Different Stages of Flatline - What is flatline

certainly your mindset is not the strongest, you shouldn't "fight nor resist" the urge, they are natural, what you should do is channel/transmute that into your work/job, a meaningful activity, gym, hobbies, relationships with women etc
At this point in my reboot I can safely say porn is dead for me, I could just MO (masturbate+orgasm) without watching any porn and I would be fine, it doesn't even cross your mind once you go through an extreme flatline like I did, it changes you from the core out

 

Two years... WoW! This is due to relapses or now getting better after long streaks...

 

Length of your addiction?

 

Can I ask a question? Do PMO induced flatlines affect nighttime erections? I get no nighttime erections...ever! Dick is always small. But I had a spontaneous semi erection back in 2017 (after my PMO induced e.d. started). So is this all par for the course of a typical flatline symptom?

 

from childhood until 20 years (over 10 years)

 

I just had 4 relapses in the first year, after that, no relapses cause my libido was literally below zero (it's still too low)

 

yes, absence of nocturnal erections and morning woods are common symptoms of th flatline

 

Ok
Is your streak hardmode or?
Do you feel completely rebooted?

 

I had no idea that even lack of nocturnal erections at night were a symptom of flatline. I knew about no morning wood though!

 

Feel like now starting sixth month like others have said libido starts to slowly come back for severe cases. I am one of those too. Constantly edged the last six years but nocturnal wood is there and morning but no spontaneous ones yet.. I know it could take up to eight months to actually see some real improvement on PIED as well...

 

hardmode

 

eliminate porn completely bro

 

I never experienced a Withdrawal Flatline Phase but I'm in a Coasting Flatline Phase. Started a couple months ago but I don't know why. Mentally I feel great and I'm so glad to be on nofap for all this time and hopefully will keep my streak for as long as I live. However, I lost my libido (about couple of months ago). No random erections, no sexual thoughts, no urges to edge, no strong attraction to girls etc.

Has anyone also experienced this and will I get my libido back? I did a blood test and my testosterone levels came back as normal. I even tried testosterone boosters to increase my libido but they didn't work. I find this whole situations very odd and really want to get to the bottom of this and am eager to chat with anyone about this either on this thread or privately.

 

bro.. this is indeed a flatline, the difference is that yours is just sexual, at least you have energy, if you can work out I will recommend you do so. I also did blood test, in one ocassion my testosterone was 762 ng/dl, high as fuck (they repeated twice) and I was like you, so stick it out, like they said, it's a dopamine/energetic thing, nobody understands the flatline 100%

 

Like Gary wilson once said, a minimum of testosterone is already enough to give men a working libido, like 150 or 200 ng/dl, it's mostly a dopamine mechanism as well, think about when you were kid and you had erections and you would jerk off a lot, at this point in your life (childhood) your testosterone is that of a woman, and still your dick and libido worked perfectly
our sexuality is more complex than just testosterone levels

 

hey guys,

very glad to hear i’m not the only one who experiences very long, but low key (phase 2) flatlines.

 

i keep worrying i have some sort of hormone or hormone sensitivity issue but i had my T pulled last year and it was like 900 something.

 

• Flatlining: Many NoFap® users report one or more periods of zero libido during their streak, especially in the 2-6 week period. Transitioning from an overexcited, always-eager libido to none at all can be disconcerting and even scary for the experienced masturbator, but many Fapstronauts report that it is only a phase in the reboot and will pass.

 

it's either that or/and the dopamine sensitivity /recalibration as well, so even if your testosterone were over 1000 ng/dl it wouldn't make any difference if the receptors for it were saturated

 

what do you mean by saturated?
