    There are people that have induced themselves into a flatline after masturbation to porn. Anyone else feel the same?

    We call it flatline. It's shorter.

    That's true. Do you believe that porn can induce a flatline though?

    Absolutely. You get so densitizied to any other type of arousal.

    Actually I'd rather reword my question. Do you think masturbation to porn can suddenly induce a flatline like within a few days after edging and then climaxing?

    If you don't mind me asking, how'd it happen? No pressure.

    I relapsed and probably MOed about 8 times in 4 days. I couldn't stop the chaser effect. I was flat a good 3 weeks or more.

    I suppose you recovered obviously by abstaining from PMO? I haven't been able to abstain...

    I see. Probably why and how I literally fapped and like the next 2-3 days I got flatlining symptoms.

    The thing is, I never see journals about this particular issue.

    PMO free now for 25 days since. My desire is totally gone. The erections I get though are as hard as granite and last a long time.
     
  14. I don't know how porn can induce a flatline. It brings you out of one but not in one. Let's just keep it at flatline

    There are some theories that the flatline is from porn-induced brain changes, meaning when you stop looking at porn the flatline is an indicator that your brain has undergone 'damage' from porn and that's how it heals yourself.

    There are people that literally fapped themselves into a flatline on RebootNation. And there's someone in this topic who had that issue as well.

    In what circumstance(s) do you get erections if your desire is totally gone, if you don't mind me asking?

    This matches my experience quite well. I was still able to get and maintain perfect erections about until about 1.5 weeks after stopping porn, then I just crashed into flatline. It's scary as hell because I've never had this issue before and like you say, there is not much reassurance about when it will go away as the medical community are still not up to speed in this area.

    I may get aroused and have an erection but there is no desire to finish the act per se

    I wish I could get aroused and get MW.
