5 months without porn still no libido

Discussion in 'Rebooting - Porn Addiction Recovery' started by Deleted Account, Nov 12, 2019.

  1. I’m feeling very depressed and feeling like I’ll never get out of this flatline. I can barely get an erection and I feel so broken. Can anyone help me

    What I have discovered during my way too long road to recovery is that you can't rush things. Just go with a flow. Be patient. You're only 22. You have all the life ahead of you. I kindda envy you that you have realized you have a problem and found your way to this forum so early. That's a great. Be happy and grateful for it. Don't worry about long flatline, it's totally normal. Your libido will return. Focus on taking life improving steps instead of counting the days, weeks, months. As long as you keep walking on the path to recovery, you'll conquer "the mountain top" eventually, don't worry about it. Just try focusing on the path to the top in a meanwhile. It is the path that will transform your life for the better, not the final destination.

  5. Here's what I'm confused about , NoFap in my mind is to make real.sex and sex drive towards women stronger , fapping seems to fuck up sex drive after a long time , so stopping porn and going through flatline in my mind is to resensitise your brain and thoughts , if the purpose is just to abstain for the sole purpose of.hitting streaks , i think someone is missing the point , you want to resensitise your brain to reality, especially if you get pied , so the flatline is an interesting part of NoFap.,.are you actually resensitising. Is there any data on long-term NoFap taking up to 2 years to resensitise you

    life is so much more than just smashing the girlfriend. Try to use your energy somewhere else.

  10. You might need to take a break from sex as well.
    Try strengthening your emotional relationship with her instead.

  11. I've found abstaining for awhile makes a big fucking difference, so long-term is what's needed, when I abstain I automatically lose interest in fetishes , which is clear to me now it's all just escalation that has eventually taken place, pretty fucked up really, feels good to.be able to see that , that said you can still potentially escalate again if relapse , for prolonged periods , it's good NoFap has become a thing , even though now a short break has made such a difference, and I'm looking at fetishes and thinking wtf , furthermore , wtf as in watching porn , especially as often when it does all the negatives..sure there but will be times, but it's best not to let it escalate , especially before a long-term reset I am beginning to see that NoFap really is best as a lifestyle, even short stints away reap rewards , but first need to properly recover from some heavy duty shit

    Why do you want to smash your gf? Because you can't get wood? Don't forget it's not her fault dude. Things will improve.

    Oh wow I must be totally different then. Ever since I stumbled on this nofap I have had an erection much of my day. It's really strange, I keep thinking about sex like I was 12 years old again experiencing a lot of this hormonal crap for the first time.

    I feel like I need to find something to occupy my brain so I will stop thinking about sex and giving myself erections.

    I have been going to the gym once a day and twice a day on weekends. I have also gone for some walks out in the cold. My brain is turning into a freakish ball of diseased mush.

  15. Unfortunately that's normal. Your brain will calm down eventually
