    A flat-line is a GOOD thing, let me explain why...

    Today I'm on day 17 of my reboot and yesterday was my first day of feeling the "flat-line". For the whole day I had no sexual desire at all. Before going to bed last night, I tried to day dream about sexual thoughts to see if there was a reaction and nothing. My penis had no response. It wasn't until this morning that I had a reaction with morning wood.

    So...why is this a good thing?

    Simple, when you were struggling with your streak to get through 3, 5, 7 days etc most of the time you are trying to resist the urge and only some of the time, you feel motivated and committed to no PMO.

    During a flat-line this flips round. Now most of the time you don't have any urges and only some of the time (like me this morning) do you get short periods of urges.

    This is a good thing because now you don't need as much energy and effort to resist!

    That energy and effort can now go to anything else. Learning an instrument, picking up more exercise, playing a sport, trying new recipes, literally anything else.

    For me, that energy is now going into studying a new language.

    So enjoy this time, instead of trying to control urges all day, now its only going to be every now and again and that is a hell of a lot easier.

    Good luck!

    Good post! It isnt something that people should worry about as it will pass and the benefits are massive after flatline so it is worthy. I find myself with increased libido and better erections after every flatline, also every other flatline last less than the previous one. Im rewiring for a long time now and i can say that my flatlines last 1-3 days. When i started nofap i had flatline of 3-4 weeks. Hands off dick and dont test it for no reason as the problem is between the eyes. You have to pass a flatline to feel me

    I miss my flatline so much. It was way too easy to abstain from porn. My first relapse came when the flatline ended.

    Exactly. I always get confused why people post threads like "FLATLINE.. HELP ME!!!!!! PLEASE!!!"
    It's better to have no sexual desire when you are trying to stay away from sexual thoughts in the first place. I lost my sexual urges after a month and it gave me such an intense clarity of the world around me, I felt reborn almost. It's so refreshing to be free of these mental shackles that cause you to objectify every single woman you see.
