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 just wanted to say thank you SO much for having this page. I have been addicted to porn since I was ten, and it is something I have felt so ashamed of/never felt I would be able to stop being a slave to. I have been going through so much self-hatred because of it, and your page has truly helped me so much! I am a week and a half clean, and already feel so much better.
I’m a high school counselor, and I see how, in teen culture, sending and receiving nudes has become “normal.” I see the firsthand effects this has on both boys and girls: depression, anxiety, shame, guilt, suicidal ideation, self-harm, and in some cases, death by suicide. I always direct my clients to your work for help. Thank you for shedding light on this pivotal issue our teens and children are facing.
I’m fairly choosy with my time, and there are countless podcasts out there. I’ve been following FTND for a while now, first on Instagram and then through the website. When I found out you had a podcast, I had to check it out. If you’re looking for information, it’s here. If you want powerful true stories, they’re here. If you just need a little bit of encouragement to get through the day, it’s here. ‘Consider before Consuming’ is a podcast true to its vision—to fight for love and equip others with the tools they need to do just that. Don’t put this off. Give it a listen right now.
Excellent! It makes me understand pornography more deeply and more seriously. I remember when I first watched pornography, I always thought that porn stars were enjoying themselves in the scenes and they were just unbelievably good at sex. But all these things are not realistic in a real relationship. Viewing porn may be a pleasure for some people, but for the performers, it’s often humiliating and nightmarish. This changed my opinion about pornography.
Keep up the amazing work. I am on day 30 of no porn and your organization and posts have been really helpful. I am ever so grateful to be given another chance to redeem myself. I would really love to help this movement in any way because I am so done with this addiction. Your documentary opened my mind to the damage porn does to me, my relationships, and the victims of the industry. Thank you a billion times.
