    I'm 60+ days into my journey. Honestly, everything is going well. However, I haven't really experienced a flatline (at least not what I understand it to be). I did briefly in the very beginning for about a week. Ever since then, I might go a few days feeling absolutely nothing and then the next few days with overwhelming sexual energy/desire.

    Anybody else experience this? Should I be concerned?

    I'm at Day 20 think I'm starting to flatline which is ok because the withdrawal was in overdrive for a week.

    I've had brief periods where I didn't feel any sexual desire. I never had a phase I could clearly identify as withdrawal. Other people talk about their dicks shrivelling and changing colors, but that never happened to me. I feel left out, lol.

    If you haven't achieved the flaine by day 60, either you arent as addicted as you thought or your releasing dopamine in other ways. (I'm not a neurologist or anything, but I did a fair amount of research.)

    Or, it's possible you're doing something right.

    15th day here and I'm flatlining. It's scary actually because it makes you tempted to watch it more to make sure you're not broken or something. Lol so watch out... After flat lining though I also get overwhelming feelings to fail.

    Some of the flatline reports you see are from guys whe were perhaps 7-8 times a day binging for 6-7 hours to "unusual" stuff

    If you were, say a 2 a day guy who binged for an hour or 90 minutes to fairly "normal" stuff you wont go through the same level of flatline.

    My flatlines in the past have just been not really thinking about sex much and not getting any random boners. Although i have HAD sex on a flatline before which i think is impossible for some people. and i DID still get morning wood.

    it varies person to person
     
  7. I am in a flatline. For me I get no morning wood, no feeling of being horny, and my dick feels dead. I know it'll pass. I can use this time to improve myself. I do kind of think it sucks because I'm always concern if my dick works lol.
     
  8. I actually feeling what you're feeling right now. Let's keep going forward and not get distracted!

    I made it somehow last night. My wife wanted to go to a bar last night and let's just say my flat line went to tachychardia. Woke up today though and it's overwhelming. I've kind of caught up with everything at home. I may just have to dirty the floor or something to clean it and stay busy.
