    I’ve been in a flatline since I started no PMO. I’m currently on day 18 and no libido, dead dick, no urges, no morning wood. Has anyone experienced a flatline right away?

    No changes... I’m on day 26 and still the dead dick although it doesn’t seem AS dead... I have noticed some anxiety in the mornings the last few days. Also when I wake, I have this strange almost empty feeling in my head. It’s hard to explain it exactly.

  7. OP. I think I pretty much went through the first few days like that too. I don't dare say "easy" but meeting my no PMO goals wasn't as bad as stopping my brain from queueing up visual images and memories from either real life or P. Bit I expected to be a raging angry guy or something...fighting a beast back and it wasn't like that at all. I just would say out loud or inaudibly in public - nope, stop thinking that....and it was done.

    Just got 2 weeks and have have some morning erections but last night break through... literally dreamed about being with my wife man, the way it should be. Sensed were high and it was great to wake out of that - AND still have the power to appreciate it, appreciate her, and NOT turn to PM . Cheers. It'll get better, bro. Trust yourself, and trust the idea that even if we miscalculated the science, we owe it to ourselves and to others to be better. Mostly ourselves, of course - but hey, if our friends and family benefit we can take that win too!

    Yea I am on day 5, dead dick as well. I do have some sexual urge and on bed, i was getting semi hard for a few seconds thinking about sex but had no desire to touch myself.

    Do you mind sharing how long have you been watching porn? For me, its been around 7 years and it had gotten worse in the last 2 years or so. Especially last month, i averaged 2-3 masturbations a day and hence, I think I fell into flatline straight away.

    I'm in 42th day and now I can say that I see recovery. My states of anxiety was go on (not all, I recognize), and my libido is very low. However it's better than at begining. Then my dick was even dead and I slept many hours. I liked to sleep all day, but now my energy return.

    I’m 36 years old and probably started consistently when I went to college. I always had a great sex life and never had an issue with PIED or libido until about 4 years ago. I blamed it on competing and dieting for men’s physique shows, but i stopped that 2.5 years ago and finally realized that wasn’t the problem. I used pmo as a habit almost as part of my daily routine.... at night before bed to fall asleep.

    Nice... I look forward to giving some positive updates.
     
  14. I think that happens when you have many pmo sessions before starting
     
  15. Have felt it on smaller streaks or on the beginnings of some streaks, cause I always start one, I don't go fapping for days. But be ready for flatline. I had one for two months (56 days) so be prepared ;)

    I almost always have flatline when I go nofap after edging (no O). I always feel bad but I usually make my best streak.
    That’s what happen this time too. No binge watching for days. I usually watched porn every 3 days.

    Fair enough. At least you've had your own share of pleasure in the past. My case is dramatically different. I haven't had much of a sex life and when I did, PIED ruined it. Back to square one. Even when a woman was giving me head, I couldn't feel a damn thing. So, its important that I can pull back my life together before its too late. But I am certainly getting worried about my lack of morning wood or natural erection.

    80+ days hard mode. I feel like the majority of my days have been spent in flatline. But in my opinion that's not a bad thing. I have increasingly come to regard flatlining as advantageous and a blessing.
