No Flatline Yet?

    I'm on a 30 day PM rebooting challenge. I don't have ED. I decided to reboot because P makes me waste a lot of time. The M component of my challenge is there because my boyfriend has always told me that he has more energy and "life" when he doesn't ejaculate often. I was curious to explore this and also I know from personal experience that if you save your man juice, the times when you do ejaculate are a lot more powerful in terms of sensation, amount of semen, and shooting strength.

    I'm two weeks into my challenge and I still haven't experienced flatline. Is it ever going to happen or does it only happen to people with ED? Before my rebooting I PM'd often, maybe every day or every other day depending on stress and libido levels, but I never had problems in the bedroom and I ALWAYS got and still get an erection whenever I'm around my boyfriend, even if we are not interacting in a sexual context. I consider myself to be always down for sex; my libido is always really high and my long-term sexual partners have historically had trouble keeping up with my libido levels.

    Does anyone have a similar experience of no flatline? Or have I not gotten there yet?

    The longest period I flatlined for was about 2 weeks, some people report longer times but it differs from persoon to person. I actually enjoy flatllining

    I've read a lot of discussion on this "flatline." Can someone please describe specifically what we're referring to here.
    What are the symptons?
    When does it usually occur?
    Is this inevitable?

    Again, I've read quite a bit of discussion about this, but haven't found a good definition or description.

    It's when you feel lethargic, don't feel like doing anything, you have no motivation and zero sexual horniness. People usually don't like flatlines but they are part of rebooting and can help if you are constantly going through withdrawals. There is no time frame about when it can occur. It can occur at anytime or may not occur at all.

    Interesting. My experience of flatlining differs somewhat. I have zero sexual horniness but feel I have more energy, motivation and drive to other things as a result. Guess it means different things for us fapstronauts

    If you are focusing on when you will flat line than your approach is built on a foundation that will fail. Try looking at your progress as a positive aspect and quit looking for the flat line to come in and decimate your drive. Some people look forward to flat line, others dread it. But in reality, the point is being missed if flat line is the milestone.

    Yeah, I just found it odd that there was so much discussion of it on these forums. I haven't experienced anything like lethargy in my first 3 weeks. If anything, it's been the exact opposite. I feel like I have loads of energy, I'm cycling 150+ miles every week. I was also just on a date with a beautiful girl last week and have plans to watch a movie together next week. I sense I'm already feeling more in touch with my natural sexuality.

    Obviously everyone is different, but I agree that so much focus on this flatline isn't really beneficial.
