Remembering porn scenes affects recovery?

Im wondering this also, because sometimes im getting intense flashbacks and Im also getting aroused by them even if I dont want to..

Im trying to insert new thoughts for my brain about porn when this happens, thoughts about those actors in the scenes who might be in pain and chances are high that they dont enjoy doing those thing AT ALL, they might have/get stds, and that P industry is really bad in so many different ways. and that this is definetly not something I want to be looking at /seeing in my head because of (insert your own reasons here).

You can google articles about Pstars speaking up about reality of the P industry. There is one good one at "Collective shout" website, I cant post link so you will have to google it.

Reading these articles really helped me with my own flashbacks, and made pornstars feel like "more human" to me, that they have feelings, they are hurting, they have misrable lifes because of porn and are doing drugs and even trying suicides, because they all traumatized amd feeling so bad.

 

I think flashbacks like that are more just a symptom of excessive P use/addiction, aka the reason you are quitting in the first place. Over time, if you abstain long enough, those memories will start to fade away. In the meantime when they do pop up, don't freak out or feel bad about yourself, just calmly let them go and distract yourself with something else. They are only damaging to your progress if you let yourself dwell on them and let them trigger you to relapse.

 

Don't worry about stuff like that. Just focus on rebooting

 

Thought comes, thoughts pass. Acknowledge them, say “I don’t need this”, and move on.

This might sound really strange, but it’s like a break up. It’s gets easier over time.

 

If these memories are really stimulating to you it means you are doing well, your dopamine receptors are more sensitive.
If you watch only one specific P video, it will not be stimulating after a short time, because the most dopamine stimulating things are the new experiences and new things.
You are right, the excessive amount of scenes and girl is the problem.
