Flatline started from the first day of my reboot

I am in my 6th day of abstinence and its becoming really easy to me, i think its the flatline, only wood in the morning also, but i dont feel like watching porn, and also having sex with my girlfriend.... that worries me a little... and i thing i should be hapoy because its going easy...

 

Hello,

Please do not think it is easy, or that it will continue being like that, its your brain tricking you, that's the best way to relapse.
Stay vigilant of your thoughts. It is ok that you do not feel like PMO or having intercourse with your girlfriend, but it is not going to remain that way. A lot of people have seen an arousal coming strong after a flatline, with a lot of things being triggers, even looking at girls on instagram, or watching TV. The morning wood means that your brain is having arousal, but subconsciously, it is a matter of time it will reveal itself in your conscious presence.

 

This is really interesting because I've never really had a desire to have sex. But keep in mind, I've also been viewing porn since I was a teen which I think really messed me up. I have sex with the wife, but for some reason I never feel like I want a sex. So could this be a form of flatline even when I was looking at porn. I'm 7 days clean right now.

 

You wrote that you been a porn addict for 11 years. For somebody who has consumed porn for the same amount as time as you, it's normal to experience a flatline really early. You're essentially changing 11 years worth of brain chemistry from porn, and that is actually really good. You're experiencing a flatline. This means you're recovering, making your brain chemistry turn back to normal. It's a sign that you're already healing because just a single day has passed and you've already changed. It's all part of the recovery process. I wish you good luck.

 

It happened to me, took almost 20 days before I got morning wood, and at day (I think I'm at 50 now) deep urges are just now poking out to say hi, but nothing I'm unable to tolerate or handle. I had no signs of ED or PIED or anything negative before I started my first and current streak. I was 14 or so when I found porn and I'm 32 now, so over half my life has been with some form of porn usage, though I will say my tastes have never changed after all these years, unlike a lot of people with long term usage.

Biggest issues I had on my first 10 days or so was just forcing sexual thoughts/fantasies out of my mind, once I did that it's been smooth sailing ever since.


*edit*
Well I guess I'm working on 60 days now, lol I don't really keep track as you can tell.

 

I am on my 12day wo PMO , Im feeling that flatline effect, no libido, had a sex dream as a voyeur and another night a dreaming that I was having sex, no wet dreams, I am getting morning wood in the last few days. Things that are helping me: meditation, cardio, reading a lot about how human brain works, specially the reward systems, also, Im keeping alway from alchool, going to bed early and waking up for a 30mins meditation session. Keep it up ! never give up !
