    Hi, I'm 20 years old and on a 12 day streak but am having a lot of trouble with stress and anxiety. I don't know if I'm in a bit of a flatline or am just experiencing a more normal amount of erections due to past porn addiction, but I find myself constantly checking if I can still get hard. I am able to get hard using my mind but it takes a ton of effort and I know this is not sustainable, it also doesn't really help. I also find myself getting frustrated when I see an attractive girl out on the street or something, I am aware I should not be getting hard at this but it will still bother me sometimes. I guess deep down I am worried about what will happen when I first get intimate with a girl, I can basically guarantee it will be at least 50 days until this happens, likely more. Basically, how do I stop constantly checking if my dick still works, being bothered by attractive girls on the street, and worried about my performance in future sexual encounters. Thanks friends :)

    I'm no expert on this, but I would suggest to stop checking. It only causes you worry. I would say just focus on maintaining a healthy diet, protect your sleep, and exercise regularly.

  3. Your dick will be dead for a while. It's part of the process. There's no reboot without flatline, we all go through it. PMO overworks our sexual functions and we need some time to be able to perform normally again. So if you can't get hard, don't worry. It'll pass, especially since you have more than 50 days to deal with this. Stop checking.
     

  4. Mate. One good advice I can give is to stop worrying about it and focus on your life. The more you check and the more you think about it not happening, sure it will still be the same. Focus on your life, health, and relationships my friend. In time it will come back to you like never before.

    Stop checking. It will happen when you see a beautiful woman. That's when natural arousal happens.

    Think of this like this process:

    In the morning, you wake up you think about yeah you need to brush your teeth then you need to shower and do your morning routines right? Then rest of the day you don't think about..... brushing your teeth right?

    So use that same concept with your dick and natural arousal. Let your healing happen naturally and when you meet a beautiful woman unexpectedly and naturally, that's when the natural arousal will start to happen. Let go of the thought process on this and just focus on your life.
     
  7. Checking things like this is something that quite often leads to a relapse, just trust the NoFap proces. :)
