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!
Well done. Recently, I’ve learned that someone close to me has been watching porn, and this helped just ease the pain with humor and the comfort of knowing we are not alone in the struggle. There is comfort in the science—it is validating. There is hope in knowing change is possible and can be pretty radical if we are open to the journey. Thank you, all!
Y’all do such great work which has allowed me to see porn and those who use it in a healthier way. I used to be so judgemental against those who use it; now I have empathy for them and understand there is so much more to it, addictions, etc. Your site has aided me in staying in a marriage of 30 years where I recently discovered secret porn use that my spouse was engaged in for years. Without your expert articles and deep understanding on both sides of porn, I’m not sure if I would have made it through this sad discovery and stayed in the marriage. Thanks for causing a good ripple in the world! Keep it going!
I’m thankful for organizations like FTND! Because of you talking about the harmful effects of porn, I’m now attending college in the fall and getting a degree in psychology to help trafficked women recover. I never knew that trafficking and porn went hand-in-hand. Thank you for showing that to me and thank you for repping a good cause!
What you’re doing is so essential to help people engage in healthy, lasting relationships. My marriage was deeply affected by porn. Everything you say is true, I witnessed it firsthand. Once the ‘secret’ was out we were finally able to address all the problems porn caused and it has been a years-long process. As a wife, it’s utterly gut-wrenching to find out your partner was betraying your trust and destroying intimacy in your marriage by using porn. My husband became withdrawn, uninterested in me, irritable, and his behavior completely changed. He was doing a multitude of other things that were destructive to himself and our relationship. Deception became normal, and more extreme behaviors became OK. Our marriage was robbed of true love and intimacy by porn. My husband has so much more awareness now. He’s at a local Fight the New Drug presentation with our sons right now! Thanks for everything you’re doing!
Hey y’all, I watched your three-part documentary series, Brain, Heart, World. It was absolutely amazing. Thank you for putting together this project and drawing awareness to not only the harms of pornography, but how a good life full of real and true love without porn truly changes the world! You have started a fire that will burn bright in the hearts of people, giving them the confidence and hope that a life without porn is not only possible, but so much better! Keep it up!
