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!
Over these last 12 months, I’ve been deeply impacted by your organization. I discovered Fight the New Drug during my research on the harms of porn and can’t begin to express the level of gratitude I have for those of you who created Brain, Heart, World. I know you don’t know me personally, but I want to simply thank you all for your dedication to this fight. Since discovering this film, I have hosted several viewings with friends, and with the men in my local community (about 100 men, ages 18-75). Each viewing is powerful and leaves every person deeply impacted. From my experience, after viewing Brain, Heart, World, conversations about the topic of porn open up. I believe one of the biggest problems surrounding the issue of porn is that no one talks about it. I’m so grateful that more people are opening up about this topic and bringing it out of the shadows! Thanks for everything you do.
I wish we had this knowledge 30 years ago. My instincts were spot on but I had no evidence to back me up. The evolution of global connectivity turned this industry into a virus. This three-part series is so well done. Kudos! It’s modern, relevant, vulnerable, silly, and lighthearted where appropriate. The last part made me cry. Your research and approach have made it non-threatening to all. I know the hard work put into this on the cinematography and filming alone. I am unraveling my world and healing as we speak. Your website is very profound. Thank you.
I finally told my parents about my porn addiction last night. It had made me depressed and antisocial because I felt like nobody could love me. I thought my parents were going to be disappointed or angry with me, but they were actually really proud of me for coming to them. They didn’t make me feel bad about myself, and were completely loving and understanding. Now we do a weekly phone audit, so they look through my phone and I look through their phones with complete trust. I’m so happy now that I’ve told someone. It was completely consuming me, but it was like a virus that wouldn’t stop. In the end, I couldn’t forgive myself until I told someone and accepted that I had a problem. Thank you for being a source that people like me can come to and feel loved.
I’m a senior in high school and I wrote about the harmful effects of pornography on women, and I just wanted to let you know that your TikTok account gave me the inspiration to do so. I had the clip of your interview with Dr. John Foubert in my favorites since 2021, and it always stayed in the back of my mind. So when I was assigned a research essay on a topic of my choosing, I thought of you guys. Thank you for fighting the good fight, and thank you for motivating me to write about it!
I would just like to thank you for your content and care for the cause. I’ve been struggling with porn addiction myself, too ashamed to tell anyone about it. But it has certainly taken a toll on multiple areas of my life. Every time I feel the urge, I read another paragraph in your "50 Reasons Why You Should Quit Porn" post. It really helps. The struggle is real, but I just want to say thank you.
