1 year of nofap, still having Flatline.

Hey guys,
I started this journey last year in February.
I'm 27 years old , i started fapping when I was 15 years old .
I used to fap atleast 5 times everyday for last 10 years with porn.

I reached to a point where I used to shake if I stand up, always brain fog, i was living in a hell.

I'm 1 year into NoFap and I am still flatlining. But I have noticed some differences.
1. More colour sensitivity - I decreased my brightness of my phone to 0 and I can clearly see the screen.
2. No brain fog.
3. Increased energy.
4. More attraction from women.
5. More glow on face - This is what I want to share, earlier when I was a pmo addict, my face was always oily like shit. I had black circles below my eyes which never used to go away.
And now, my skin is soft, radiating, glowing and there is so much more attraction on my face.
6. My eyes have become much bigger.
7. I feel libido now sometimes and it is so much better than urges. I want to really make love to a woman.
I used to ask questions on nofap 1 year ago like what is real libido.
Well now I can answer - real libido is your heart starts beating faster, you feel your chest tensed up, your mouth gets dry and you want to penetrate a woman very badly.
This is what real libido is. You will find average looking women sexy.

8. More concentration - when I study I can concentrate more and I can remember things for much longer and my recall power is amazing now. Thanks to nofap.

But my problem is I'm still flatlining most of the time . I had few wet dreams but that's fine, i don't regret it. But I don't know how much longer flatline will last.
I had terrible withdrawal symptoms like suicide tendency, depression, anxiety, panic attacks etc but now all of them are gone, the only symptom left is libido without erection. I feel libido but I don't get erection but I think within few months it will be ok..

So guys if you think nofap is full of shit and useless then just do it.
You will see difference in 30 days.
It took me 1 year to see these changes but its totally worth it. I was severe case of pmo addiction. I was extreme case fapping 5 times everyday for 10 years.
If you are less addict then you can be cured early. Just hang in there.

Good luck guys.

 

Its up and down for me.
Some days I get erection (morning wood) sometimes not.

The process of erection is very different than most guys think,
When you see a hot woman you must have an erection in ideal situation.

But since we watched porn and forced an erection then brain realised there is no need for erection, the dude will himself stroke the penis and get erection,
And second damage is fapping on limp penis,
I reached to a point where I used to fap with a limp penis so my brain got used to ejaculation without erection which ultimately lead to premature ejaculation.

I think I'm on right path, but I think I will 1 more year to completely heal.

 

Any idea how long its gonna take me to be completely ok?

 

1. Brain fog is quite often used in nofap community. You can search Google "brain fog nofap".
Its actually always heaviness in brain as it crave dopamine.

2. Colour sensitivity depends on the sensitivity of dopamine. When you don't pmo the brain increases density of dopamine receptors so you hear and see better.

3. I used to shake means that I had terrible social anxiety and whenever I used to stand or talk to anyone my feet used to shake (its part of social anxiety)
But now, i don't shake anymore and my social anxiety is significantly reduced.

I think I might need 1 more year to completely be fine.

 

It's a roller coaster ride dude.
70% of time in in flatline so I don't get too much trouble.
But about 30% of time in 1 year I got insane urges. I felt like a horn dog ready to hump anything that's moving.

I don't miss it. The idea of porn now just makes me nauseating maybe because I know how destructive it is.
It's a long long journey man.
Since I was lucky to have known nofap community otherwise I would have feared the flatline and I would have capped but now I know its normal so I'm hanging in.

How long were you addicted?

 

We both have almost same length of pmo addiction.
Mine also around 12 years.
How many times you did it everyday?
I used to do almost 5 times everyday for 10 years.
Just hang in there man. We all are together investing this pmo monster.

 

Yes, i read someone had flatline for 2 years.
If it takes me 2 years fine, its already 1 year.
I'm extreme case of pmo addict so I might take 2 years to completely heal.

 

I haven't tried watching porn , but I can say that I was watching a movie and a hot scene came and I can feel some tingling in my penis and my heart started beating faster which I never experienced during my pmo days.

 

Brain fog is like always confused state of mind with heaviness.
You know like, if someone is talking to you and his words don't reach to your brain and youre kinda lost in your world?
I attended a lecture after doing pmo and trust me , i felt like a curtain has been removed and I could clearly understand what other person is trying to say.

You can think it like this,
During pmo - Life is SD television,
After nofap - Life is HD television, the sound , the colours, chirping of birds, taste of water, taste of food etc , you can literally feel those things extremely clearly.
You have to do it in order to feel it, it's unbelievable.
