I was thinking to start nofap in August 2017. I marked 18 August to be the starting point. But, I got into flatlining accidently, I couldn’t watch porn because someone came to live with me. So, by the 18th I had absolutely no urge and my penis was dead. I got worried and went to the doctor and physically everything turned out to be fine. In a week or so, real woman started to arouse me but I had no urge to masturbate or watch porn. On 5th September I went to an escort so see how I perform. It was not really good. After that, every 15 days or so I have real sex. The 15 days recharging forces me to think about woman and make me sensitive hence when it happens I “finish” before it gets hard. The problem is I can’t figure out If I am still flatlining or there is some serious problem. I like looking at woman and pictures, I get morning wood sometimes, I do not have wet dreams (only once). My sexually urges are nowhere as strong as they used to be. Thinking about sex and woman just raises my heartbeat a little bit, but nothing more. Kissing a girl for a long time still doesn’t give me an erection. Reading from the posts, I am far from the condition of flatlining being over, but also not as dead as during the flatline. (Ps: I had severe porn addition, far beyond a normal sane person would have) Please Help, This is week 10, no hardcore stuff, but there have been imagination and pictures and pictures of those I had sex with. Can anyone relate?
Sounds like your flatline. But your also looking at pictures still which give you shots of dopamine. I do the same which slows recovery. Kind of like a little bit of heroin rather than a whole dose. Still messes with your brain
