    So I decided to join NoFap and stop PMOing for 30 days.
    Until yesterday (day 4) I was horny as fuck. I would have raped every single woman I saw.
    But today, at day 5, I didn't have any urges. Not an erection.
    This is weird, I don't know what's happening to my body and my mind.
    Did it happen to you too? Even before a week? Please let my know..

    Hey Luca1! THE FIRST STEP TO CHANGE IS AWARENESS! 5 days no buddy! Keep. It. Up! I'm day 4 so basically in the same situation. I have been a P addict for the good part of my conscious life. I am 23 years old and have watched P for over 14 years. (The boom of High Speed Internet). It will change your life! I tried rebooting 2 years ago and only managed 6 - 7 days. I had the same thing Luca1. I could have had every woman I saw. This time is different. I am noticing female beauty, yearning for a deep connection with women.
    What has worked this time for me is PAIN. PHYSICALLY rebooting my brain. Get a thick elastic band and keep it on your wrist. Whenever you feel an urge stretch the band and whip the soft inner part of your wrist. Hurts like FUCK. But keep doing it. You're brain will associate your urge to M and watch P with pain. You will then look at women in a different light. Also your brain will start to FORGET P faster.
    I am WATCHING you now buddy. Set up a counter and lets do this
    STAY STRONG MY FRIEND!

    This is a good idea, NFB. Thank you for this.

    I'm at day 25(ish) and I've gotten morning wood these past two days. I don't know if that means I'm out of flatline / slowly getting out of it / etc.

    Shorty after 2 weeks was when my flatline was at its' worst. However, with that being noted, I rarely ever got morning wood to begin with. And I've not once gotten a random erection during this streak (IIRC).

    Here's a good thread on /r/NoFap about flatline lengths: https://m.reddit.com/r/NoFap/comments/37cprv/heres_a_list_of_long_flatlines_to_give_you_hope/

    There was a great post I saw a few days ago (either on here or YBOP) that displayed the average beginning -> end of most flatlines. I will link it here if/when I find it.

    Best of luck in your journey, Luca.

    Hello Luca! You have to know why you are doing. Not having urges and not being horny is a good thing at day 4. Especially when you talk about being so horny so you want to rape women. Thats the thing, nofap is to help to remove a bit of that where we objectify woman, not to help us be more horny. Keep the days up and rub through your mind why you are doing this! Take care

    Hey man, take it as a blessing that you're not horny. It's just your brain rewiring itself and it's confused because it's not getting the stimulation you always give in to. It should be easier to avoid urges now since you're in a flatline. Keep going man, it just gets better :)

    HI Chivar! Welcome! :) Glad to hear my words had some sort of impact on you. Do try the elastic band thing. I have it on my wrist and whenever I have an urge, or even a thought to just flip open the laptop or a little memory of how good it was I am aware that it's my brain trying to be right, it's my brain wanting that HIT of dopamine. I say "thank you for sharing", PULL the elastic band as far as I can and WHACK the soft innermost part of my wrist. Almost like disciplining a naughty child! It's really working for me and my urges are rapidly diminishing. I may be in a flatline because I have noticed a drop in libido however I have more energy, less shame and a lot more confidence. Also, women are a lot more beautiful and not sex objects. Let us know how you find it.

    hey Man, sometimes I have a flatline from day one, my current streak I've been flatlining since day one, until today... horniness hit me, I edged a little earlier, but I just browsed, then hated myself and turned it off.... in a way man, I am looking forward to the next flatline.

    I actually prefer the flatline period than the extreme horniness periods.... I think folks like us, need to figure out how to ride the wave for both sensations.

    Bro, i also started august nofap on August 14 and today on August 15, i relapse, quited. Today i felt the same like you said. Feeling too much horny. Not able to control myself. Tried everything like doing pushups, going outside, saying no multiple times. But the sensation was so strong that i cannot control myself. Btw, i am fapping from last 7 years, so it can be the case of addiction. But i really want to quit this thing. But i am happy that i am able to do atleast 4 days without any urges. I am starting nofap once again from today. Plz give me some solid practical & working tips only which will work to fight this flatline or urges.
     
  14. Hi Luca. Gotta be honest, I think you need to restrain the your use of language when it comes to using the term rape. I understand the intensity of your urges, and I don't wish to censor you. However, what you says affects your thoughts, and I don't believe that referring to your own feelings with that level of sexual violence is good for you. Also, it's quite likely that some people here have been victims of rape, and seeing the term used like this may be upsetting.

    Good luck with your journey.
