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 can honestly say that discovering FTND was a massive breath of fresh air! My relationship got off to a rocky start due to discovering that my boyfriend watched porn. It made me feel extremely negative in so many ways, and yet I was made to feel that it was my issue because, “Porn is not a big deal! It’s not cheating!” Thankfully, four years on, we are more on the same page with the subject of porn. I fully support FTND and will be spreading the word!
Well done. Recently, I’ve learned that someone close to me has been watching porn, and this helped just ease the pain with humor and the comfort of knowing we are not alone in the struggle. There is comfort in the science—it is validating. There is hope in knowing change is possible and can be pretty radical if we are open to the journey. Thank you, all!
I quit porn 5 years ago. It’s been a struggle and I’ve had a few relapses, but it was the hardest and best decision I’ve made. Your posts have been a huge inspiration to me, so thank you so much! I’m a huge fan of the interviews you do with people. Thank you, and have an awesome day!
I just want to thank you for the dedicated work you are putting in daily. My exposure to porn started before I was a teenager and while I spent much of my high school and college years being open about the struggle and “wanting” to quit, my addiction to it grew inside of my marriage. Instead of dealing with feelings of resentment with my wife, I fled to fantasy in porn and eventually adultery. While I willingly accept total responsibility for my sexual brokenness and all its consequences, it took getting caught five years ago to bring about the seeds of recovery that have really taken deep root. I discovered you on Instagram less than a year ago and have told my recovery group, my new wife, my friends, and anyone who will listen about the quality work you are doing. If only I had known about you eight years ago, even though I was not willing to give up my behavior. Now, more than ever, your facts, research, and movement have done nothing but fill me with hope and gratitude.
As a 36-year-old man, I have been habitually binging porn for most of my life. I can’t overturn the contribution I have made to its demand, but I’d like you to know that your message is true and needs to be so much louder. I’m trying to make this year about health, and I’m abstaining from pornography from now on with great incentive from the stories FTND has publicized. Porn is really the last unaddressed problem in my life, and it may have been standing between me and meaningful relationships this whole time.
No amount of money will balance the books of my consumption, but if it helps to amplify the signal for others and hopefully break the habit for others, then it’s well spent.
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
