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 found porn in an effort to understand what was being done to me. As a 10-year-old boy, I was being molested and raped regularly by my 16-year-old male cousin. I found out later that he was addicted to porn, and that was part of what made him try to act it out on me. I struggled with porn and an unhealthy relationship with sex until my early 20s. I bought my first FTND shirt years ago, and I just joined the Fighter Club. Thank you guys for what you are doing to fight something that fuels sexual abuse and child trafficking and exploitation.
Hearing how it’s an everyday battle when you’re on the road to recovery and freedom from porn is scary, but knowing that you’re not in this alone is helpful. And really just the dreams and aspirations mentioned in the documentary put it all into perspective, that you don’t want this addiction to flood into those areas in your life. Let the battle begin.
Just wanted to say I’ve been through a lot in my 24 years of life, but my porn/sex obsession has probably been one of the toughest to kick. Maybe it’s because it’s so easy to access, maybe because so many people think it’s okay . . . There are a lot of reasons, but seeing your posts and your stories do help me know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel and I’ll be okay. I’ll be better than okay, someday. And I’ll win this fight.
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.
