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!
Wow this is insane. Seeing her talk about this made me realize that early exposure is what caused a lot of my issues as a teen/adult…never before have I connected the dots or really were ever able to call it out as something traumatic. Thank you so much for the work that you do. This is huge.
Over these last 12 months, I’ve been deeply impacted by your organization. I discovered Fight the New Drug during my research on the harms of porn and can’t begin to express the level of gratitude I have for those of you who created Brain, Heart, World. I know you don’t know me personally, but I want to simply thank you all for your dedication to this fight. Since discovering this film, I have hosted several viewings with friends, and with the men in my local community (about 100 men, ages 18-75). Each viewing is powerful and leaves every person deeply impacted. From my experience, after viewing Brain, Heart, World, conversations about the topic of porn open up. I believe one of the biggest problems surrounding the issue of porn is that no one talks about it. I’m so grateful that more people are opening up about this topic and bringing it out of the shadows! Thanks for everything you do.
Brain, Heart, World was very informative and insightful. The topic itself was uncomfortable to think about watching, but as I watched it, it just made me feel like I was learning more about how we are all affected differently by the things in this world and how it is the little things that are done over and over again that can have larger and more intense effects on us as an individual.
Recently, I was walking down the street in my city, and I heard this couple read my FTND shirt out loud as I walked by. So I turned around and smiled at them and struck up a conversation. They were a married couple, probably in their thirties, and they were just genuinely curious about what an 18-year-old was doing with a shirt like mine on. So I happily shared my whole story about how I was addicted to porn from 5th grade until sophomore year of high school, and how I’ve been walking in freedom since then. I shared about its connection to trafficking and the dangers of shame. It really just ended up being a really cool conversation for all of us!
I work at a huge tech company, and we usually deal with websites that can host pornography. People made jokes about it at first, including my coworkers. I introduced them to FTND and its informational side regarding what porn does to the brain. Anyways, a few days ago, my buddy at work let me know it’s made an impact on him and that he’s going to stop consuming porn. I feel really good about it. It’s hard being a woman in technology (especially because we are outnumbered 4:1) but it’s even harder when objectification of women is something that’s just happening in front of our faces without even knowing the true effects of it on our brain long term. I feel like I bring important things to the table being a lady in tech, and FTND has been a significant thing in my life. I’m spreading it like wildfire. I’m tired of it being the norm.
Hello! Firstly, thank you for your amazing work done for 17 years! I discovered you today, just after a meaningful break-up. The compulsive use (or addiction) of porn and sexcams destroyed him and our relationship. In the end, I am a person who gives back love and good for terrible experience. I want to share love and inspire others of doing good, even if you are hurt. So again, thank you for speaking about the problem from both addict’s and partner’s experience. Making a donation for you is a pleasure.
