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!

Fight the New Drug, I want to thank you for absolutely everything. You guys have helped me understand pornography in a new way that I have never seen before. I thought your information was so important that I did a presentation on it and showed my school how detrimental porn actually is to your brain and heart. The project went extremely well, and I was able to show the kids how harmful porn is and how it affects others around you.

Pornography is an epidemic! Thankfully, Fight the New Drug is using every platform available to help fight this disease that is spreading! This podcast is full of valuable information!

I think the documentary was honest and objective, and it gave a foundation upon which a person struggling with porn addiction can build. Thank you.

Thank you for all that you do. FTND never ceases to amaze me with the bold people who share their stories, informative fact-based articles, and forward movement toward a very important cause. Your article about Hollywood celebrities created a few heroes of mine. For big-name icons to be speaking out about this is bigger than just about anything I’ve ever seen. I genuinely appreciate all that FTND does.

I just wanted to tell you thanks! You guys were my inspiration for a speech I had to give in my public speaking class! I was super passionate about the harmful effects of porn, and it was cool to see the faces change from when I first introduced my topic to my very last sentence. Keep doing great work!

Thank you, FTND. Now I’m in this stage where even if I want to watch porn and am all alone, I still don’t watch it. I hate porn now. There are a lot of beautiful things in the world to enjoy besides porn. Now I have bigger goals in my life and I’m working hard to be whatever I always dreamed for myself. Thank you so much for your articles and tweets. Thank you and I love you. Cheers!

Your organization is doing so much good. You are giving people an outlet who want to get out of the pornography cycle, and educating people who don’t to possibly understand the potential effects that porn can have on the brain and relationships. Also, what I love is that you teach that hope is not lost. Change is always attainable. You can have relationships, you can help others. Thank you again for all the work you do. I remember 5 years ago when you came to my high school and spoke. It has been the only school assembly I remember today. I know that you must receive criticism and opposition to what you do but keep going. You are truly making a difference. Thank you again.

I just want to say that you are doing amazing work on this here site, and I am so happy and proud to be part of a community that shares my values. I first viewed porn when I was 11, and it has been a struggle ever since. Your site, along with a lotof other things, has been instrumental in helping me break my habitual use and have little to no porn use on a daily basis. Your approach of using science is so refreshing and appealing. I am super passionate about sex trafficking and sexual abuse awareness, and your campaigns have only fueled that in my life. So, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU. Your work has helped change my life for the better and get me free of my addictions.

You guys are really fighting the good fight, especially a fight that not many people want to talk about. I really appreciate what you guys do.

This morning, about 30 minutes ago, I called one of my community leaders and confessed to him my porn struggle, which helped me. I’ve never thought before about how watching porn does not make me a bad person. That really helped me to think about it, and it’s thanks to you guys. I’ve always thought that if I watch it, I am a bad person, but I realize that I am a good person but I’ve got a nagging, annoying struggle that’s always with me. There’s a difference.

Thank you so much for what you do. You guys really are pros. I wish I had known that before all of this, but thank you so much.

I’m a high school counselor, and I see how, in teen culture, sending and receiving nudes has become “normal.” I see the firsthand effects this has on both boys and girls: depression, anxiety, shame, guilt, suicidal ideation, self-harm, and in some cases, death by suicide. I always direct my clients to your work for help. Thank you for shedding light on this pivotal issue our teens and children are facing.

Hi! I love your organization and the research it brings to light. I wanted to say thank you and keep up the good work!
