How do I deal with these porn flashbacks?

The usual suspects: Exercise, mediation, cold showers, walks outside, hanging out with friends and etc. Really helps me with rebooting overall, and it will probably help you too.

Other than that, I sometimes put a rubber band on my arm. Every time I have an intrusive thought, I stretch the rubber band to hit my arm, and I feel immediate pain. my brain links the feeling of pain to thought I just had, So it will try to avoid thinking such things. You should repeat this until you feel improvement.

Let me know if anything works for you. Good luck!

 

Best thing I can say my brother is embrace it. Be happy that you watched it, for it has allowed you to embark on this incredible journey that is going to change your life for the better. You will become a better version of yourself. Just change the way you look at it. Instead of trying to fight the thought off, embrace it. Eventually those thoughts will fade

 

As difficult as it may sound, I think so yes. Trying to fight it off is going to cause you more stress and anxiety. Just never go back to watching it. Remember, your brain will rewire and those flashbacks will fade away over time. As I said, just try and change the perspective. Those porn videos have actually helped you make big changes in your life that will only help make your life better

 

Either works. The more you stress about them the worse they get. They weaken over time

 

I understand that this may be a really difficult thing to do, but I think it would be better you did this than stress over it. Take a deep breath, embrace it and learn to have control over your thoughts. Before long you will master it. And the longer you go without watching porn, those images in your kind will get weaker and weaker. But give it time

 

Don't fight them, just let them pass, and turn your mind to something nicer.
