Maybe this is a great opportunity for you to take the hint from her and chill out, relax and have some fun.

Really? So that explains why she didn't tell you about it. She didn't tell you because she knew you'd 'disapprove' - and as it turns out - you do! You're not her father! or the morality police ! You're her lover....

It's actually quite sad, that a wife doesn't feel safe enough with her H to have a good joke about how she and the girls are getting a male stripper over to spice up, in a totally non-threatening way, a girls-night-in. Sadly your over reaction to it, demonstrates why she didn't tell you and then felt she had to 'bury' the evidence.

As for getting the images out of your head - you could use the thought stopping techniques advocated here for people who obsess about their partner having affairs. The most popular one is that you visualise a STOP sign every time the image pops into your mind. Alternatively you could put a rubber band around your wrist and flick it every time you think about the photos.

Loosen up. Help let your wife know you approve of her and her choices - you might be in for a pleasant surprise.
