  • Good work, FTND

    As a Christian I appreciate the resources out there for those who know that God can help with this struggle and give ultimate deliverance. But I’m so thankful also for FTND, a group that uses science and logic to fight against all sexual exploitation - you guys can reach so many people! The podcast is often so interesting and eye opening.

  • Misogyny & Objectification of Women

    I’m so glad there are actual movements like this fighting the normalization of these forces in society. I’m an atheist, so my views aren’t informed my religion or “prudishness” or “insecurity” as men will often try to gaslight women into believing. P**n normalizes the objectification of women, which feeds male entitlement and asymmetrical power dynamics in relationships, period. Women are also lied to about p**n use, which is consent theft. We have the right to not be in relationships with men w... more

  • Great except for ads.

    Love this podcast but there needs to be a better way to segue into advertisements. I understand the need for advertising, that’s not the issue. However they come at the most random and unexpected times and the volume of the ads is way louder than the podcast and it is always jarring. Please find a better way. Thanks.

  • This podcast will save lives

    I too , like many people on these episodes, discovered porn at way too young of an age. Decades later I am still processing what that content has done to my brain, my relationships and my sexuality. However I do believe there is hope and the first step comes with recognizing this is a problem. This podcast is a source of information and compassion for those who have been victimized and also those who have hurt but want do better moving forward. Thank you for your work, thank you for these interv... more

    Such a great episode. Love the discussion around how one of the worst parts of betrayal trauma is the madness of the intrusive thoughts and how you question yourself the barrage of self doubt and thinking you’re the issue. 😥 I also love the part about coming back to your body and more full self and rediscovering what brings you joy. Bessel Van Der Kolk says “Remember to remember”, and I think that’s key. 💛
