flat line

I discovered nofap many years ago but the info I know now I didn’t know back then. I’ve gone back and forth because I’ve never really found the best approach: Some say just keep having sex but forget porn and masturbation. Others say occasional MO is fine. And some others say no porn, MO, or...

My theory is that PAWS may actually be PTSD for some folks. If you look at the symptoms of PTSD and the common symptoms of PAWS they align almost perfectly. This is something which is not discussed much in the Nofap / SR communities so that's why I started making YouTube videos to explain this...

Hey all, I am only 8 days into my current reboot. I have done a full 90+ days before but since I didn't have any outlet, I just reverted back to porn and sank deeper. Now, there are multiple women at my work that flirt with me. Also, several gay guys. I really like the one girl and she...

Hi guys how are you doing, I want to ask you something, since April was the month where I relapsed the most, I drastically reduced the frequency of watching P and also M, I went through wet dreams, and relapsed several times on the way, but the most significant progress perhaps, is that in July...

I don't have to say it's not only terrible in a relationship but also depressing in my everyday life and I'm bored and less productive than ever. How do I make it go away? I use zinc-magnesium-b6 suppliment since yesterday. BTW I'm 16.

Just reviewing my experience at 25 days: I did fall into a flatline / depression at the start of NoFap. I didn’t crave the PMO but I did find my brain adjusting to missing this ritual. It felt like low level depression, sexual apathy, and an element of sadness. That seems to have faded at 20...

I'm not interested in girls or porn or anything only I want is to test my erection but I know it's trick to relapse but I'm really not interested in anything, Even if when I look at girls in a lot of times I feel I'm forcing myself about the idea of wanting to sleep with her only to test my...

Please reply if you have any information either it was personal or it's based on science. My case : I'm addicted to PMO more than 10 or 11 years now since I was 12 or 15 now I'm 25 years old. First time I watched porn it was for female organ I didn't know what it was only after long time I...

I'm 25 years old, i was doing PMO since i was 11 , in the last 3 or 4 years i started to watch more more more intense porn. and this intense porn started to be more frequent in the last year. in the last few months maybe 4 or 5 months i started to suffer to maintain erection during PMO...

My age is 25 years, I'm a virgin and I'll get married to a beautiful lovely girl after few months maybe 4 or 6 months from now (we are still arranging) and according to my culture it's not normal to have sex outside of marriage. I'm diagnosed with OCD and borderline personality disorder. I...

I’ve watched porn since I was around 5-6 so I don’t think I ever had a very normal sexual experience. But when I got to my teens and around the pandemic it only got worse. I don’t feel attraction to women anymore, at all, nor do I feel anything when watching porn. Idk if it’s that I lost...

Hi. struggling a bit I’m at 50 days not sure if flatline but I feel completely deflated. I don’t feel like speaking to any girls at all, but I want to.. do you think this is the flatline ? I just can’t understand how things will get better. im 25, never had a proper gf and been watching P...

Hi All, I'm on day 33 of my NoFap journey. Something strange happened last night. For some inexplicable reason I had a long sustained erection through most of the night and couldn't sleep properly. Does this indicate the flat-line phase is over? Today I am somewhat miserable and in need of some...

Good Morning Everyone, For the very first time I have managed to hit the 25-day mark in NoFap hard mode. My libido seems to be at an all time low even though I’m getting proper sleep, workout 3 days a week and eat mostly healthy stuff. Is a flatline at this early stage normal?

Hi everyone, here's my story: I'm a 40-something guy with a great wife, and traditionally a pretty high sex drive. I've been with my wife for 12 years, and we have sex 2-4 times per week. But in between that, I was using porn pretty much every day. Sometimes I would even have sex with her, then...

I'm Stuck, and I don't know how to move forward. I have failed the last 3 streaks because of Flatlines. One was a 43 day streak, and the flatline started at about day 20ish, it got to a point where I was completely numb to everything. I had no motivation to do anything and I literary had use...

I’ve successfully gotten over the flatline phase. Mine lasted 1.5 months… it was awful and disheartening to a point where I almost said f*ck it, let me wank it once. I didn’t want to jeopardize my progress though… Everytime I controlled my urges it boosted my self-esteem. Gotta think long term...

