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 really and truly respect and admire your organization and it makes me so happy that there are people out there fighting and spreading awareness on such a global epidemic that has been so normalized over the years. I have always felt so strongly about being against porn and the negative effects it has on relationships, society, and even the viewers themselves. But I have always felt like an alien seeing it that way instead of being comfortable with it, like many other people out there. I was so thrilled to stumble upon your page.
I just received my “People ≠ Products” shirt and I’m thrilled with it! Thank you also for sending stickers, I’m going to put them on my laptop and water bottle to further rep the movement! Thank you, thank you, thank you for everything you do. A lot of people close to me have been affected by porn, so it’s something I’m very passionate about. I appreciate that you’re a non-religious organization so I have a secular, scientific resource to share with people who are skeptical about objecting to porn on moral or religious grounds. I discovered you guys through one of my friends who constantly wears his PKL shirts. He’s had a lot of struggles with porn, but he’s so open about it and has helped so many people! You guys as a community encourage me so much.
It is a breath of fresh air to be able to listen and learn about the harmful, toxic effects of pornography from a research and facts-based organization. We need more great people in this world like the folks at FTND. While porn does not always show physical damage on the outside, it produces emotional rifts on the inside.
It helps to see this whole topic broken down. I’m thankful someone is finally addressing this and not condoning it as “fun” or “normal,” because it’s honestly anything but that. Definitely worth a listen to the episodes to really get a clear description—I truly think you’ll be surprised to find out what you didn’t even know. The work that Fight the New Drug does is much needed in our world today. They pull back the deceptive facade of porn and break down the facts in easily accessible and engaging ways. Thanks for what you guys do!
WOW! That’s an incredibly powerful docuseries. I had a similar experience to one of the guys in the film as a kid, and messed up a lot of my life. It took years of hard work to stop watching porn, and I’m still tempted. This film was so motivational to stay free and focus on healthy relationships and experiencing life.
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.
