    Little info about me: I'm 20 years old and been pmoing since i was 12. I started NOFAP (Hard) because PMO has been detrimental to my life in every possible way.

    Currently on day 49 (personal record).
    I could continue easily but i feel like my flatline will never end! I want that energy and excitement back like when i was child.
    I do exercise as well 3-5 a week. All im thinking right now is if this even works.. or will this cure my brain? Or how damn long should you wait? If you've been in a flatline and you know about it, please share your thoughts.

    EMBRACE IT!!!!!

    A flatline is better than living a life of PMO'ing. Trust me! Don't go back to this!!!! It's fucking horrible!!
    :(:emoji_sob: Save YOURSELF while YOU CAN!!!!!! Please!! Save yourself! Save yourself so you can life up others!!! This earth needs you!!! BUT DON't do it for us!!! Do it for you :emoji_sob: There's nothing worse than PMO'ing! Just keep going!!! Just keep going!!!


    Try new things, meet new people, explore new places, stimulate your mind! It needs stimulation! Live your life!

    The flatline is telling you that you haven't found your passion in life and that's okay! You're young. I don't care if you are 21, 30, 60, 95, whatever. You are young and you have time...

    Explore the world and find your passion. Find your 'purpose' as they say. The flatline is telling you something. Listen!
     
  5. What a post. What an awesome post of motivation

    Don’t want to scare you but I’m a year and four months in and I’m still flatlining. Only a handful of relapses in that time. Still have wet dreams that trigger the dopamine withdrawal all over again. It sucks but i know hope is on the other side.

    For me it took 200 days untill my dead dick symptons start to fade away, but still suffering from flatline. Somewhat around day 300 I met a girl and had succesful sex, my flatline was still there however I deeply enjoyed the sex.

    Its a difficult question but I think the rewiring process plays a big role, in my case my brain have to get used to getting aroused from real sex io digital fake hardcore stuff.

    Or may be we are overthining about flatline. In your case it could be your lifestyle and not the flatline. For example a healthy and well person living a normal or unhealthy lifestyle will feel like a sh** that doesn't mean he is in a flstline. So think positive my friend it may be so that you're already healed.
     
  10. Are we not rewiring with real women? Is that the issue?

    I agree lifestyle can play a huge part, for me I workout 4-6 times per week, eat lot of fruit and vegetables, no smoke and only drink on special occasions. Im living as healthy as I can.

    I have understood rewiring with real woman is a vital part in the recovery process. Because you need to teach your brain that a womans body is hot and will turn you on. Which is a very different stimulation than high speed internet porn. However I struggle to do this myself because I have no relationship and dating is very diffucult due to lockdown and curfew (fuck u Covid).
    When I met this girl on holiday, we had sex every night and it was great, it was my first sexual experience after 300 days and I was happy that my PIED was recovered, however the 4th night I couldn't get an erection anymore.
    I went back home and for 1 week I had dead dick symptons again, then after it started to fade away again, I also read that too many ejaculations can kick you back and I guess this is true. So even tho my PIED might be (partly) recovered, I still need to be carefull.

    I'm guessing you flatlined after too many ejaculations, like you said. Can masturbation with ejaculations from that knock you into a flatline without sex?

    In my experience you need to unwire first, worry about rewiring later. The body needs a break from all things sex, those who have zero libido and a dead dick aren't suddenly going to spring into life because they're presented with a real woman rather than a 2D one. The body will let you know when its no longer totally broken - though even when this happens you can't go all in and act like nothing has happened, you've got to take it slow and let your body continue to get stronger at a gradual pace.

    Wow.. all my questions and doubts about my recovery answered, you nailed it, thanks man!

    @Anonymous86
    I guess yes, normally the ejaculation kills the erection after all.

    I’m flatlining now for almost 6 months, started at the 22nd of February 2021.
    To not pmo is so fucking easy for me. I live healthy, almost don’t eat sugar, maybe a bit 1 day a week. I go to the gym, don’t smoke etc etc. I’m mentally strong but the flatline makes me crazy. Everyday again and again… I walk behind a hot girl and there is totally no life down there, literally 0%. I’m 24 yours old by the way. Really have no idea how long it’s gonna take…. :(

    How often do you talk to girls?
     
  18. Not entirely sure that too much life should be expected down there when walking behind a hot girl. That could present its own problems if she turned around :) I know what you mean though as I've noticed that girls I see that I would have had a reaction to don't seem to affect me now that I've been attempting this journey for a while. Probably a positive, I must be objectifying them less.

    Do you mean in real life or via the phone?

    I text a couple of days a week with women, but no dirty talk, just casual.

    I’m real life I talk a lot with women, as I live in a student appartement. Even if I find someone sooo hot I don’t feel anything. It’s more like: I know that she is very hot and somewhere I find her very hot. But my body does not find her hot if you understand what I am saying.

    I am still counting since 22th of February and it’s so easy. I don’t look any porn etc and I don’t even think about M(O) when I go to bed. It’s literally 100% dead down there, literally no life at all. I do have some MW’s, but my last random erection was more then 6 months ago.

    Also when I’m getting intimate with some girl, I really don’t feel like having sex. It totally doesn’t feel as a special amazing moment, I’m totally not even looking forward to have sex. It’s interesting for me to fix a girl etc, until the moment we get in the bedroom, then it’s just like “uhhmmmm oké let’s do it.” But I’m totally not enjoying it. (And I only get it up with Cenforce 200mg, that shit is the best Ed drugs there is.)

    I have pretty similar timeline as you, and not to PMO has not been an issue. I have not looked back since April 2021 and don't intend to. I did O through my wife, but that also I stopped, including thinking about sex ( all fantasy since August 2021 ). However, the flatline just doesn't end. Like I feel like doing nothing with my wife, who I know is beautiful. Not sure how long this is going to happen - although its more so I can have a normal sex life, rather than a fear of relapse.
