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!
My husband and I just wanted to contribute to your mission because we feel really strongly about educating people about the harmful effects of pornography. When we began dating, I had no idea that my then-boyfriend was struggling with a porn addiction that began in his early teens. A few months in, he was honest with me about it, and we began a journey of healing. I am happy to say that because of your resources, we were able to learn so much. It was a big push in the right direction for us to completely cut porn consumption out of our lives. Although it is a struggle some days, we are dedicated to REAL LOVE, and our marriage is better off for it. It has been nearly a year since my husband watched porn, which is the longest stretch so far, and I am so proud. Thank you for all you do.
Wow, FTND. Your email this morning, with the subject title “PSA: Porn Is Not Healthy” came at exactly the right time. I’ve been having an increasingly difficult time staying away from porn. I’ve been free of it for about 3 months, but, unfortunately, this morning I looked up a popular porn website. Just as I tapped on the first video, your email popped up at the top of my screen. I instantly knew what I was doing shouldn’t happen, and I exited the website. Thanks for the amazingly-timed email, and thanks for all you do to combat this pervasive issue.
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.
I want to tell you how much I absolutely LOVE FTND. I traveled the country with a team of twenty-somethings, talking to middle and high school students about porn, relationships, healthy choices, etc. While on tour, I learned about human trafficking and was devastated by it. I knew I had to do something about it. One of my teammates shared FTND with me as she told her personal story of now being free from her addiction to porn.
I now work for a nonprofit which combats human trafficking and child exploitation. I cannot tell you how appreciative I am (both personally and professionally) of FTND and all that you do. Giving others the opportunity to make informed decisions about porn and the inseparable link between it and sex trafficking is something I am deeply passionate about.
