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!
Before I found this account, I had been struggling with porn addiction to a point that it was all I could think about. I knew it was bad for me, but I did it anyways, which hurt way more, by the way. Then I found FTND in the fall of 2019, and ever since then, my fight has been so much better and less one-sided. Yes, I have had bumps in the road during my fight, but it has not discouraged me. Instead, it motivated me to do even better and to not make those mistakes again. Thank you so much for helping me with something I have been struggling with for the past 6 years of my life. You’re keeping me strong and motivated every day.
I found out my husband was watching porn about a year into our marriage, and it has taken me a year to mentally get over it. He is porn-free now and our sex life has been so much better. I don’t think people realize the damage it does to relationships and to your own self-worth. So happy I found your page! Porn most definitely kills love.
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!
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!
My husband struggled with addiction to pornography since his teenage years. The first time I found out, I was pregnant with our first child and didn’t react well. The second time he confessed to me I was in a better place and my reaction was totally different. I asked how I could help, cheered him on, and sometimes babysat his phone when he was feeling tempted. He hasn’t viewed pornography for 2 years! Being loving and understanding truly made all the difference.
