    Hi. I think dopamine itself will get back to baseline very fast. Maybe 30 minutes, but im only guessing.
    But i believe the main problem is not a dopamine. The problem is decrease in number of dopamine receptors. (DR). While they're overstimulated their number decrease which makes you to seek for more and more intensive stumuli. And of course the less DRs you have the worse you feel. I read it can take more than 3 months to get back to normal level in case of heavy addictions. I dont mean to scare you. Ocasional peek on psubs is not the same as heroin addiction. So this is not your case. All i want to say is the longer you stay from unnatural dopamine stimulation the happier you'll be in general. Take care, buddy

    Ahh man thank you so much for your reply, this is the type of answer i wanted to see - scientific. I keep on slipping and looking at p subs, hopefully i could beat 152 days again. Good luck with you too.

    Im glad you like my reply. You know. I'm something of a scientist myself :D

    Im sure you can beat it. Just focus on something positive and meaningful and let all the urges go.

    When i struggle with temptation i log here and give advices to others :)

    This is not a healthy way of rebooting man. Quit cold turkey. Even a single glimpse of porn is too many.
