No progress after 90 days. Am I in a flatline?

    So you were actually farther in your reboot than I am now (I’m on day 45). I would go for it without problems if I were that far (or probably just a bit more). In my last reboot I felt ready for sex (even though I ended up relapsing before trying) about 110-120 days in, but that’s still more than a couple of months from now.

    I think I’ll try to stretch it a bit to gain some time (we both have busy schedules, so we don’t see each other more than once a week now) and just see what happens when the time comes. This may gain me a few weeks, but not much.

    Ohh I thought you were at 90 days and having this flatline. Then relax man you’ll be alright. Even if you were at 90 days I would still try to connect with another person and try to get excited with her.
    When I was at day 45 I was having some erections from time to time but nothing crazy.
    It’s understandable that when we use porn so much, we get an idea that we should be horny all the time and erections are easy to get. In reality they simply show up when we have something in front of us to get excited about.
    If you see this girl from time to time then it’s perfect. Go meet up with her and make your objective to relax with her and have a good time. Dont focus on having erections or sex because it will screw up your relationship and interaction with her. Just see what happens.
    If you’re interested in her just try to see her as soon as possible. She will help you recover if you’re clear about your problem. She will appreciate your effort.
    If. You don’t feel ready yet just wait a little longer.
    These are just some thoughts man
    Wish you the best! Good luck!

    Ok, I think I fucked up. I relapsed to masturbation. A few times over the last 4-5 days. Did not watch any porn, though, nor did I have any craving for porn.

    I hope I haven’t lost too much of my progress. The good thing is that masturbating initially got me out of the “flatline” feeling: I felt I could be easily aroused even by the mere thought of sex. Hope I didn’t masturbate to the point of throwing myself far back into flatline.

    I will stay away from masturbation. The takeaway, though, is that I probably just need to try sex at some point, even if I am not sure what will happen: I may find myself cured, without even knowing (I may be overly optimistic, but I’ll never know until I try).

    Hey man, masturbation might give you a feeling of failure, you might even feel a little depressed or worried after doing it. Just keep pushing through though, it is not the same as watching porn at all.
    I think trying sex is a good idea. Connecting with someone real is better for the retiring process.
    Wish you the best!

    Let your dick heal itself. No two are the same.
