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!
Hey guys, I just wanted to say thank you so much. I am a 12-year-old kid who has been addicted to porn for over six years. My sister found out and she showed me the Fight the New Drug three-part series. I watched all three episodes and I am no longer watching porn. So I just wanted to thank you, and without you guys, I would still be watching.
I’m a senior in high school and I wrote about the harmful effects of pornography on women, and I just wanted to let you know that your TikTok account gave me the inspiration to do so. I had the clip of your interview with Dr. John Foubert in my favorites since 2021, and it always stayed in the back of my mind. So when I was assigned a research essay on a topic of my choosing, I thought of you guys. Thank you for fighting the good fight, and thank you for motivating me to write about it!
I stumbled upon your podcast on Spotify and it blew my mind! I saw porn for the first time when I was 13, and it became an unhealthy coping mechanism that sabotaged my college experience and a few of my relationships. I’ve tried to quit several times for different reasons and with different strategies, but none of them lasted that long. I had been going to therapy for the last year and ironically, I found your podcast just last week. The curriculum that y’all had, combined with my passion for anti-human trafficking, combined with therapy, and figuring out why I turned to porn to destress is LITERALLY rewiring my brain. I will browse the internet and hit mental blockages as I realize that the way my neurons are firing is in an objectifying manner and I’ll close whatever pages I’m on. Thank you for all that you guys are doing!
Wow, it’s like a revelation to me. I kinda binge listened to all of the podcast episodes this week while at work and home, and my mind is blown. Porn is the root of where I lost myself, I didn’t know but now I understand! Porn is the root of so much of what I stand against and things I’ve been subject to and yet I have fed into and engaged in pornography. I knew the grip it had on me but I didn’t connect the dots.
Just wanted to say thanks for what you guys do! My husband quit porn 17 months ago and hasn’t gone back since. We really love your page. We got married when I was 19 and he was 23, and he lied about his addiction for a year during our 3 years of marriage. But now he’s free from it, and is happier than ever and makes great choices and our relationship is so much better even though it has been tough. The honesty that has come from it has been amazing. Keep doing what you’re doing!!
Thank you for all that you do. FTND never ceases to amaze me with the bold people who share their stories, informative fact-based articles, and forward movement toward a very important cause. Your article about Hollywood celebrities created a few heroes of mine. For big-name icons to be speaking out about this is bigger than just about anything I’ve ever seen. I genuinely appreciate all that FTND does.