Hello there. I'm going to tell you a bit of myself and my current status. I've 36, I started PM with 13. At the begining it was with magazines, then with Internet downloads and finally with streaming. When I was 24 or so, I started to PM to fetishes that years before would've been unthinkible...

I started nofap more than 6 weeks ago and gradually, I got back to the gym, then eating more healthy, not staying up at nights too much, clean diet, going for massage and chiropractor, learning new skills etc. I look so good now, both mentally and physically. I am 39, 5'4" tall, 144 lbs and 23%...

Everyone, what are your experiences with Flatline? When did you figure out you are going through it? How long was it for you and what did you feel and overcame in that period?

Hello to everyone, first of all let me apologise for my bad english because is not my native lenguage and i don't really know if this is the right place to post this because im new in the forum. I been in the shadows reading all kind of stories about porn adiction, flatline etc.. untill i...

I have been on the nofap journey from about Nov 2019 managing streaks from a few days up to 40-45 days, but never managed to get past this point. During this time I haven’t dated anyone until more recently where I have started up with my neighbour. Every time we have sex I have felt dreadful...

Hey all. So I have struggled with addiction for around two decades. It was not always porn; weed, and other things. Over the past two years, between hard times, covid, the horrors of online accelerated college and chronic pain(and this was the result of a medicsl misdiagnosis) that recently...

Hello partners! I would like to know how the flat line really works on restart, I have read a lot about it but I never felt fully identified with it and I am wondering if I am going through it or not. I have been on my trip for almost 30 days and if it is true that I have noticed how the...

Hello all, I want to share what I feel is the ultimate difference maker in someone just starting NoFap, is making it through Flatlining, or is just trying to reach NoFap goals: Emotional Intelligence Emotional Intelligence can be defined simply as: A) Knowing what emotions you're feeling or...

I need some advice regarding urges. Im almost at day 90 with having a couple of wet dreams, fantasising, and decreased libido but almost no urges. I've been watching p for 4-5 years (ages 16-20) and throughout Nofap, only had one significant urge but no relapse. I catch myself fantasising but...

I incur repeated symptoms usually after wet dreams.

At this time I’m 17 1/2 and I can officially say my pied is almost entirely cured . I’m gonna avoid wasting your time with this post and gonna keep it focused . Skip to the bottom for my complete guid and tips to beat severe pied BACKGROUND Before I started my road to recovery I had been...

My usual sex drive is missing. Idk what happened but my high energy sex drive that I usually have around this time of a reboot is missing. Now I just don't really want to talk to anyone, I feel unusually calm and i don't feel any need to have conversation with females even though I definitely...

Hello guys, I feel like im entering a flatline. Today I woke up with little energy, right now im resting between sets of my workout. I also had a couple of urges that went away almost instanly, Im not tempted to peek at porn because thats not what i want. Does anybody have any tips about dealing...

so i will soon be 18 and i have been masturbating daily for years. I never tried to stop myself earlier as i had read about all the withdrawal effects and uncontrollable urges and feared relapsing. But for a week now i have stopped fapping and TBH i dont feel any withdrawal effects or the bad...

Hi, I am on day 6 noFap streak, and I've gotta tell you, it's extremely difficult to control this increasing urge to masturbate. I just want to get to the flatline stage, where you can get a bit relaxed from those urges. Does anyone know on which day exactly the flatline arrives? And if I keep...

Finally hit 30+ days into my hard mode reboot for my PIED i started getting morning wood here and they’re but really to pee lol! I get urges every once in a while I feel like my dick doesn’t work at time which I think you guys call it Flatlining and it’s taking everything to trust the process...

Hello everybody :)at the age of 19 I've decided to start my first nofap journey, so my current streak is more than 100 days. And I actually liked nofap before the day 60. I was full of energy, unlimited motivation, desire to speak with everybody, had everyday workout, cold showers, etc. But...

I'm on the 77th day of Nofap, let's say that after the first few weeks I felt good, having no particular impulses, in the meantime I started to have good habits, like practicing sports eating healthy. I thought it was all over but after the 50th day something changed, I started to be attracted...

I have been having dreams of me having sex with various women. I suprisingly climax and feel that ejaculation euphoria but I dont cum in real life. I can feel all that excitement and dopamine in my head that I have no control over in the dream. I wake up and feel very anxious. It's probably...

