Crissy was molested at the age of four, a pattern of abuse that would continue throughout her childhood and teen years. When she became an adult, various decisions and pressures to please the men in her life lead Crissy to start working as a performer in pornography. For seven years, Crissy performed in pornography, enduring more physical and emotional abuse and surviving several suicide attempts. Her ongoing search for love and approval kept her in the porn industry until she was able to break free from the industry and never look back. Now, Crissy has dedicated her life to sharing her story and helping women in different parts of the sex industry break free. Her story has been featured in several news outlets and magazines, including GQ and Playboy. Hear Crissy’s story in her own words as we discuss the experiences that pushed her into the porn industry and, ultimately, caused her to escape it.

For this episode of Consider Before Consuming, we sat down with Libbi (name changed to conceal her identity), an anti-porn activist and follower of Fight the New Drug, to discuss her experience of being married to a porn addict. At first, Libbi says she and her ex-spouse were working on addressing his compulsive pornography habit, but later decided to go their separate ways after he revealed that he was never sexually attracted to her—and believed he might never be. Listen to Libbi’s vulnerable story as she opens up to our podcast host, Garrett Jonsson, about life with a porn addict. Libbi is just one of the over 4 million Fighters worldwide who have recognized the harms of pornography and have pledged to do something about it.
