Im around 73 days into Nofap , I am in a flatline since around day 24 , I have zero libido , no motivation , tiredness, mind fogg. I almost everyday get 100% morning wood But when I watch a hot clip on youtube or a sexy scene in any movie , I dont get hard at all. I feel nothing. But I noticed something which I dont remember I ever felt since I was a teen, I get a little feeling in my head like I want to touch women now, I just dont want to have sex with them But I want to touch their arms, bodies, legs and make love to them. Although its just a thought in my head, but I never felt these type of thoughts since my teenage years. I guess its my normal libido returning back and when I lay in bed I get around 80 % erections just by thinking about sex without touching myself. So am I improving? return of normal libido?
Certainly you are improving , dont give up hang in there. Yes, it is your natural libido coming up now because you have a desire to touch women, its your dopamine receptors slowly getting sensitized to what god created you to be , to have real sex with a woman. You have to give it time though, you are going in right direction just give it some time and you will see you will achieve fantastic results and a 100 % return of your libido.
for me normal libido doesn't exist. the only way I conceive it is completely limitless libido. I go from 0 to 100 like a car to give you an idea. If I start there is no way back. It is a flame I am destroying it everytime that wants to re-appear in my life. but if you feel in control if your libido that's good for you. In my recovery I am avoiding completely movies with explicit sex. I can still bear watching normal movies with sex in it like romantic ones and not feeling the need to watch porn or act out with sex but I have to be very careful, as a general rule
You are a female, but im a male, we have to do the workd LOL i also had ED PIED because of pmo, so My libido will return slowly It will take time for me to completely heal and get back my libido
I understood your situation. Yeah women work differently If I was a man I wouldnt feel so bad abut my sex and porn addiction. Plus they would be perceived by the others like I am cool guy not what some guys I had feelings for thought of my behaviour even if I tried to get normal. I told my secret to one in order to be helped and he made jokes about it. To another one I never told him even if I wanted to but I was afraid of his reaction. I'm sure he thought my sexual behaviour wasnt in the norm
Yup, my sexual tastes all started changing greatly after a couple months in. This is your normal, innate sexuality coming back to replace the desensitized porn-sexuality. Keep in mind that porn conditioning is still around though and you don't want to reactivate old porn pathways in anyway.
I agree . Your libido will slowly come back and withdrawal symptoms will go away slowly. Just hang in there. Let the brain re-wire. The more you resist, the more stronger your will power will become , the more you give in the weaker your will power will become and the healing will get slower. Just hang in there and let the urges come its normal, dont give in.
Definitely I can relate and understand what the OP is going through. At least you have partial libido and bits of hope in your period of flatline. This means you will reboot and rewire much faster. It is better to heal gradually as opposed to night and day flip switch kind of recovery that I went through with my flatline. You don’t want to be one day nothing and then suddenly the next day in the afternoon you get this immediate flush of intensity where you have no place to release and unleash that has been bottled up for so long. I had to resort to extremes to keep my returning libido in check so I wouldn’t have to resort and return to relapsing. Also you don’t want women to be attracted to you during your flatline period. It is depressing as every encounter becomes a friend zone.
