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!
This was amazing. It definitely helps show that anyone struggling is not alone. I think it’s cool that it focused on real people’s stories, and it’s awesome that people are trying to spread the word that porn is a problem. It has been in my life, and I’m grateful for everyone who has helped me on the journey of stopping. Thank you for the great docuseries.
I just want to thank you for continuing to educate and bring awareness to the effects of pornography. In a message I sent you several years ago, I thought my husband had been without porn for many years only to find out later that he had not stopped his porn use, just kept it quiet. I feel that I would have left this marriage or be in the process had it not been for the amazing articles you continue to post about how porn affects the mind, etc. Your efforts to fight this drug are paying off and you have saved my marriage and I’m sure many others because of it. My husband may still be in the throes of his addiction but he is fighting. I will be here by his side as he fights, wielding my own sword. True love is worth fighting for. Thanks again.
Hi! I just want to say that I’m really glad to have bumped into this organization on Instagram. It has helped me understand so much about the negative effects of porn and the reality of the industry. Although I don’t have an addiction to porn, I used to watch it. I think educating myself on the topic made me so aware of the negative aspects of the industry. I think I feel shame from unknowingly giving support to something that has so much correlation to horrible situations people face, but I’m just glad that is something that I have pushed myself to combat. Thank you so much for your platform and for bringing awareness; it is very much needed! I appreciate it so much and keep doing what you are doing, FTND!
I am really happy that there is a podcast available on this topic! I myself am a struggling consumer but also an activist of fighting the new drug, and I’ve seen and felt the negative effects it has had on my life. Every day, it is becoming more normal for young adults, teens, and, in some cases, children to view pornography. Podcasts like this help educate myself and others about this new drug. Very grateful for this, and very excited for the knowledge and wisdom and journey of this podcast!
I was going through a rough time after high school when I had friends who over-sexualized everything and it really hurt my self-esteem to the point I was so anxious that I could hardly eat anything. I had just ended that friendship and was trying to get on a healing path after graduation when I saw a post of yours on Facebook. This page is so inspiring and really puts light on how harmful and objectifying porn is! It gives scientific facts and concrete evidence that proves how destructive our culture is becoming toward young people by sexualizing them before they have a chance to figure out who they are for themselves. I love this page and thank you for all you do!
I work at a huge tech company, and we usually deal with websites that can host pornography. People made jokes about it at first, including my coworkers. I introduced them to FTND and its informational side regarding what porn does to the brain. Anyways, a few days ago, my buddy at work let me know it’s made an impact on him and that he’s going to stop consuming porn. I feel really good about it. It’s hard being a woman in technology (especially because we are outnumbered 4:1) but it’s even harder when objectification of women is something that’s just happening in front of our faces without even knowing the true effects of it on our brain long term. I feel like I bring important things to the table being a lady in tech, and FTND has been a significant thing in my life. I’m spreading it like wildfire. I’m tired of it being the norm.
Oh my goodness, thank you! I’m a recovering victim of sexual abuse by my ex-step father and by reading your posts, I finally realized why he used porn to groom me and how horrible porn is.
I used to make adult content on Tumblr. I believed it was a good way to make money and grow an audience. When I realized that I would be contributing to the downfall of others, I immediately stopped. I then saw how engrossed Tumblr was in porn, even after their iconic porn ban. This organization gives me hope for a better society.
Thank you so much for everything that you do. Four months ago, my husband confessed to a pornography addiction after I caught him secretly watching porn. I’ve used so many of your resources to educate both of us (especially myself) to help us navigate this very difficult situation. It’s definitely not easy, but this community & others sharing their stories have helped me more than I can put into words.
