This is one crazy flatline - how do we end it?

My counter reads about 130 days since last PM. My flatline began around day 50 and has never left. Up to day 50 I was backed up and raging like none other but ever since I just can't get the libido cooking enough to overcome approach anxiety.

I'm 34. Fapping since 16 for a total of 18 years of fap. I know there are flatline reports out there showing insane durations -- I even saw 2 years of flatline. For my other buddies in their mid 30s, how have your flatline times been?

I did hard mode for a while but now I have sex with ejaculation on average 2-4 times a month. But even that is only with my standby girls who I don't have any true interest in. No inclination to approach, aggressively date etc. Prior to the flatline I was exuding so much sexual energy that a female friend who had friend-zoned me for YEARS sat on my lap and said "so are you really saying we can't go downstairs and have sex right now b/c you don't want to break your ejaculation streak?" And I'm like yep, that's what I'm telling you. It was hilarious.

I take lots of zinc, mag, other trace minerals, l-carnitine, weight lifting, heavy bag work, fish oil, D3, coq10, egg yolks, lots of sleep. My T is over 700 but it doesn't seem to matter.

Anyone found any tricks to break out of this and get back to crushing it? Thanks.

 

Hi thanks for your thoughts here. Regarding the first point, it's not so much I think it will *solve* it, but what I often read in the NoFap community is that the sexual energy helps you push through the butterflies and anxiety feeling that comes on when you want to approach. If you're horny enough, you'll theoretically plow through the anxiety b/c you want to get laid from a given girl so badly. At least that's what many have written in the community and even in other manosphere blogs.

I did see some of that in myself prior to flat lining.

Challenges... I did approach a couple chicks who were working this event in my office building. They were very receptive but I got so nervous that I bailed at like the 30 second mark. They were both legit models though so that was cool. But I do feel stagnant, just plodding through a job that pays very well but that I dislike.

I did try sex without O but I haven't been able to succeed at witholding yet, though I do try and I do exercises to strengthen PV muscle etc. Is twice a month really too many ejaculations? I know I'm kind of old but that feels very infrequent to me.

As I read this it kinda sounds like excuses but that's not the intent, just clarifying the points you mentioned. Thoughts? Thanks again.

 

Sounds like a unique experience.

I'm still not seeing improvements. I did a couple approaches and that was nice but I bailed early each time. Those were more out of boredom than arousal. Hopefully time remains the antidote
