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 thought I was alone in my feelings about pornography until I found your page and realized there are like-minded people out there and it has made me feel somewhat better. I feel like society has normalized porn viewing to be acceptable thing in a monogamous relationship. I really support what you’re doing and I bought your “Stop the Demand” tee shirt and I can’t wait to get it.
Hey guys! I just wanted to say thank you. This page is incredible and has been an inspiration for me. I’m currently 59 days porn-free, and this page keeps reminding me why I need to fight. You guys are awesome!
My marriage fell apart because of the harsh impact of pornography. My ex-husband is a good man; porn just changed how he functioned, spoke, thought, and looked at me. It hurt us in many ways, and it consumed the amazing person he is. I hope he finds a way to deeply and fully recover someday. He once told me that he saw FTND at our college campus, and he wanted to buy a shirt so bad… He said he knew it would be his anthem to himself if he were to buy one. To stop and be able to tell others to as well. He said one day he was so close, but he wasn’t ready. So, thank you for your impact. I will wear the two shirts I just bought now as an anthem as well. Thank you for all you do for the thousands who never said anything about it. You are saving lives.
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’ve struggled with porn addiction since age 12. I’m finally choosing to let my shame go. Porn is very prevalent in Icelandic society, but its negative effects are rarely, if ever, discussed. People view it as perfectly normal. Therapists never mention it as an issue, and I’ve never heard an Icelandic person admit they have a problem with porn, so I felt like I was the only one. Hearing personal accounts from FTND and studying the research has been so refreshing, knowing that I am not alone.
In high school, I gave a speech explaining porn stats I got from your website. The teacher told me afterwards she’d learned a lot and wished everyone in school could hear that message. I think people here would agree, but they just don’t know. So I wanted to thank you, especially for your podcast which has been a way for me to be surrounded by light and strength. You reach far outside the US, and have at least one supporter in Iceland. Much love.
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.
It was informative, relatable, engaging, funny, and just very real. It wasn’t sugar-coated but it was explained with lots of examples, personal stories, and heart. I work at a drop-in center for youth and this is something that I think would be totally appropriate, fun, and helpful to watch with them.
Thankful someone is putting this information out there in video form so that more people will see. I’ve read books on porn addiction, but most people will never pick up one book let alone read it in their lifetime about this issue. These videos will reach so many more people! Thank you for caring to educate the masses.
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!
