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!
Dear FTND, I just wanted to say thank you. I am a normal tenth-grade girl who was told my whole life that porn was “gross and dirty.” I wanted to understand outside of my own context why it was “bad.” Your website has provided me with the information I needed to justify why I took my stand against pornography. In English class, I was able to speak for 6 minutes about something; I chose the dangers of porn. It wasn’t easy, but my heart breaks for this generation of boys and girls who don’t understand why they can’t seem to have functional relationships. I wanted to do something about it. I have had multiple conversations after my speech, and hope that at least one person began to think about the potential consequences of porn. This hasn’t been easy to talk about it, but having the right information definitely made it easier. Thank you.
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.
Hey fighters! Your articles and mission have been a huge comfort to me and my family lately: my sibling was just incarcerated for possession of underage p*rn. Our community and friends have been so forgiving and gracious to us, and I’m grateful knowing that y’all are out there telling the truth about this addiction too.
Thank you for all you do, never stop fighting (and loving)! ✊
