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’ve been following FTND for many years now, and I agree that just the posts alone don’t stop the addiction in addicts. But they can help be the beginning for change for an addict, and they especially can potentially prevent someone from becoming an addict in the first place. As someone (female) who was unknowingly addicted to it at age 11, I didnt learn until I was 27 that I was addicted. That’s when I stumbled upon FTND and was educated on my physical and mental symptoms and that porn is linked to human trafficking . I’ve been clean ever since, almost 12 years later. And some symptoms still linger, but I know they will fade with time. And I do my part by sharing information like this to others, to bring awareness and compassion, and educate my own children in age appropriate ways to protect their minds, hearts, and those of others by avoiding such images and videos.
I am a happy young man now. Since taking the #NoPornovember challenge last year, I have been able to stay two months without a click on pornography. The start wasn’t easy but I am a better person now. Without porn, I have become more confident than I used to be. I don’t have a love life, but I am now a free person. It was always stressful to be a prisoner of pornography but Fight the New Drug has been very helpful. I am not ashamed anymore to talk about porn addiction and its effects and emptiness.
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.
I would just like to thank you for your content and care for the cause. I’ve been struggling with porn addiction myself, too ashamed to tell anyone about it. But it has certainly taken a toll on multiple areas of my life. Every time I feel the urge, I read another paragraph in your "50 Reasons Why You Should Quit Porn" post. It really helps. The struggle is real, but I just want to say thank you.
Hi! After coming across your page and my boyfriend having erectile dysfunction (at 23!), we had a talk last summer about porn! He’s said he can see sexual dysfunction being a side effect and didn’t know porn could cause these things. He’s been laying off and things have improved so so much. The discussion guide really helped! So, thank you!
This is information that the world needs to hear! Love how packed yet simple each episode is! They are encouraging me to start conversations and raise awareness. There’s so much great info on FTND’s site, but sometimes it’s nice to listen. Looking forward to learning more and being a part of the movement in creating new social norms around healthy sexuality!
I wanted to take a moment and thank your organization. I’ve been addicted on and off since I was a teenager. I stopped for nearly two years when I first met my wife, and about two years ago, I fell back on it in a big way. I confessed my struggle to my wife, and although she was obviously upset, her support was still there. I’d go a week or two, then give in. Now, I’m on my current longest streak in a couple of years of two months, and it feels amazing. My marriage is stronger and our sex life is great again. It’s organizations like yours that keep love alive and talk about the uncomfortable/unpopular side of the porn industry that need to be discussed! Keep up the good work, and thank you again.
