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 (female) was exposed to pornography at a very early age. It definitely warped my understanding of sexuality and intimacy in ways I’m only just realising now (20+ years on).
I agree with the podcast host that the effects of pornography do not discriminate and I am grateful for this channel and its resources. They are helping me unpack how that young exposure fuelled some of my dysfunctional behaviour as I got older.
Thanks everyone at FTND
Hi there! I just sent you my story regarding porn addiction through your website this evening. I’m definitely becoming more bold with my story, and carrying less shame. Much of this is attributed to what I’ve seen on your Instagram page. You all do great work and I’m extremely appreciative. Ultimately, a story that was recently shared inspired me to reach out to you and share a bit more of my two-decade struggle, so thank you. Thank you for all you do in helping others like me and exposing the porn industry for what it is. The shame is no longer on me—it’s on them.
I can honestly say that discovering FTND was a massive breath of fresh air! My relationship got off to a rocky start due to discovering that my boyfriend watched porn. It made me feel extremely negative in so many ways, and yet I was made to feel that it was my issue because, “Porn is not a big deal! It’s not cheating!” Thankfully, four years on, we are more on the same page with the subject of porn. I fully support FTND and will be spreading the word!
Thank you so much for what you do! This organization has really opened my eyes to the harmful effects of porn. The Brain, Heart, World documentary along with the social media posts and online articles have been especially enlightening and impactful for me. Thanks to FTND, I feel I can spread this important information in more accessible ways such as through social media or through wearing your gear. My passion to end exploitation, specifically human trafficking, led me to your organization a few years ago, and I’m so glad I found it. I truly appreciate the work that you do.
I have felt like I am worth the time I put into my self. I let go of the shame I carried as being a viewer, a secret life that no one knew about. I am who I authentically want to be. People see this person and know this person. I’m doing a 5K run in a couple weeks that I’ve been training for.
I’m glad to find this platform. I have tried to quit before, and when looking for resources, I could only find some that had religious reasonings and it was hard to find something that was science and fact-based
FTND has provided me with lots of information regarding the negative reality of the porn industry and the effects viewing pornography has on the consumer. Your website features really informative articles packed with science and facts on the truth about porn and how it affects things like the brain of the consumer, relationships, intimacy, and even society at large. I will support this cause for as long as I live and breathe on this planet. The fact that you aim to impact the most vulnerable of the population, youth, makes me feel like this work needs to continue so long as pornography remains a public health crisis.
I was once a prisoner of porn and am still fighting against its grip on my life. It is the FTND website that has helped me find a way to fight and encourage me to seek real love rather than artificial love, especially in the past year as I tried to focus on my studies and finish my final year of high school. FTND has helped me more than I could ever express when I was introduced to the movement in 2016. I basically want to say thank you to everyone who is keeping the movement alive. Keep it up because it has changed my life.
