Hey there folks, I posted earlier in other thread of this forum. But this time I'm dealing now with a situation. It's been 10 days now. The problem is my libido is completely gone, morning boner is either gone or ridiculously soft. Boners during the day are gone. Nothing excites, and I have zero will to have sex, watch porn or masturbate. Absolutely zero. No sexual desire. Now that worries me. Any advise ?
I took the evaluation test and got most of the A and B answers apart from one C where it asks about the age when started watching porn. How scientifically proven is the flatline occurrence?
Seems like your addiction isn't too bad. Mild according to your results. Try quitting for a month see how you feel. Pornography is a modern phenomenon, so our generation is the first to be exposed to it. Therefore, there isn't any big scientific studies done yet. As of now, its mostly speculations, correlations, theories, and a lot of first hand experience. I don't know a single No Fapper who didn't go through a flatline. It does exist, and is not a placebo. Its your brain undergoing rewiring. Hence your drop in libido. Mateo
Makes total sense, Mateo. I'm now on day 10 and determined to quit completely, as it is evil and it ruins life and pleasure.
I didn't go through a flatline. My libido got low sometimes, but I never thought "Wow, it's gone completely!". Erections vary. It's more noticeable when the opposite is happening and you're getting a lot of them. I got withdrawals like mood swings and very high libido all right. The term "flatline" wasn't helpful for me. Maybe I'm wired a bit differently to most (ADHD maybe?).
Because I lost erection during sex with my wife it made me feel absolutely awful and I think my brain goes into defense mechanism by withdrawing me from having libido in order IF the sex will begin I won't lose erection and therefore will not experience awful feeling again. That's my theory in this case.
I haven't noticed mood swings yet OR a desire to take a look at porn or sexy pictures of girls in bikini or anything like that. But yet again I'm very new to this.
