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!
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’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!
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.
I just wanted to tell you that your posts are so motivating. I can’t thank you enough–you people are doing a tremendous job. I think the most dangerous thing about porn is that it is accessible. Please continue the work that you’re doing and keep helping millions of people from all over the world get rid of this drug. Thank you once again. Peace!
I’ve been following you guys for more than a year. A week ago, I confessed to someone that I struggle with porn. Once those words left my mouth, I felt this huge relief off my chest. I’ve been struggling with porn since I was 10 years old and now I am 24 years old. I hid my addiction in the dark, but now it’s in the light. I just want to thank you guys for this page. It’s been so helpful, and now I can walk on this path to freedom! My chains have been broken!
I watched porn and it made me feel really uncomfortable, yet a lot of people see it as harmless fun,so I thought I must be a “prude.” Seeing your YouTube videos changed that. I know porn is unhealthy for individuals and society, and people are exploited terribly in the industry. The only people who benefit from this issue are those making money from it. Keep up the good work in creating awareness.
