    I've been on hard no pmo for 20 days now, and from day 1 I had absolutely no trouble, and still don't. I used to pmo 1-2 times a day for many years and the fact it's so easy for me to stop is just weird. I've had pied for years, lost my libido over the years, got all the other classic symptoms of PMO sickness, and yet I barely even think about it now. It's demoralizing cause I wonder if that was my problem to begin with, was really counting on it to be the answer.
    Could I flatline from day 1? Cause that's what it feels like- 0 libido even for porn, no will to M, but the rest is ok more or less (maybe a bit of bad mood, and not much motivation, but nothing severe)

    My first nofap streak was 17 days, and I felt very similar to you, it was very easy. I ended up masturbating without porn and in a new way just to see if I could, and it worked. The next couple days I felt like STRAIGHT SHIT. And since then, for almost three months now, I have failed to match that initial 17 days. I would guess that if you break your streak, then you will have all your libido come back with a roaring rage, and it will be very difficult for you to make it past 3-4 days, possibly for several months. That's my experience, anyway.

    My advice: keep going. Don't edge, either. From what everyone says, 20 days is still not very deep into the rebooting process. See how you feel after 50 days. Trust me man, your libido will come back sometime. Try to enjoy the easiness while it's there. I've been struggling to make it past 3-4 day streaks for two months; my libido is so strong, I can masturbate whenever I want, without porn, in 30 seconds. It sounds glorious, but it makes nofap extremely difficult. You will experience this sooner or later. So I would suggest just try to be content with how you're feeling right now, ride it out, and see how things go.

    Your libio is not gone. This so called flatline has nothing to do(in my opinion) with libido . Did you had a naked girl in front of you and you didnt had the desire to fuck her? - no.
    Your sex power is there dude, but is just not needed. When you fap daily the sex is in your mind daily , every hour, every moment and that is why you think you have libido.....now you are getting a bit on the normality line, meaning you dont think about sex all the time, you dont fap and you are not preocupied by sex all the time.
    I guarantee that when a woman is interested in you sexually, you will feel it. So dont worry about libido if you are single - its stupid.

    day 21! woke up horny for once, and actually drooled over a random facebook pic in the feed before shutting it down with a heavy heart. still no real struggle or desire to PMO, but I like my new found hint of libido. I know it's a trap to relapse, but I"m hanging on to this glimpse of progress. still stressed that it's not really a struggle for me (cause I want it to be the cure, but if it's not difficult then is it really the problem?). anyway, confused as can be but pushing to 90 anyway :)

    Im on day 45 , was hard mode for 39 days, and never had the desire to watch porn at any point. I even found it easy to avoid stimulating images altogether. Its obvious now that Pmo was the cause of my problems.

    Everyone is different i guess

    how do you know it was, if it was that easy?
    thats my fear... that it is so easy for me to go hard mode, that maybe it wasn't the problem... though seems like it does improve my life...

    Youre 34 years old with ED and no libido. You jerk off to porn. Jerking off to porn IS the soure of your problems, and probably the source of every problem in your life
