Flat line removed some the benefits of rebooting that I gained

I haven't flat lined mentally and still have a very powerful mental libido. But I'd say somewhere between about day 20 and day 40 for me characterized a period where I was more excited talking with women and was somewhat more likely to approach and be a part of their very feminine sexuality. At day 65, I can simply ignore it more easily through a longer period of time where I don't focus on women and sex. It is very gradual, but I have noticed somewhat of an abatement.

I definitely haven't lost the excitement and happiness about small things and I am still much more interested and motivated in general.

I am rather happy in my current state and have grown accustomed to it somewhat. I sense that you are less happy and simply want more sexual involvement with women directly? That may lead you to feeling less happy about the small things if one of your biggest priorities looks to be fading away. I hear time and time again that flat lining is temporary, so hang in there!

 

From everything I have read, it is very normal and is likely to go away. Unfortunately there is no clear indication how long a flat-line may last. Worst case scenario, you feel relatively disinterested in women for the duration of your reboot. After it is all over and you kick the habit, many men choose to pursue women. Go on a few dates and get yourself in close proximity to a woman who is a very good match for you and you may find your sex drive and interest both do a 180. If you are doing a good job of avoiding most any form of sexual stimuli/trigger, then a flat-line almost 'should' be the result. I'd say bravo for your results so far. That is a very believable indicator that you are in fact actually rebooting. Your cravings and 'need' for libido may decrease. But rest assured, they aren't gone forever. It is a very freeing experience to want to get to know a woman without bothering at all about sex right away. The whole idea of getting past objectification is becoming interested in women again for different and often non-sexual reasons. I would not expect that to happen overnight, but if you are open to it, it will likely occur. First realize that it is very possible. You often find exactly what you are looking for. Look for what you want to find!
