I became friends with a web model. I was her number one fan and we eventually got married. I still struggled with porn, until I found connection in a digital support group.
“I am a YouTuber who created a video regarding my journey with self-esteem and choosing to wear a bikini on the beach while overweight to battle the negative self-image.”
The reality is that porn is a part of the world that kids are growing up with, and it’s important to be aware of the potential consequences porn may be having on young people.
“We communicate so much more. We are more confident with each other. We are more relaxed during sex. It feels like there’s a spark there.”
It started out of curiosity but had a hold on him for probably at least 4 years. I was crushed, but also felt so naive for not knowing about it.
Most young people are getting at least some of their education about sex from porn, whether they mean to or not. This is especially concerning, considering how wildly unrealistic and toxic porn can be.
“I’ve been addicted to porn for most of my life. I started exploring my sexuality much earlier than I care to share.”
From our beginning in 2009, we would be nowhere without our Fighters, and we are so grateful for the support we receive from each and every one of you.
Porn is produced for entertainment purposes, not education. Clearly, porn is not a quality tool to learn about mutually satisfying sex.
“[Quitting porn] has helped me to see women as people, instead of objects. To see them as beautiful minds, not just as body parts.”
Most of us don’t have as many Instagram followers as these Fighters, but anyone can make a difference when it comes to raising awareness on the harmful effects of porn in society.
“I developed a huge lack of self-confidence, I started to hate my body and I didn’t know how to start and keep real relationships.”
