Impact

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 love this page and the content that it shares. I was listening to the “Consider Before Consuming” podcast one day in my room, and it was the one with Terry Crews. Right then, something in my brain clicked, and from then on I’ve never watched porn or even had interest in being friends with people on social media who share graphic things. I was so enlightened. And it just CLICKED! My brain clicked! And from then on, I’ve never seen or watched any porn at all anymore. I really appreciate this page and you guys are so freaking awesome! I love you guys! Y’all are the best! You guys have changed my life and enlightened me, and educated me on how negatively porn affects me. I now don’t think there’s anything positive about porn, and I’ve never looked back. I was set free. I have so much respect and love for you guys. #PornKillsLove

I LOVE the Consider Before Consuming podcasts. I used to struggle with pornography, and it ruined my relationships and my life. Fight the New Drug and this podcast are awesome because they don’t shame BUT they’re informative about the harms of pornography and what it can do to you.

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.

Hello! I am a big supporter of FTND and just wanted to let you know that I have recovered from a porn addiction that lasted about 8 years. If you ever need someone to share their story, I would love to help. Your organization helped educate me and pushed me to find help and quit porn. Thank you!!

In the midst of all that’s happening in the world, I had forgotten that this year is a big milestone for me: I was addicted to porn for 13 years growing up, and I have been free from that addiction for 13 years in March. Big thanks to Fight the New Drug for not backing off from the fight!

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.

I am a recovering porn and sex addict and I just want you all to know that you are doing great work. My choices in looking at pornography have hurt the most important person in my life so much. I feel like a monster and now all I can do is to try to help contribute to fighting against this awful culture and industry. I have been listening to your podcasts and it truly disgusts me that I was contributing to so much exploitation and abuse in the industry. No one should ever have to go through those things and I truly will always consider before consuming now. Thank you.

I felt that I was very deeply connected to those people in the video because I noticed the shared hardship between them and me. I did reach a breaking point. I did relapse. I did feel ashamed. I have wished that I never discovered what I’ve discovered. Knowing that recovery is tangible inspires me on so many levels. Thanks to everyone who helped produce this episode. I truly mean that.

I wish we had this knowledge 30 years ago. My instincts were spot on but I had no evidence to back me up. The evolution of global connectivity turned this industry into a virus. This three-part series is so well done. Kudos! It’s modern, relevant, vulnerable, silly, and lighthearted where appropriate. The last part made me cry. Your research and approach have made it non-threatening to all. I know the hard work put into this on the cinematography and filming alone. I am unraveling my world and healing as we speak. Your website is very profound. Thank you.

I’m a school counselor and think this is the best presentation I have seen for teens.

Keep up the amazing work. I am on day 30 of no porn and your organization and posts have been really helpful. I am ever so grateful to be given another chance to redeem myself. I would really love to help this movement in any way because I am so done with this addiction. Your documentary opened my mind to the damage porn does to me, my relationships, and the victims of the industry. Thank you a billion times.

Thank you for making this documentary series. It’s echoed thoughts I’ve been having recently about how things have been developing in the world though I couldn’t entirely put it into words. I am grateful to learn more about the brain and how we are the results of the choices we make.
