If you're on flatline for months, chances are you have low testosterone

EH, I've been into bodybuilding and stuff for around 7 years now. I've researched the crap out of so called "testosterone tests", and come to find out, doctors can't really give you an accurate idea of "low test". We know that mens test lowers with age, so doctors will use this ploy to be able to prescribe test to patients who want it. I wouldn't buy into any tests or anything. Young men who are in their 20's do not need to worry about low test. Just stop fapping, and if you remain in flatline for 2 years, it could just be in your head or you have some type of disorder. OP I get what you're saying and i'm not trying to call you out, Just my 2 cents. Anyways, just stop fapping everyone and your test and sex drive should eventually become natural again

 

I am here for the same reason that 99.9% of everybody else is... because I am addicted to porn and or masturbation and orgasm... I am here because I need someones shoulder to lean on as its very difficult to even discuss this with friends or family.. but thanks for your ignorance and arrogance. hearing that there is just something wrong with me and I need pills is a real help

 

the first 7 words of your post makes you undeserving of even having an account on nofap

 

I’ve seen many men on here that have had their levels tested and they’re all normal. And many have been in flatline for many months. It all seems to be a lot more dependent on how much damage they’ve done to themselves based on the length and intensity of their addiction rather than their natural test levels. Your one-size-fits-all mentality is the only thing that’s ignorant here. Also, keep the arrogance at a minimum, will ya?

 

What a world we live in where we feel the need to measure our hormones to figure out if we are man enough.

 

I'm in flatline for 18 months. Im 28 years old and I know a lot about testosterone than you do.
I get tested for free testosterone and total testosterone every 3 months.

I always get total testosterone of about 800.
And free testosterone of about 25 . Which is way higher than normal and I'm still in flatline for 1.5 years.

The thing you don't understand is that pmo addiction is all about dopamine and dopamine receptors.
Dopamine and testosterone are complimentary _ means_ higher the dopamine higher the testosterone.
So no matter how high your testosterone is, if you don't have enough dopamine to compliment it then it's useless.

So flatline is all about no motivation and lethargy which are directly linked to low dopamine.
If you don't have Morning wood or nocturnal erection then you have low testosterone which I don't think anyone has here.

 

You can have very high testosterone, but it does not matter if your dopamine production is non-existent

 

800 testosterone? That's great. How is your lifestyle / diet?

 

I take zinc supplement,
Fish oil
Multivitamin
Protein shake all of these for. 1month.
And then I take a break for 2 weeks and then repeat for 1 month.

I do 30 minutes of cardio and 10 minutes of weight lifting everyday.

 

I’d suggest you stop making completely uneducated remarks until you have the credentials to back them up. You clearly know nothing about PAWS or the rebooting process. And your negativity and arrogance is not helping anyone on this forum.

 

I figure you're here to troll but [citation needed]. Where is the proof that the body "becomes asexual"? Do you know what "asexual" really means or implies?

 

Many things can affect levels of testosterone. Stress and illness are the two biggest reasons why someone would have low sex hormones. This is because when it feels threatened, the body will actually shut down the repdroductive systems so as to redirect its energy towards what it feels is more important than sex (such as recovery in case of illness, or fighting/escaping in case of severe chronic stress).

Having low levels of testosterone does not necessarily mean your libido is dead.

I also completely disagree with the statement that masturbation causes levels of testosterone to rise. In the short term, maybe, long term, not so much.

 

Let's say i check my testosterone and it's low.
Then what?

 

Then you change your lifestyle and diet to get a better sense of well-being

 

Already doing that, does the diet influence the testosterone levels so much?

 

Absolutely. A diet low on fat (I was on a low-fat diet 4-5 years ago and I really felt like shit), low on vitamin d or zinc can lower your testosterone.
