    Been rebooting since end of January with no porn use in 5 months and only relapsed a 5 times spaced very far apart. Almost no masturbation and still no morning wood and very few random erections. Have tried rewiring with woman by kissing and fooling around but still cant penetrate unless i were to masturbate to hardness. Any one else here dealing with a very long flatline like this? Are you doing any supplements to increase your libido or just staying patient hoping it will increase on its own?
     
  2. couple questions, what is your diet like, are you exercising, describe your lifestyle, are you stressing before sex?.

    I eat a very testosterone-friendly paleo diet of lots of leafy green vegetables, good amount of protein, and I drink coffee every morning. I also drink green tea and eat foods high in l-citrulline like watermelon. I work out 3-4 days a week, weightlifting and cardio. I'm definitely a little anxious before sex, but the last partner I had I told her about my problem to lessen the anxiety.

    Wow dude I'm sorry it's been so long for you. Did you masturbate compulsively to porn? Going to a urologist in my experience was a waste of time. They pretty much just tell you it's all in your head and/or give you boner pills. I am going shopping for new supplements to help aid my recovery and keep doing the other things I'm doing too. I wish you luck in your reboot though, dude.

    Same here dude, 220 days in to nofap, the 4 relapses I've had have literally been a peek at a picture or rwasing a sex story, not even porn!
    I managed to have sex 117 days in and continued but every time I orgasm, flatline.
    Now my libido is none existent and I have full blown ED once again...
     
  7. Younger guys, who started with High Speed Internet Porn in early adolescence or even earlier, before ever having sex, can have very long flatlines. And they are more likely to get knocked back into a flatline by orgasm. There are many guys like you guys. There is information here and at https://www.yourbrainonporn.com regarding this. There are also some threads on http://yourbrainrebalanced.com regarding this.

    There's still no explanation as to why I was knocked into flatline after a masturbation session. Everywhere I go, I ask and can't find an answer. Is it because of lack of scientific research on orgasms knocking people into a flatline?

    I didn't get flatline by abstaining from masturbating or porn, I literally masturbated to porn one day and then my dick started to show signs of lifelessness. Prior to that session, I was edging heavily.

    Please tell me this is porn induced.
     
  9. Yes, there is little to no research on NoFap and flatline. I'm believing there is none specifically on flatline. You might find more on http://yourbrainonporn.com - any science that exists would be there, as well summaries of many reboot stories.

    I don't have certain answers to your questions except:

    Edging is very, very bad - probably worse than PMO. It does more damage because it lasts longer. (See here: Edging is worse for you than M to O.)

    I'm pretty sure this is porn induced. Get rid of the porn.

    Thank you. I also do very rarely get semi erections around 'attractive people', if I interact with them in a platonic way simply by talking. I had it happen earlier this week and some precum leaked. Is this still normal to happen for someone with PIED?
     
  11. When I had PIED, I doubt if simple non-sexual conversation with anybody, no matter how attractive, could have caused that reaction in me. I say this because at that point, even beautiful, naked women sucking my dick did nothing at all.

    BUT "Erectile Dysfunction" can cover a lot of ground. I'm not sure I can say what is "normal".

    I would say that your scenario seems uncommon. ( I might be all wet.) But that doesn't invalidate the idea that you (we, all of us here) need to avoid porn. Especially edging - that's both a symptom and a cause of issues.

    Separately, regarding your previous question, there is a place to search scientific research, called PubMed: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/

    Searching on flatline brought up some hits, none of them relevant. Searching on NoFap had zero hits.

    It appears that the answers are here, and other similar and related places* - or they are yet to be found. (Maybe there is research underway, somewhere.) The NoFap and not using porn communities are apparently the tip of the spear.

    * These would include:

    https://www.yourbrainonporn.com/

    https://yourbrainrebalanced.com/forum/index.php

    http://www.rebootnation.org/forum/index.php

    And I'm probably leaving some out.
