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!
At one point I was struggling with porn and it really was messing up my life. Until I saw one of your videos, it gave me an idea of how bad porn is, and I just want to say that you are helping a lot of people out there like me who have been fighting this for a long time. I would like to thank you for helping me realize that porn is bad for me and that I can reach true happiness without porn. Love you guys.
As a 36-year-old man, I have been habitually binging porn for most of my life. I can’t overturn the contribution I have made to its demand, but I’d like you to know that your message is true and needs to be so much louder. I’m trying to make this year about health, and I’m abstaining from pornography from now on with great incentive from the stories FTND has publicized. Porn is really the last unaddressed problem in my life, and it may have been standing between me and meaningful relationships this whole time.
No amount of money will balance the books of my consumption, but if it helps to amplify the signal for others and hopefully break the habit for others, then it’s well spent.
I am so grateful for your commitment to spreading love in this way and through this community. You are a force for good in a space that is so desperate for it. And I am so grateful to you for being an empowering group, sharing your values with the world in such an honest, loving, and beautiful way. You have empowered me and given me hope. I want to express just how special you are. To every person who reads this and has it in their heart to share this message: thank you. To everyone who took it upon themselves to build this platform and bring this message of love and freedom and truth into the world: thank you. You are truly a light and a force for good. Thank you for sharing what is in your heart.
I found this organization a few years ago, and I was absolutely awestruck. Because of your resources, I have been inspired to fight against sex trafficking and raise awareness on the slavery and abuse those human beings go through. Being factually educated by FTND on the detriments of porn has really enlightened a passion in me for standing up for respect for everyone. Thank you for all that you have done and continue to do on a day-to-day basis.
Just wanted to say I’ve been through a lot in my 24 years of life, but my porn/sex obsession has probably been one of the toughest to kick. Maybe it’s because it’s so easy to access, maybe because so many people think it’s okay . . . There are a lot of reasons, but seeing your posts and your stories do help me know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel and I’ll be okay. I’ll be better than okay, someday. And I’ll win this fight.
I always had the strong feeling that I was alone with this, especially because I’m a woman. But since I started this journey of recovery, I noticed that this is not exclusively a male problem. Girls struggle, too. With a huge amount of courage, I told my best friend about my struggle. She said: “You know what? I don’t care what you’re struggling with. You’re still the same, wonderful person I love so much.” This changed my life. I started to tell more people that I trusted and always got a similar response: we’re in this together.
So to all the Fighters out there, I want to encourage you! Tell someone you trust about your struggle. It will not get better by hiding and shaming yourself. You are powerful and worthy of love! I’m currently still recovering. My journey is not over yet. But I hang in there. I know one day I will be able to say that I beat this. And I can’t wait for this day!
