I was on the verge of buying porn and instead, I donated to y’all’s “Give for Love” fundraiser on Facebook! This is a huge step in the right direction, and I know I won’t regret donating that money later!
I want to share my freedom journey and thank this organization for bringing awareness to something that’s so damaging. Over the past decade, I’ve been in a tormenting relationship with pornography, damaging me from the inside out. I was exposed as a young kid, by a cousin. Curiosity sank in and I started acting out things I saw. I worked and lived among great people, yet I had a secret addiction. Once I finally broke the silence, healing began. I have been porn-free for a few months now and not having the weight of porn on me has been incredible. Thank you for what you are doing.
My experience stirred a passion to get my Ph.D. in Developmental Psychology to become better equipped to confront the porn industry. My heart is for women to find freedom from porn. I have been trying to network and connect with other ladies who have a similar journey. We’re all in this together. The more women break the silence, the less of a stronghold porn has.
I wanted to take this time to say thank you. Thanks for all that y’all do to shine a light on pornography and sexual exploitation. When I was a kid, my dad did things to my sister that I won’t mention. His pornography addiction cost him his two precious children. There were many years I was hurt by those circumstances and held onto my anger. Since then, I’ve been able to attend a recovery program and use Fortify. I’m now starting my own organization with a friend that centers around child abduction prevention. I am grateful for all that y’all do. Fight on!
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.
