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!
Your cause is working! I’ve been following FTND since 2018 when my then-boyfriend, now husband, broke my heart for the second time with his addiction. I didn’t know until the second time that it was an addiction, and I encouraged him to get therapy. But I was just scrolling today and I saw this one post, and I read some comments, and people are actually aware of porn’s harms! I’m just so happy that awareness is spreading.
I watched Brain, Heart, World, this weekend and it’s a must-see. The explanation of porn’s effects on your brain, relationships, and the world caught my eye because the message never centered on whether porn is “good” or “bad,” but rather was based on scientific evidence. It was approachable for young minds. I was quickly hooked, playing one episode after another. Mixing personal stories with professional perspectives was an effective way to show how a consumer’s brain changes when exposed to porn, and the ways can alter our personality, preferences, and approach to life.
What I liked the most was the hopeful tone of the documentary. Despite showing terrible effects and heartbreaking stories, it sends an optimistic message, addressing directly people who may be trapped in porn consumption and giving them information as to where to turn for help.
FTND has opened our eyes to a problem that is only getting worse! Pornography is no laughing matter. It is breaking up families, shaming men and women across the board. FTND has opened a topic that NEEDS to be discussed with the youth of today. We have been able to have open, healthy talks with our own kids about pornography. Thanks to FTND we can talk to our daughters, their husbands, and our son openly about how destructive pornography is. Thanks, FTND! You have opened our eyes, and strengthened our relationship with our kids!
Hi! After coming across your page and my boyfriend having erectile dysfunction (at 23!), we had a talk last summer about porn! He’s said he can see sexual dysfunction being a side effect and didn’t know porn could cause these things. He’s been laying off and things have improved so so much. The discussion guide really helped! So, thank you!
My boyfriend eventually broke up with me because after a year of me trying to fight with him, he “just didn’t see my problem with him watching porn.” I’d like to thank your organization, not only for making these articles and trying to educate people on porn’s harms, but also for responding to my personal story when I needed it the most. I’ll keep fighting for love—thank you.
Wow. WOW! I just watched Brain, Heart, World, and I am blown away with gratitude for what you guys are doing. I talk about this organization often and raise awareness as well as I can about you guys and your resources because I am PUMPED about how you are fighting this tragedy that is overtaking the world. I truly think that because of what you beautiful humans are doing, I might get to have a conversation with another person one day who won’t even know what porn is; that is my dream. Thank you for going hard for a good, good thing. Incredible job!
Hearing how it’s an everyday battle when you’re on the road to recovery and freedom from porn is scary, but knowing that you’re not in this alone is helpful. And really just the dreams and aspirations mentioned in the documentary put it all into perspective, that you don’t want this addiction to flood into those areas in your life. Let the battle begin.
