    Hey guys,

    So from around day 14 til now my overall performance and well being had really skyrocketed.. I was learning new skills much faster, had taken up new hobbies.. Had great sex with my partner, lost weight etc..

    And for the last few days I've felt like complete garbage.. Sluggish, lethargic, dead dick.. Always opting for instant- over delayed gratification...

    The other night I woke up and was horny as hell but my partner had her period.. we fooled around for a bit while I jerked off..

    I don't think that technically counts as MO, as It may have been at my own hand but it was still an experience I was having with my partner and it could have very easily been hers...

    I had started to feel shitty before that, but of course I still worried that I had reset and had lost all I'd been building for the last 40 days..

    I hope the energy comes back again soon!

    From my perspective that doesn’t count. MO is when you’re alone and either jerking it to fantasies or, worse, images or clips on a screen. If you’re with a girl then it is not MO, as you’re engaging in sexual activity with her. Be thankful though that you’re only feeling lethargic and sluggish. On my last streak flatline was hell for me. Not only was I extremely lethargic and had low libido but I had nasty physical withdrawal symptoms including muscle aches and bad stomach issues (which I’m still dealing with a little bit even now). Just give it time and it will pass. And don’t worry about what you do with your partner. Just stay away from actual PMO and you’ll be good. Keep pushing forward.

    Look, I'm on approx day 86 and have been on a Flatline since day 43 or so. Dead dick, no libido, no arousal, nothing.. I do npt feel anything. No porn urges, no masturbation. etc. My penis is shriveled and small that I feel like its gone. From day 10 until like 40 it was great. it was big. I felt that I was making progress. Now it is just a waiting game. Hopefully I get out of this soon. Best of luck.

    Yeah, something I noticed in the honeymoon phase of my nofap experience was my dick was hanging a lot bigger...

    Sure, it's only a cosmetic/ aesthetic thing but it was nice little ego booster he he...

    Now it's shrivelled, numb, pathetic..

    I do know it will pass.. it's like my body is holding up a "under repair, please do not touch" sign and I just need to respect its suggestion.

    Doesn't make it easier, though.

    Did you find that before day 43 you were feeling physically/ emotionally better and the flatline came with brain fog/ no motivation?

    I'm interested to know if these are separate things or are they intertwined..

    I did feel better. I felt stronger. Mind was clearer.

    Now, not so much. Feel tired. Not as clear in mind as in day 10 to day 40.

    However, I feel no urge to watch porn or masturbate at all. However, also no desire for sex for which my wife is not happy. Also, can't even get an erection. At least before I used to get an erection and then it would go away... not so much right now. But I know it is part of the process.

    However, if by December I have not healed myself then...... not sure what is going to happen.

    December seems like a very conservative deadline..

    I'd be very surprised if It took that long, but i think that's a good thing.. It shows you're committed to getting better!

    I spoke to a friend recently, and he said that he pushed through he dead dick and ended up having fantastic sex with his SO and has felt better since..

    If you're anything like me the idea of pushing through this feels so wrong.. but maybe it's worth trying? As an experiment?

    As long as I don’t develop blue balls I’m willing to wait as long as needed.
