Loss of sex drive: could this be down to porn?

It's perfectly normal, it's called flatline. It happened to me the first week of reboot. I couldn't get any sort of erection (before I would get them spontaneously all the time). I also lost my sex drive. Just at the end of the second week I went back to normal. You can look up for more posts about flatline or flatlining.

 

Hey man.

First of all well done on finding and starting NoFap. That's a great first step.

Now, I was in a similar position to you. Easily MO 4-6 times a day, every day. And at the start of this, I was also similar. In the first week I was determined and doing great and all that. Few urges meant few erections, but like you say, they weren't strong, and I definitely didn't have a strong sex drive.

However, now I'm 3 weeks in, it's totally the opposite on all fronts. Sex drive is way, way up! And as for the erections, well they are like cement now. Greatly improved.

I think it's part of the process. Like the first week is where the body begins to repair the damage done from endless MOing. Repairing the nerves and the actual penis itself. So your probs not going to experience a increase in sex drive or erection quality until a few days time. Trust me, you'll notice when it returns.

So just take it in your stride. Enjoy this quieter moment and prepare yourself for when it gets rocky. Good luck man!

 

DON'T WORRY, this is completely normal. Like Jon.B said, this part of the process is called the flatline. Normally the flatline does not last very long, usually two weeks at the very most, but you shouldn't be worried if yours happens to take longer, everyone is different. Also, this may not be the only flatline you experience. Mine are short lived at only a few days, but tend to happen more than once. I'd recommend doing kegels two sets a day for reps of ten (each rep should last ten seconds), I know they seem ridiculous but they can help reduce some symptoms of a future flatline if one happens.

 

Yup the flatline. I was in the same position as you. Within a few days into my reboot/rewire I was hit with the flatline. I didn't know at the time because I didn't know anything about NoFap/reboot and rewire. Freaked me out. I thought I had a low testosterone problem. Mine lasted for about a good month and a half. Just also to like to let you know when a flatline begins it is fast and abrupt but how it ends it is a somewhat slow gradual process.
