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 finally told my parents about my porn addiction last night. It had made me depressed and antisocial because I felt like nobody could love me. I thought my parents were going to be disappointed or angry with me, but they were actually really proud of me for coming to them. They didn’t make me feel bad about myself, and were completely loving and understanding. Now we do a weekly phone audit, so they look through my phone and I look through their phones with complete trust. I’m so happy now that I’ve told someone. It was completely consuming me, but it was like a virus that wouldn’t stop. In the end, I couldn’t forgive myself until I told someone and accepted that I had a problem. Thank you for being a source that people like me can come to and feel loved.

Thank you so much for the resource of your documentary! I have been trying to learn about the effects of pornography but so much of the content out there is very scattered and not cited. I appreciate your work and want to support this movement!

Hey guys, I really love everything you do, and y’all are partly the reason I’ve quit porn entirely. Thanks, you’re doing great work!

I used the conversation blueprint with my 12-year-old son. So helpful for that first conversation. Can’t wait to show him the documentary.

One of the biggest reasons I support Fight the New Drug is because of your basis in science. Having a strong psychological and physiological foundation provides you with credibility. It also makes your message more accessible, no matter the worldview or background. I also appreciate your understanding and support of people suffering from an addiction to pornography. Shaming those struggling isn’t going to help them in their fight to do and be better. Thank you for all you do and keep up the good work!

I love what you guys do. Especially love the podcast, it’s normalizing and encouraging to keep up the fight.

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 the work you do! You were the first secular resource I found and you have helped me tremendously to understand the psychological aspect behind my husbands addiction. Disclosure was about 4 months ago, and I have him listening to your podcast now which is helping him better understand himself and where I’m at. Seriously, I’m so appreciative for the resources you provide.

I can honestly say that discovering FTND was a massive breath of fresh air! My relationship got off to a rocky start due to discovering that my boyfriend watched porn. It made me feel extremely negative in so many ways, and yet I was made to feel that it was my issue because, “Porn is not a big deal! It’s not cheating!” Thankfully, four years on, we are more on the same page with the subject of porn. I fully support FTND and will be spreading the word!

I honestly can’t thank you enough for taking the time to send me a personal message with so much guidance and encouragement. I feel better about moving forward knowing I’m not alone and I have these resources. I’m glad you mention shame so many times. Even when you love someone, it’s honestly really hard to accidentally bring shame into the conversation because you feel so hurt. Thank you for reminding me it’s not personal because it truly feels like you’ve been cheated on and it’s really tough to separate yourself from the situation. I’m going to look into these resources and try to make progress. You are making a big difference in our world, thank you.

Just wanted to share something with y’all. I’m an accountability partner for my best friend, and y’all’s content really helps because I’m able to let him know about the horrors of porn for both the viewers AND the performers. I shared this with him because it helped me in my fight. After getting that insight into pornography, it was easier to fight that temptation because I didn’t want to contribute to hurting others. Because of that, I’m able to help #StopTheDemand.

I just wanted to share that porn fueled the sexual abuse and assault I experienced as a teen. Thanks to resources like yours, I’ve been able to find healing, peace, and a life after trauma. I just wanted to thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. Someday, no one will suffer like I did and that gives me so much joy.

Keep up the good work! I kicked the habit two years ago and haven’t looked back. This is a major issue of our time and I’m glad you are speaking out on it.

So happy that this podcast is out. Spreading awareness is the key to this incredible movement. Love what you guys are doing—keep up the amazing work.

I wore a Fight shirt in a coffee shop today and it struck a conversation with a stranger, and I was able to share about FTND and how pornography affects people. THANK YOU for the awareness y’all bring, but also for your merch so I can advocate in my town.

I have been addicted to pornography for years now, and relating to these people’s experiences in this documentary makes me feel less lonely. Thank you for everything you’re doing. You make this world a better place.

It is an honor to help fight with you and your team, even if it’s just a conversation from the t-shirts to start. Truly from the most genuine part of my heart, this organization has changed my life and I cannot express my gratitude enough.

I wanted to send a quick message just to thank y’all for all you do. I am a high school teacher and this is the second year I have assigned your Brain, Heart, World documentary to my students. They really enjoyed it and learned a lot. One of my students told me today how passionate she has now become about this issue and has started having conversations with her own family and friends about it. Definitely some new Fighters out there for sure! So from one Fighter to another, thank you for the work you do. Know that it definitely does make a difference and you are definitely accomplishing your mission to educate about the harmful effects of pornography to the world! Thank you again.

This docuseries is really making me understand the true effects of porn and how it can impact minds and relationships.
