Discussion in 'Porn Addiction' started by Deleted Account, Jan 11, 2018.

  1. Hey, I've been reading some threads and many of them say something about the flatline and low libido. Can someone explain those terms to me??

    It’s a prolonged period of having almost zero libido that follows the initial burst of horniness and extra energy that comes immediately after you begin NoFap. People can also sometimes feel drained/depressed during it. It usually begins after a couple of weeks, and can last up to a couple of months. This of course varies from person to person, and you will still have ups and downs and periods of arousal during that time, but for the most part your sex drive will be zero. This is normal and expected, and once you’ve fought through it, you’ll find your libido gradually returns to normal.

    What I wonder, post watching your brain on porn is the following.

    Is the period of flatline a one time thing? Or does it come and go periodically?

    As I understand it, flatline is about your brain doing the final reboot process. But after the reboot I guess theres no reason to feel another flatline right? Just need some clarification about it.

    It should be a one time thing. It might come and go a bit before finally disappearing, but once you’re rebooted, provided you don’t slip back into old porn habits, it shouldn’t return. Your libido should remain normal. If you find it coming back, it could be a sign of other, non-porn related problems.
