A Letter to Those Seeking More
Dear Friend,
The world has changed dramatically in the last three decades. Since 1990, we've witnessed unprecedented technological advancement, connecting humanity in ways previously unimaginable. Yet alongside these remarkable achievements, we've seen troubling trends: rising rates of depression, anxiety, and loneliness despite our increased connectivity.
In this same period, pornography has transformed from a marginalized industry to a dominant force in our digital landscape. What was once difficult to access is now available instantly, endlessly, and often freely to anyone with an internet connection. Monthly visits to major pornographic websites have surged from 134 million to over 4.5 billion—a staggering 33x increase.
We're not here to condemn or shame. We're here to ask a simple question: What might be possible if we paused?
What if millions of us chose to step away from pornography for just 30 days? What might we discover about ourselves? What conversations might emerge? What energy might be redirected? What connections might be strengthened or restored?
The November Project isn't about politics, religion, or moral crusades. It's about curiosity and potential. It's about creating space to experience life differently, even if just for a month.
Why November?
November has become a month of intentional challenges—from growing mustaches for men's health awareness to writing novels. We believe it's the perfect time to explore another dimension of human experience: what happens when we step away from artificial stimulation and turn toward authentic connection?
People choose this path for countless reasons: improving mental health, enhancing relationship quality, ethical considerations, personal growth, physical wellbeing, neurological health, or spiritual practice. Your "why" is personal and valid.
Our goal is ambitious but simple: one million commitments to abstain from pornography for the month of November 2025. Not as an end in itself, but as a beginning—a collective experiment in human potential.
What We Believe
We believe in human resilience and adaptability. We believe in the power of community to support positive change. We believe that when we create space in our lives by removing artificial stimuli, something remarkable often grows in that space.
We believe that as individuals choose greater presence, emotional wholeness, and authentic connection, our communities and relationships naturally strengthen. This isn't about restriction—it's about expansion.
We believe this challenge can benefit anyone, regardless of relationship status, gender, or background. Whether you consume pornography occasionally or habitually, the invitation is the same: join us for 30 days and see what you discover.
Our Promise
We promise to provide tools, community, and support throughout your journey. From a dedicated app with daily challenges to accountability groups and emergency resources when urges hit—we've built an ecosystem to help you succeed.
We promise to respect your privacy and your agency. This is your journey, undertaken in your way, for your reasons.
We promise to celebrate your effort, not just your outcome. Whether you make it one day or thirty, each step represents growth.
The Invitation
Skeptical? That's natural. We invite you to prove us wrong. Join The November Project for 30 days, then decide for yourself if the experience was worthwhile. What do you have to lose?
Imagine November 30th arriving and looking back on a month of discovery, growth, and perhaps even transformation. Imagine being part of a global community that chose, together, to explore human potential in a new way.
Now imagine what December 1st might feel like, carrying forward whatever insights you've gained, whatever strengths you've developed, whatever clarity you've achieved.
The November Project isn't the end of a journey—it's the beginning. Will you join us?
With hope and conviction,
The November Project Team