Im on day 31 of hardmode nofap. After fighting through a 2-week long flatline for the last 4-5 days my sex drive/libido has been pretty high, wet dreams, strong fantasies and a motivation to find and talk to real girls. I wasn't interested at all in looking at porn, more so the idea of having a...

Hi guys, I need your help. Unfortunately I'm in a strange situation: I haven't reached flatline yet... but lately I feel like I was flatlined: I'm deconcentrated and not motivated in anything (studying, physical activity, reading and other things); I'm getting more and more irritable and I keep...

Hi guys! I'm writing this thread because I would like to read some of your experiences about flatlines. During the first two weeks of rebooting I didn't have any problem: I was constantly studying, reading a lot, taking long walks with my dog and exercising.... But for about a week I feel...

In February I went two weeks without porn, sex, and masterbating and I felt great. It was my first time trying nofap, my Ed was gone, my sexual desire was back, and my erections were stronger than ever everything was going great.. until I had sex with my girlfriend. Don't get me wrong, it was...

I've been flatlined for a few weeks, so I'm still learning to deal with the emotions, the depression, the lack of energy, and lately the struggle to get a goods night sleep. I keep waking up hours before the alarm. I set my alarm for 5:30 last night, and wake up at about 4:30 this morning with...

I was wondering about taking supplements that you would get at sprouts to help boost libido and testosterone during my current flatline to help maybe speed it up? Any thoughts?

Hey, So I have been in a committed relationship with a woman I met of my dreams. She is everything to me and I want to spend the rest of my life with her. I gave up everything porn and anything that didn’t have to do with her in regards to flings and other side business and have only...

Hello everyone, I'm new in this forum, 28yo male on my 32nd day of (at least) 90-day reboot in hard mode, and just decided to join this amazing community. I'm doing this because of: - PIED: recently discovered, only one instance until now. I think its not a severe case, since I have no problem...

I have been consuming porn since I was 15, now I am 32. I began to become numb to regular porn, started watching more and more and developed a PIED. I've quit 9 days ago. I have no urges to watch or struggles to stay away, no particular attraction to women whatsoever. I feel like child who is...

Hello. Since 1st January I'm away from PMO. From about day 14 I'm experiencing flatline symptoms. I'm depressed as fuck, no motivation, suicidal thoughts, no energy and extreme levels of social anxiety. I mean I'm shy from nature, and I was dealing with social anxiety in past, but in that time...

I stopped watching porn over 100 days ago. I flatlined immediately, no reaction. At the beginning when I stopped, I tried to M but it wasn’t successful and eventually I started to O without being hard. I stopped trying. After 60 days, my wife and I had sex several days, and I M several times...

***DISCLAIMER*** Copied with some modification from a post of reddit. Do you think a 90-day reboot at NoFap means struggling with being unbelievably horny for three months straight? Fitful sleep solved by pouring ice on your crotch and thinking of Betty White naked? Well, that's only half the...

Hey It's Day 8..I've observed a light headache along with feeling of heaviness in my entire body. I've also observed that my hands and feet are more warm( sometimes feel they are burning) anything I touch I leave mositure around it even though the temperature is cold in this time around. I...

I don't know much about flatlineing but I'm going to assume it's what I feel right now. Feeling like anything and everything in your life is not interesting, feeling like all your energy is drained and you're just a husk, in the meantime your brain just wants to go back to porn or at the very...

I am freaking out!!!! It's day 70 of my nofap and I haven't had morning wood like once, just a bunch of wet dreams. I have been trying to reboot with a girlfriend so I wonder if a few orgasms from oral and sex along the way have set me back.... I haven't felt anything with my libido except the...

Hi there. I wanna share with you a story that may help you guys a lot. Today morning I woke up having a very diferente experience (at least for me). I’m on my day 24 and this last week and a half I simply started having some negative emotions, feelings and my thoughts were quite uncontrollable...

Do you always go through a flatline? What does that look like in a relationship? I’m 25 days in on hard mode (have tried karezza twice and didn’t O) and have down days and days with no morning wood but no “dead dick” days. My wife still turns me on from just hugs. Will I know when it hits? Does...

