A question about how to eradicate specific images from the mind

[BigGermanPillow]

I wrote this on my latest entry in the No Pressure / No Rush Journal:

When I got home at lunchtime, I helped out with some dreary admin work with my parents. I also gave my dad my old phone, and upon checking the pictures, came across one particular pornographic GIF. I freaked out with embarrassment before my dad could see and deleted the image. This one particular image is problematic for me. In the past, it has turned me on so much and this has been the image that has flashed up in my mind during sex with Maria at times. Any advice on how I can eradicate it from my memory?

Does anyone have any tips on how to totally get rid of a specific pornographic memory?

If you want to get good at something then the trick is hours and hours of repetition. If you want to learn to play a musical instrument, you have to repeat the same things over, and over, and over again.

Porn imagery is like this. If you have a porn scene that you keep repeating over, and over, and over again, then you are just reinforcing the porn memory. So, you need to watch your mind constantly, when the porn imagery or fantasy pops up, notice it, then start think about something else. Over time, you will weaken the porn imagery and its effect will weaken also. You might not be able to completely forget an image or scene (I can still remember porn clips from 25 years ago) but they won't have a debilitating effect upon you, in my experience.

Meditation will help as it is mind control

When it enters your mind, realize it for what it really is: poison. Then ignore it. It appears to bother you and to try and get you to relapse, so dont give it any acknowledgement.
