what if you don't have to look at porn on dvd or internet but you just have the thoughts in your mind

I wanted to know how do you get rid of the thoughts I can keep away from the internet and porn movies but it is the thoughts that are the problem.

I always pray this prayer: Father thank you for the gift of my sexuality and thank you for the beauty of my sisters. I surrender my lustful desire to you. And I ask you to please, by the power of your death and resurrection, to untwist in me what sin has twisted, so that I may experience sexuality the way you created it to be.
If memorized and prayed, it is much better than trying not to think about the images.
I am going to try that prayer because it hits on how God wants us to view things from his perceptive so I know it is the words in our prayer he cares about and acts on.
Good one to jot down on a 3x5 card and keep in the back pocket.... never know when that urge comes and you'd need to pull it out.

true you can keep pulling out that card and let God deal with that I am starting to learn that love for God means hard work it is the love that we have for God to work hard at being the best that he wants us to be is the love he wants us to have.
The thoughts diminish after a while but I have to admit they still pop up from time to time, after all we are human and there is a lot of temptation out there. What you will be better at is dismising them as BS and not having to "act out" as you did before. When the thoughts pop up, pray until they pass. Do it every time, something "unclean" or something you know is wrong comes to mind. STAY OFF THE PORN and will get better my friend, I promise

thanks wastin I really appreciate that.
hi mate I understand how you feel and can relate to that.
I would advise you to try and put your mind on other things and when the ideas come into your mind think of something else and pray ask God to take the thourghts out of your mind.
the bible says in Romans Be transformed by the renewing of your minds. and that is what God wants for you he can transform and renew your mind it may take some time but slowly if you let God in more he will help you deal with any thing that gets into your mind
you can do it go for it.

instead of going cold turkey I think they call it a substitute effect you do something positive for something negative develope a positive habit for the negative one.
