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 think the world needs more podcasts like this. Talking about REAL issues that everyone struggles with. I can only count on one hand how many podcasts I’ve listened to that really go deep into the real issues of porn and the mental, physical, and spiritual impact porn has on men AND women.
I watched Brain, Heart, World, this weekend and it’s a must-see. The explanation of porn’s effects on your brain, relationships, and the world caught my eye because the message never centered on whether porn is “good” or “bad,” but rather was based on scientific evidence. It was approachable for young minds. I was quickly hooked, playing one episode after another. Mixing personal stories with professional perspectives was an effective way to show how a consumer’s brain changes when exposed to porn, and the ways can alter our personality, preferences, and approach to life.
What I liked the most was the hopeful tone of the documentary. Despite showing terrible effects and heartbreaking stories, it sends an optimistic message, addressing directly people who may be trapped in porn consumption and giving them information as to where to turn for help.
First of all, I would like to say thank you to everyone involved. I was introduced to porn in 5th grade by a friend. This was the very beginning of a vice that would consume my life. For the next 9 years of my life porn controlled me. It ruined friendships and relationships with family and destroyed friendships and relationships with most of the women in my life. Porn twisted my idea of love, sex, and intimacy as a whole. I ruined a relationship with a wonderful woman who gave me every chance. I love her more than I love life itself but I hurt her in an inconceivable way because of the normalization of porn in my life for so long. Doing it alone was a struggle but I am proud to say that I am over 3 months clean. I have seen the impact in my day to day life and I can feel the emotional impact this change has caused. Porn numbs your mind to real love and true intimacy. I wish I discovered your page sooner but I cannot say thank you enough. Although I couldn’t save my relationship. I was able to save myself and any future partners. Thank you to everyone involved you guys have impacted my life so much I can barely recognize myself.
Hey guys, I’m 80 days porn-free today. I’m feeling proud of myself and hoping to make it to 100 days. Reading FTND tweets every day really is a great help. So, thank you for the inspiration!
I really liked the comparisons used in this video to help youth and laypersons understand the science behind brain activity. The episode was short and sweet. I will watch it again and hopefully be able to share it with my partner who watches porn currently. I am a nursing student and am fascinated by this movement, as it is fundamentally promoting awareness on individual and public health. Every little bit helps! Keep producing and spreading awareness across the world!! I will keep donating from now on! I’m so happy to have found a cause I can really get behind because it is unique and something I hold very close to my heart.
