46 days in, no sexual flatline

Maybe you haven't gotten it because you had sex on day 31. In my book it's not technically a reset since there's no PM involved but it has the same out come and same effect on your brain but I a healthy way.

 

Why do u want a flatline bro???
It is the closest thing to death.
It hits out of nowhere and leave you lethargic and even depressed.
Everyone is different and you may or may not experience withdrawal symptoms.
When i used to edge using my imagination or on dating apps , i didn't experience a flatline.
When the fire is off for few days / weeks , it will attack and you will remember my words.
Insomnia, lethargy , anger, agression , depression , anxiety and the list goes on and on.
Keep going

 

Get rid of all triggers and sexual activity. I'm talking about full monk mode. That usually causes a flatline if you stick to it with discipline. Don't have sex.

When I talk about flatline, I consider it a completely positive experience. No urges or sexual desire, few if any erections during the day. And it usually comes with increased focus, energy, and motivation in my experiences. Some people seem to have a wildly different account of it.

 

Yeah that flatline is not my experience. Enjoyed life ( or so I thought) then all joy is gone. I used to workout all the time heavy, worked 2 jobs, married, enjoyed my family and that was taken away from me as soon as I hit flatline which was immediately. No sleep at all, anxiety, shakes, mind racing, unwanted thoughts, etc. a complete flip of my life. Torture. Seems to maybe be slowly getting better but who knows. Haven’t looked at porn in at least 3 weeks. Messed me up obviously.

 

Not so much porn but a struggle sometimes with thoughts. I know what porn has done to me now. Slowly and mean slowly getting better.

 

And I’m married so take that for what it’s worth. I still love my wife so that is a. It’s obviously a different recovery from single guys. I’d probably feel great if I didn’t have sex and was single as well. But I don’t.

 

If I skipped jerking off for a few days, I'd do it about 4 times a day for the next couple days. So yeah, it was bad.

 

Im not sure if i had a flatline or not, but i read at another forum that the longer you've been addicted more likely you'll have on. And i i've been doing this behaviour half my life so i should experience it. But some experience people describe sounds pretty extreme. About 2 years ago i made it 64 days and during that time i had no libido and the it felt "lifeless" down there.

Some days and period i dont have any energy and my body feels really heavy. I read on another forum that you feel dead from the waist down, and i have experienced that for a long time, like the penis is dead/dont excist and thats a unpleaseant feeling. But i do have urges, and i can feel that they are easily triggered.

But i dont think you should focus to much on that, the most important thing is to create a new healthy behaviour and leave the addiction.

 

Not sure what I was escaping. I have a good life, exercise a lot with heavy weights, fish all the time ( live on a beautiful lake), run a business, wife and I run another one, raised a son, etc. All good. Until I decided to stop porn and it all changed. Been such a part of my life I had no idea what it was doing to me until recently and decided to quit. Turned my life upside down. Although temporary I know. NOW I have all the symptoms that the 20 yo porn addicts describe in their lives. No motivation, depression, anxiety, insomnia, you name it. Hell on earth. It is slowly getting better I feel. It’s been 3 1/2 weeks or so, not counting days. I know it’s my brain trying to make me go back so I can deal with it now. Still have porn images in my head but they are fading a bit as well. Still staying busy working on properties we own and working out when I can but still not sleeping really without meds at all. If I was escaping anything it was a good life I was escaping. I really am blessed and was pulled out at the right time as who knows where I would have been in a few more years. God knew obviously and really just slapped my face to wake me up to what I was slowly doing to myself and my family.
