Stopping cycle of flatlines

I wouldn't turn down the right women. I might not turn down the wrong women too! lol. No porn and jerking off has really returned my libido. Unless there is a underlying condition, the 90 day count seems to be accurate . But, everyone is different. I'm day 126 and sometimes I have flatline( dead dick). I'm 54 and often now I have teenager boners. This is a great thing.

 

I would personally keep a flexible profile on that: I wouldn't chase after girls for sure - after all, if the libido is not there, you don't have the drive - but if a woman unequivocally showed that she's up for sex, I wouldn't decline. At least in my case, the flatline ended the very moment I saw my girlfriend naked.
But even if you don't get laid, the flatline period will eventually expire. The longest case I have read about was that of Gabe Deem, who took 9 months to fully recover from PIED, but I have never heard of people taking longer. Chances are, you will be already over it by New Year's Eve.

To sum it up, my advice is not to stress over getting a girl for the mere goal of "checking if your penis is still alive". It is, man. Just stay clear of PMO, and your friend will be working fine when the time comes. Just don't force it.

 

I am at day 78. My plan was to reboot in hard mode for 90 days. (for me, hard mode ='ed no porn, no masturbation, no orgasm and no sexual contact/activity of any kind for the first 90 days.) Gary wilson on yourbrainonporn.com suggests to rewire(engage in sexual contact with another human) while rebooting( abstaining from porn and *optional for him*-masturbation).

I decided to do my version of hard mode fro two reasons:
1) I've noticed from peoples testimonies on and off of this forum that Orgasming, either with or without a partner, brings forth a chaser effect, keeps the feeling of wanting to orgasm on the mind and consequently makes it more difficult to abstain from watching porn and/or masturbating.
2) Like you, I also had/have PIED. I've had countless times where I found myself in a sexual situation with a woman and have found nothing down there worked. That feeling I would receive of mixed embarrassment and low self-worth had actually caused me to completely avoid putting myself in that usually enjoyable sexual situation. For me, it just reminded and brought back to me all those fears and negative feelings.

So my plan is to complete the roughly two weeks I have left of the reboot and THEN begin being sexual with a woman.

Do more reading and listening to expert and amateur testimonials regarding this and you will be able to find which path is right for you.

 

Hey mate,
I don't think that there is an absolute answer or perfect timing to what you are asking. The best is go with the flow and take the chance of sex when you have it. Dont worry too much, it just makes everything worse.

 

Did you notice any improvement in concentration after 78 days?
