Well flatline is where you don't have an erection and you cannot get one on your own even if your life depended on it. You get frustrated and disappointed but you must move on forward. That is what I do, I get a flatline and move on. Don't try to fight it, just let it take its course. I tend to think it as positive because then I have no urges and makes my journey a lot easier
@w95chris is the flatline usually just characterized by absence of erections? I am able to get an erection without any touching of my penis if I drift off into a fantasy about one of my crushes (the fantasy is quite PG relative to porn inspired fantasy). So I am wondering if maybe I am out of the flatline? Currently at 121 days hardmode. However, I've seen posts where people say they feel things like a 'volcano' of libido when they were out of the flatline and I haven't experienced that at all, which makes me wonder if I still have one foot in the flatline.
My flatline comes and goes. It seems to come more after sex. If I don't O for a week im good to go for sex and horny. The next night I'm good to go again although less horny and less desire. Third night in a row, it's a chore and I am not in the mood. 4th night no desire no libido and like this for another week.
