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 used to make adult content on Tumblr. I believed it was a good way to make money and grow an audience. When I realized that I would be contributing to the downfall of others, I immediately stopped. I then saw how engrossed Tumblr was in porn, even after their iconic porn ban. This organization gives me hope for a better society.
Thanks for your work, guys. The beginning of the pandemic was rough for me—I really struggled with pornography. I was doing research about it and came to your Instagram page, which led me to the podcast. I listened to like two episodes and, no word of a lie, I haven’t watched porn in at least eight months now. I can’t do it on my own, so finding your podcast was amazing. Thanks, guys.
I believe that podcasts and organizations like this are just what we need. Porn has become such a prevalent issue in our society today, and being able to have challenging conversations and ones that might seem a bit awkward at first is exactly what we need to push ourselves outside of our comfort zones and focus instead on emotional healing and prevention from the damaging effects that porn can have.
I just wanted to thank you guys for all you do! Both my husband and I grew up in very religious families, and talking about porn was always a taboo conversation filled with a lot of shame. My husband has struggled with porn since junior high, and since we’ve been married, I’ve never known how to talk to him about it and see how he’s doing. But because of your page and all the amazing work you do, it’s slowly given me the courage to have an open dialogue with my husband about it. It’s made our relationship so much better because we can actually communicate! He feels safe being able to come to me when he feels those urges, and I am so much more understanding of the struggle that he’s constantly facing. So thank you, thank you, thank you! The awareness that you are sharing is invaluable.
FTND has created a community where pornography consumption is no longer the norm. Their approach is to show love, report the facts and science along with personal experiences to show the harmful effects of porn. They helped my husband overcome porn. They helped me understand the addiction. They created a space where my questions could be answered. My husband and I are both so excited for this podcast and hope it reaches those who are still consumed with damaging behavior!
I just want to say thank you to the people at FTND. I started watching porn at a young age and even got caught multiple times, but couldn’t stop watching it. I realized I was addicted when I was 14, but was never motivated enough to do something about it. Watching your videos on IGTV really helped me find motivation to give up porn. From sex trafficking to how it affects relationships, I realized how much damage I was doing to myself. But after knowing that, I just started feeling bad about myself. That’s when your Brain, Heart, World series came in handy. I was able to see all the people who had struggled with porn and could relate to their stories. I didn’t feel alone anymore. I’m truly inspired by FTND. Thank you so much for taking a stand on this platform. Groups like this are going to change the world.
Hey y’all, I watched your three-part documentary series, Brain, Heart, World. It was absolutely amazing. Thank you for putting together this project and drawing awareness to not only the harms of pornography, but how a good life full of real and true love without porn truly changes the world! You have started a fire that will burn bright in the hearts of people, giving them the confidence and hope that a life without porn is not only possible, but so much better! Keep it up!