Hi, I'm going through a deep flatline I think, I don't have any sexual nor emotional feelings towards woman right now. I've been dealing with this for almos a month now and because of that lack of feelings I think I have developed HOCD. So sometimes I still have morning woods and for example...

I keep reading about the flatline , that appears probably after 7 days or more but im on day 24 and my libido is still height , i never had no libido , could it be because of a suplement that i AM talking? ZMA , Zinc, magensium and vitamins? Only when i almost fapped on day 20 and watched 10...

Almost 10 days through. I am experiencing a weird swing between low and high libido. One Minute I am fighting an urge and the next I have no sexual interest in anything. Strange! I wonder if that happened to anyone before...... Does anyone have any experience with that?

hi all, I’ve been stuck in the flatline since about day 8 of my no PM journey to day 53. I’m pretty over it at this point. I’ve managed to have S a few times with my partner but it’s just annoying to have desire but no blood flow. I’ve discovered recently that this process could take 2 years to...

Ok I was flatlining close to the end of my addiction because I didn't let myself escalate into really depraved stuff. I'm currently on my longest streak of 4 days. Not that impressive but my flatline sucks. My brain tells me that I don't want to ever like girls. It's not just that I don't feel...

Hello fellow nofap brothers.. Today I will hit the 30 mark days for the 3rd time in 4 years(3rd time's a charm isn't?) A bit of background about myself. 37, single. Started fapping very early probably around 8 years old at porn and bikinis magazines... Then came the high speed internet...

Hi all newbie here... I found a post that explained the flatline process but can’t for the life of me find it now... Can anyone help me?

Hi everyone, I am new here. So today is my 7th day of NoFap and I have been doing great the last days. But my problem is that I am in my finals of school, I will write 4 big tests like at the beginning of July. And I am scared that I could get into flatline a few weeks before the tests and in...

Hi all I’m now day 14 of nofap. Does anyone else not feel any sexual urges while rebooting? I think I have depression as well which could also be the cause of this as well I guess flat line Just wondered if anyone else felt like this?

Everyone-- I'm starting this thread, called "Dreams and Goals" Post one dream or goal that you would like to do. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE NOFAP! I'll get the ball rolling... I dream of changing the world one day.

Hi guys, I'm hoping this is the right area to post this- apologies if not. Sorry for the Novel, I need to fully explain my situation. I'm seeking advice from any guy around my age who has successfully rebooted with a partner. I'm 22 and I've been in a relationship with an amazing girl for the...

I began this streak in Dec 2018 and I’m currently on a 78 day streak. I had flatlined almost throughout the month of January but then in February I had so much energy and motivation to do whatever I wanted and I was really social but ever since the last week of February, even though I’m still...

I just experienced a sudden change in mood such as low libido, loss of concentration and anxiety after catching a sexual ad accidently from a tv series. I know this isn't a relapse as it was only for 2 sec and it wasn't my intent to view them at all but I felt different and horrible after the...

Hey fellow fapstronuats, I need an opinion on whether my journey so far can be considered a success or not. On September 31st 2018 I fapped and felt disgusted and livid with my existence. I ran into this website and felt very energized to come across people who were going through similar...

I'm on a flat line process, i think u guys call when your libido goes to the floor Flat Line. How can i survive at flat line days? Like, i know my buddy will UP some hour, but why is so hard during a flat line? It's my first flat line ever. i felt something like this two or three times, but...

Hey guys I'm gonna talk about my succes story with ED. I hope this post don't be a trigger. That was the reason I started nofap. I was 21yo dating a 31yo woman that I met on the internet. We've been on online dating for about 2 months and we dicided to meet each other in real life. Her aunt had...

Hello guys! This is my first post. I am not sure how number of NOFAP days are displayed in post. This is my 34th day without watching porn and masturbation. And I am really surprised that I did it. I am 35 years old and since age of 15, I dont remember when I didnt watch porn or didnt do...

Hello guys! This is my first post. I am not sure how number of NOFAP days are displayed in post. This is my 34th day without watching porn and masturbation. And I am really surprised that I did it. I am 35 years old and since age of 15, I dont remember when I didnt watch porn or didnt do...

