Moving beyond the flatline?

    Hi guys, for the last week or two I am pretty sure I've been going through a flatline, I've found it very easy to just ignore urges as they have been very weak, but now in the past few days I can feel them returning and they seem to be increasing in intensity with each passing day. I was *this* close to relapsing yetserday but didnt and honestly I dont think I'm actually going to, if I could endure through a week of non-stop wet dreams I can endure through this, but either way it seems the urges are changing. I no longer seem to be desiring porn, I'm desiring actual sex, I'm no longer lusting after fantasy but reality. I just wish it wasnt so tough right now, I dont have any sexual outlet or even anyone to be intimate with in any way (sexual or otherwise), and honestly I dont see that changing anytime soon. I do my exercises, I keep to my work/hobbies, I keep my mind as clear of temptation as possible, but I think this is one of those times where my natural male desires are taking over and honestly I can only see it getting worse before it gets better.

  2. You're having a natural reboot. This happens to us all. Flatline, then sexual urges increase. Your brain is rewiring itself and remembering it likes natural sexual attraction.

    Yes it will get worse as the porn urges come back but stick with it. It's just the addict-brain trying to get you to relapse. Fight it, subdue the urge and move forward. You're doing good. Stay the course.
