If you're in severe flatline, should ejaculating/orgasming bring you out of it?

flatlinefixer · Feb 19, 2018

I'll try keep this short and concise..
- Never been huge on porn and not a crazy fapper, anywhere from 2-7x a week for 13 years however - porn sporadically.
- Decided to try nofap, 6 weeks in.
- Mood a bit up and down since start, some days better, some days more irritable etc.
- Week 5 comes, start to decline hard, feeling depressed for no reason, like physiologically depressed (not having negative thoughts etc), some anxiety etc.
- Week 6 - no fapping, no porn, no sex at all for 6 weeks. Feeling BAD. Super down. Spent weekend with an amazing chick I met overseas and it kinda spoiled the weekend for me in ways cause my mood was so f*cked even though normally in that situation I'd of been over the moon. End up having sex and I ejaculate.
- I presumed this was all down to nofap, and if I ejaculated i'd come out of flatline. Only came once, however it's been 3 day since, and still mood is down, never got any better at any time since ejaculating.

So - could this still be flatline? Should ejaculating/orgasming once bring you out of a hard flatline or has anyone found that a single ejaculation didnt resolve it?

Am going to go doctors to see if I get full bloods done incase something else in my body is out. My diet is perfect, train reguarly etc. Then suddenly out of nowhere this massive grey cloud just hit me and is still hanging around.

Ofc I'm not going to relapse, still have no desire to ever fap again atm, and the chicks gone so not going to be having sex again for a while.

Anyone?

Sorry for not answering sooner.

I'm in a pretty severe flatline. Having a orgasm (sex) when you are in a severe flatline will make it worse (My own experience). Brain fog is through the roof at the moment..

It is probably chemical imbalance in the brain, it takes time for the brain to rebalance.

Yes this sounds like a typical flatline. It takes time to come out of as your dopamine levels reset themselves to normal. Stay active, keep up healthy habits and keep your mind occupied with something you enjoy (hobbies, pursuits, etc). It passes.

Okay that's re-assuring. I just started to question why I was doing this - I never had a porn addiction but as I said I did masturbate 3-7x a week, so figured if there were physical and mental benefits to be had from doing this, then why not do it - especially as I've been working to curb all my addictive behaviours.

Will just have to pray it passes and I come out the other side feeling better than before!!

Real sex can end the flatline. Lots of it. Been in biggest flatline ever, my gf returned, spend 3 days in bed, flatine is gone.

100% agree with this statement. I’d been 40 odd days no PMO before last night. Last night I met up with a girl I’d known a while back but hadn’t seen in about 5 years - I was coming out of my flatline I believe but having all the sex last night, she definitely helped get out of it completely. Also I’m happy to say I had no PIED problems, I was super relaxed which helps and I kept an erection the entire time. I had a slight issue with finishing but she wasn’t complaining and nor was i! I finished eventually though I’m just super happy to be having sex again and enjoying it because at the end of the day that’s why we’re all here, right?!

I only orgasmd once.. so maybe it wasn't enough to bring me out of it?

Also never in my life once have I had a problem getting or staying hard, and during this time I did notice the entire time my erections werent as hard as normal, and at one point couldn't even keep it hard... + normally I get LOTS of pre-cum from the build up/dry humping etc and I noticed I had virtually 0.. Both of those two things were occurences I'd never experienced before nofap.

I presumed again from both of these that this was an indication of flatline?

So the flatline didn't end after just 1 orgasm/ejaculation? It took multiple to bring you out of it?

Yes, I felt the flatline on and off during the whole 3 days. We really spend 50 hours plus in bed... after she left, my flatline was gone. But it took a time... i THINK its not about the number of orgasms u get, I had "just" three. Its about the total ammount of sexual stimulus I GUESS. And the closeness to the opposite sex, kissing, touching, smelling, cuddling, everything

Only thing which is sure is, that I had a HUGE flatline and dead D, and after 3 days its all gone, flatline is gone, my D is ready for more...

My flatline was so big i was considering telling her about it even before we tryed anything. Just straight up telling her im offline... was scarry af... its not something you want to tell to your gf after 3 weeks of separation (she was in different country and I was in a hardmode noPmo)

I guess its also really individual. Im at 170 days noPMO now.. cca85 of those days were in hard mode. No im just noPM with a GF.. GF I have thanks to noPMO...

I never had a loads of precum so I cant tell.. but.. it APPEARS to me that you are in a lower libido stage. Which is completely normal after 6 weeks. Thats the healing for you. no worries mate..

Thanks for your replies bro, appreciate you. I must say, the depression seems to have eased off a little this afternoon, feeling more mentally stable lol. Fingers crossed things pick up from here!

Will be ok one day or another. You doing the best, give it a time and the results will follow. Just keep pushing day by day...its a big deal. Imo its harder than dealing with a hard drugs. I consider cigarettes a hard drug, ended the day i ended with pmo. Smoked for 20 years. Pmo the same cca. And ending smoking was easier. And its said smoking longterm is like a heroin addiction.... so think about it. You doing great, hold on!!!
