    I can't seem to find a strong and consistent libido. at 230 days of no porn, the benefits have seemed to plateau. perhaps it's a pyschological thing when you first set out to achieve 90 days. you become more confident, girls notice you more, you start craving a relationship etc. all that has kinda dissipated over this long period of time. I've sent myself into flatline a few times from masturbation binges. and my libidio doesn't seem to want to stay at a consistent high.

    there will be times when I feel amazing. overwhelming confidence, deriving from high libidio and not giving a f*ck. and as soon as I jerk off once it all disappears instantly. idk, but masturbating once every week or two shouldn't be messing up my libido that much. I've also started working out at the gym (about 3 weeks ago) to try to kick start it. I'm kinda getting frustrated. I feel bland. my heads been cloudy again too. this is without any porn!

    Maybe the masturbation is the problem also? How long have you gone with no masturbation?
    Maybe the problem with your libido is not related to pmo and you need to search elsewhere. Don't get me wrong-it is great to get away from porn but maybe there is something else you can do?

    I gone 7 days without MO. usually at about 7 days I get urges and it's been a perpetual cycle. my mo streak is nowhere near my porn one.

    Are you jerking off to porn fantasy or sensation alone. Porn fantasy can be just as bad for your brain. If you need to MO then do it only to sensation. Some people have reported the same effects of MO using fantasy as with porn.

    lidido arousal is far different then that of a porn addiction (dopamine) arousal.

    right. so I suppose that's the reason why my no porn success hasn't helped so much in this department.

    a little bit of both. fantasy has sent me into flatline before. so I've tried avoid it and just focus on sensation. but after the fact I feel drained, less motivated, less creative, and low libido amongst other things.

    Give up the masturbation. See if it helps.
