I actually prefer being in a flat line. Does anyone else feel this way?

    I have went back in to a flat line after a stupidly crazy 4 day PMO binge. That 4 day PMO binge isn't usual behaviour for me. Basically I was out heavily partying on the Tuesday and there was a lot of drama, and lot of things for me to be worried about, and it somewhat caused be to go in to a PMO binge for 4 days.

    But now 2 days on I am in a flat line. I feel like I have no sex drive and even porn doesn't interest me. The strange ting is though I feel really good mentally. I just feel like I have less anxiety and depression ext. I feel calmer. This is something I have noticed when I go in to a flat line, basically all that happens is I lose my sex drive, but I actually feel better mentally. This is the way I feel right now, and I have to I would want to feel this way for a long period of time. I feel better mentally and I have no desire what so ever to look at porn or masturbate. The problem is this feeling usually doesn't last long. I would estimate within about the next 3-4 days I will be hit with an extreme sexual urge, and my mental health usually always takes a turn for the worst.

    Like you know how guys go on about super powers? Well I usually always feel really great for the first few days after I have relapsed, but then like a week later my mental health actually begins to go bad, and I am hit with all the agitation, anxiety, ocd and depression.

    I am just wondering if anyone else experiences what I am describing?

    Yes - I experience what you are describing.

    The deal for me is that the problem isn't so much the porn itself, it's my deep urge for porn. It's the mental compulsion/obsession for porn combined with my inability to stop myself and the shame I feel afterward for being weak.

    When I have no urge, I have no problem. And for me the way to get rid of the urge temporarily is to orgasm.

    When I have the urge, however, then I have a problem. And then the anxieties and worries and fears all pile up again. To make matters worse, the solution isn't simply to just jerk off as soon as a I feel the urge.

    Hopefully that helps. I'm at day 1, so I don't think any advice I could give would even be helpful. Just know that we are in the same boat.