Hi guys, I've been on a serious reboot for 6 months now, with only 2 relapses and these consisted of only seeing some images for a few minutes. Now I'm having sex with my girlfriend but I have flatline symtoms every time I orgasm. Not only that but the erections are only 80% during sex. I no...

When I first started NoFap, I thought, "Oh this part is easy because you won't get erections, so you're not attempted to PMO. The sadness during a flat line can't be that bad." After many failed attempts, I've finally started a streak again and hit the flat line. The flat line has helped me...

Hi all, 14 days in hardmode, and in a flatline - no urges since the start. When libido returns, how will I know? Will I eventually get erections from just looking at attractive girls? Or do I need to actually get intimate with one to find out?

Hey guys always during my reboot journeys so far I start them full of confidence and my mood starts to change to the best and then after two weeks or so I see that I'm frequently angry and sometimes depressed and my emotional state is freaky and changing constantly . Is it due to flat line ...

Hi fellow Fapstonauts, I'd like to ask you what you define under the terms flatline and PIED. During my hard mode reboot I'm experiencing zero sexual interest in women. I like to be in their company, but don't even think about having sex with them. Does that mean I'm in flatline? I also...

hello guys, I have a question for you that still is not very clear. If I overcome the flatline, I mean If I recover morning erections, start feeling horny again... does this mean that I am recover from PIED? This is my 30th day anniversary without PMO and the struggle is starting to bit more...

Hello Everyone, Before i start my thread this is a brief about me: -25 years old -no job -no girlfriend (still virgin) -no friends either -no morning wood (i don't remember since when but it is maybe over a 2 years) -healthy body -foggy brain -social anxiety -depression -no goals in life -guilty...

Little info about me: I'm 20 years old and been pmoing since i was 12. I started NOFAP (Hard) because PMO has been detrimental to my life in every possible way. Currently on day 49 (personal record). I could continue easily but i feel like my flatline will never end! I want that energy and...

So I'm fairly sure I've been in flatline from the moment I started this challenge (90 day hard mode) I'm not having strong urges, I've seen lots of triggers and I'm not feeling a drive or any compulsion. I've been working out and dieting hard, and also quit coffee. I was PMOing multiple times a...

Over the years I have heard women claim that they have lost interest in sex--usually because they haven't had any for some time period. Could this simply be a version of flatline for them?

I’ve got symptoms on day 50 where I feel like my head is about to explode, my eyes are teary, throat is numb and there are aches and pains throughout my body. There is also a dull ache in my right testicle and I cannot sleep as I had a coffee earlier in the day. As far as I’m aware I haven’t...

Hello all. I hav not relapsed even once in past 87 days.Overall in the last 160 days i hav masturbated only once. I have noticed the following effects on my body since i started NoFap 1) My penis has changed its appearance it is more longer when it gets erected than wider. 2) On some days my...

Hi everyone, I'm 19, and recently just got out of a 2 year relationship with a very bad breakup (was broken up w/, too many fights for us to keep it going). In addition to this, I have been on hard mode for 17 days now, prior to this had just been O with my ex; watching porn here and there but...

I'm finding NoFap easy chiefly because I flat-lined pretty much immediately on day one. This didn't bother me at first - as I have never suffered from ED - but now I'm becoming a little bit concerned. I am deliberately avoiding putting myself in situations where sex is the likely result...

So lately I have been realizing that last summer, I was about 1000x happier than I am this summer. i went to London a couple of days ago, and I also went at the exact same time last year. BUT, I loved it last year, it was great, but this week for some reason something was wrong. Something felt...

Hey, Here's my story in short: 23 years old, have been PMO-ing regularly for the last four years. Have been trying noFap for last year or so. Went through a streak of 2 weeks for two times before my current streak. I have been abstaining for the last one month now. The last 9-10 days have been...

Just joined the site. Any insights about what I type below would be appreciated, as I'm evaluating my life choices heavily. This is a lot of stuff I have never even discussed anonymously on the internet before. I've been struggling for a long time. I want love and affection, I just don't try...

Hello, everyone! So I've been on NoFap for a while now and for the second time I've hit a flatline. The first time I gave in on the first day because I got huge headaches. Now. I feel so much better, full of energy and positivity. I hit a flatline a few days ago and I realise that I don't...
