Well, I can get intimate and touch, kiss but start thinking about the boner because of flatline. I have to learn not to think about it so much I guess the reason.
Ugh! That is the same with me right now. It’s been four months and morning wood here and there but flatline still and libido still isn’t there. Trying to get better sleep. I hear you about the anxiety. Mine is going down too but will take a bit longer as well I am sure. I’m thinking a good six months as well.
I think I have finally entered flatline also. No sex drive at all. No desire to look at P either for horny reasons, but have had temptations to escape life to look but haven’t still. I disagree about the recovery time, some people that started young, like me, and did it for over 15 years daily, and used it to escape life, will take a lot longer than some guy who occasionally looked at P.
So what about dopamine? Does it look like dopamine with different chemistry in the brain is present in different levels cause of withdrawals? I have read the first few posts from this thread and I doubted. I’m on 331 day and I still have problems with motivation, anxiety, clear thinking, focus etc. I don’t know if problems with clear thinking and concentration are normal. Sometimes I have the impression that I used to think more clearly, despite pmo. I wonder if I do not have any dopamine deficiencies. On the other hand, since the begin of reboot I drink coffee every day. I can not wake up without it. I’m addicted to it. Perhaps I have replaced one addiction with another.
Bro just because you can’t stick to program doesn’t mean you have to bring your hate to the forum.You could simply just leave. Thank you
You’ve most likely been taking shortcuts and edging or are flat out lying to yourself. Stimulants like coffee will have you feel how you described. So it’s not a perhaps it’s definite. You don’t just reboot from porn n get superpowers gotta reboot your life
Take it from me, after 8 years of experimenting with porn, no porn, porn is really messing us up. Look into deltafosB if you need more conviction. If you watch porn for years and then stop, there’s deltafosB that has created these pathways. It takes 6-8 weeks for these to start letting go, and even longer for them to really go away forever. This means you may be able to hold from porn for 2 months but if you relapse, you fire those delatfosb pathways again and they’re essentially brand new again meaning you’ll be f****** again at some point.
