Pretty sure my sex drive is dead(vent)

Discussion in 'Rebooting - Porn Addiction Recovery' started by sfmark12, Jun 15, 2018.

  1. I don't remember the last time I was horny. I've been rebooting for a while now, and I feel like I overcame this addiction. I haven't looked at porn since September 2017. My counter is how long I've abstain from masturbation. Along those days I just do not feel a drive for sex. At work I see beautiful woman(I work at a convenience store) here and there. I admire them but my drive to actually pursue one is just gone. I was just thinking about this a couple of days ago and Im afraid if I have turned asexual lol. I mean who knows. Just my thoughts about my dead sex drive. Wonder if anyone feels the same as well?

  2. Maybe it is the flatline or you are still recovering

    I was totally asexual for 180 days during 'hard mode', zero lust. Now I'm back on compulsive binge PMO streak, like half year of rebooting never happened. I still have zero lust, just crave for numbness and PMO is the way to get it.
     
  4. So it came back pretty much but in the worse ways

    This is normal. When the porn addict's brain is no longer wired to be hyper-sexualised by watching porn then he experiences normal libido, which instead of being tied to the chemicals in his brain, is tied to his fertility.

    So if you're still asexual and have zero libido after long streaks of Nofap, it's a fertility problem? :( I have had some long streaks and only had a few relapses this past year, but still.....ZERO libido or erections =\
     
  7. Yeah, just thinking about it can be quite depressing, but if it's gonna be like this I wouldn't mind. Being on NoFap is 100x better than pmoing everyday.

  8. Just wanna give a small update here. This dead sex drive has been going for so long I'm just gonna stop thinking about it today. I'm gonna ride out the flat line as long as it takes even if it means eternity. And will focus more on important matters. Like habits that I want to have instead of thinking about it. I'm gonna let time finally do it's job for once, and time will tell me when it's time to have a maximum sex drive.

    i was about to tell you that.. the longer your abstain the better it is for your recovery always measure your nofap life against your porn influences life
    i will call it nfl versus pil
    if NFL > PIL then you have successfully completed your treatment and if its not then no you are still in progress.
    are there ways to fasten your progress?
    Sure there are, eating healthy exercising shifting your whole life and use that sexual energy to something good then yes you will rehab much quicker than someone who is still eating fast food and no exercise just abstaining.. the body needs much building nutriernts.
    If the chance presented itself to have sex should i do it during my NoFap journey?
    I would not recommend ever having intercourse until finishing your journey i would say it should take a year or 2 , but that's just me and i might be wrong but its better to be careful and planning than to be reckless and waste all these moments of relapsing :)
     
  10. Yeah I exercise and eat right. Still nothing but again it's better than relapsing.

    Depending on how long and how deep your addiction was will depend on how long your recovery will take. You probably just need more time. I'm no expert tho

    Bro during my recovery I also thought my libido was dead and then when I found a girl I really liked it just worked. I think you need to be brave and take the leap and ask a girl out and try and make something happen. I think it will surprise you!

  14. How did you get it back?
     
  15. It just came back out of nowhere. Was working one day and it kicks in started feeling crazy horny just making eye contact with a girl. I just kept doing good things and improving my life I forgot about worrying about my sex drive. And it was just there. I guess the lesson is while you're rebooting focus on improving you. And it will just come along when you least expect it. And the fact that it is still there no need to 'test it by edging or watching porn'
