Hey guys, I'm on day 19 and I'm feeling pretty down. I felt the surge there after the first few days it was awesome. I wanted to talk to every attractive girl I saw and I was having no problem getting hard with girls when I tried to hookup with them. I was pretty horny and life was good but now I'm just feeling pretty depressed and I don't really want to do anything. I've almost developed some kind of anxiety when it comes to girls and I'm really tired all of the time. I have no sex drive at all and I was a heavy porn user in my past. I've had sex with over 20 girls and I'm starting to get over my HOCD which was my main reasoning behind nofap. Am I in a flatline? I couldn't get hard right now if I tried unless I was masturbating only because I did earlier to make sure I still could. Does anyone have any advice? Or how long this will last?
My advice is man up soldier and maintain your discipline.. and also you don't have to have sex in order to be cool. SMH Haha, but for real though don't give up
Hi! Flatline is a term used on the website to refer to a period of time where the sex drive is nonexistent. Well, not nonexistent, but just very low. When it happened to me, I didn't feel like I wanted to PMO at all, which was nice. However, you have to be careful to not think, "I wonder if I'm ok," and then proceed to relapse. It passes after a while, for some people it comes and goes, and it can last anywhere from a few days to much longer. It is just part of the healing process. Hope that helps.
Basically the flatline is part of the healing process as mentioned above. Your body is not getting that dopamine hit and your libido drops off dramatically. It usually lasts between 1-3 weeks. Absolutely brutal experience. Had one for 13 days. Never felt so bad in my life.
