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!

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.

Hi FTND team,
I’m a long-time supporter from Nigeria and have been a dedicated fighter for years. I recently came across your April 18 post discussing hookup culture. This topic is incredibly relevant here in Nigeria, where hookup culture is a growing concern, especially among the youth.
Thank you for your continued efforts in educating and empowering individuals worldwide.

Informative and uplifting. I came here after watching a porn video, and I felt down and overwhelmed. This documentary gave me hope.

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!

Hello! I just wanted to say how much Fight the New Drug has helped me, I love all of the posts and podcasts. Although I personally don’t consume pornography, my ex partner had a secret porn addiction and I experienced immense pain being the betrayed partner. I learned how damaging porn can be for relationships and love. To try to process everything and try to heal from betrayal trauma initially, one thing that helped me was expressing my pain through art. I made this drawing and wanted to share with Fightthenewdrug to express how porn addiction harms relationships. Thank you so much!

I’m grateful to have come across your website while I was searching for ways to stop my compulsive porn use. For the first time, I feel like I have the upper hand over my struggles. You gave me the strength to fight on when I was feeling helpless. By shedding light on the impact that porn has on me, the people closest to me, and the society at large, you encouraged me to quit porn. Not just for me but for everyone who is affected.

I just want to thank you for the dedicated work you are putting in daily. My exposure to porn started before I was a teenager and while I spent much of my high school and college years being open about the struggle and “wanting” to quit, my addiction to it grew inside of my marriage. Instead of dealing with feelings of resentment with my wife, I fled to fantasy in porn and eventually adultery. While I willingly accept total responsibility for my sexual brokenness and all its consequences, it took getting caught five years ago to bring about the seeds of recovery that have really taken deep root. I discovered you on Instagram less than a year ago and have told my recovery group, my new wife, my friends, and anyone who will listen about the quality work you are doing. If only I had known about you eight years ago, even though I was not willing to give up my behavior. Now, more than ever, your facts, research, and movement have done nothing but fill me with hope and gratitude.

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.

Listening to a level-headed bunch of people discuss an issue that is affecting many, many people is very inspiring. If you are trying to help someone stop, show them this.

WOW! That’s an incredibly powerful docuseries. I had a similar experience to one of the guys in the film as a kid, and messed up a lot of my life. It took years of hard work to stop watching porn, and I’m still tempted. This film was so motivational to stay free and focus on healthy relationships and experiencing life.

You guys helped me quit porn because you showed me that I wasn’t broken. You showed me that I’m fighting for love and for true intimacy and connection. The information you provide has helped me enlighten others about the dangers of porn. Thank you. Keep fighting. I know that a lot of people like me only lurk around your page, but just know that you are helping people. I know you are because you have helped me. Keep fighting. Fight for love!

I just wanted to say thank you. You helped me get through a lonely, challenging time in my life by giving me a harsh wake up call. Thank you! I’m 2 years porn-free and I couldn’t have done it without this organization!
