    Hi friends! Day 51 for me today and i am truly feeling the ups and downs of this nofap thing. I was in a complete flatline for the first 40 days of my reboot, flaccid shrunken dead dick. Then I started to see some improvements. I noticed my dick was growing back to its normal size. It didnt feel as numb as before and I was starting to get my libido back. I even got morning wood 3-4 times. I was able to have sex on Day 43 and started feeling good about myself since I was recovering.

    Then this. The flatline has returned over the last 3 days. Dick feels dead again and has kinda shrunk. Absolutely no libido. Obviously, this has made me a bit depressed.

    I have tried to analyze what I have done differently over the last week that may have caused me to regress and here they are.

    1. I had sex twice. Day 43 and 49. The first time I got hard with minimal touch and the sex was good. Second time, I needed help from my girl and the sex sucked for me.

    2. I had started doing kegel exercises on Day 35 and for no good reason stopped after Day 43. I noticed major improvements just after a week of these exercises. Not sure if there was a correlation but starting today I am getting back on the kegel wagon.

    3. I stopped fantasizing completely on Day 35. The last 3-5 days I have been fantasizing a few times a day and make myself get hard (and as a result, temporarily stopped being depressed about this whole PIED situation).

    I am not sure if others have had similar experiences where you saw improvement then started going backwards again but I would like to know. I have decided to be very strict about doing my kegels daily and stop fantasizing completely again. Hoping to get back on track again.

    Morning wood, normal/high libido, got erect with little to no touch, enjoyed sex and did not go soft while intercourse.

    I'll raise my hand admit to a pretty much constant flatline since the beginning. I woke up with morning wood once about ten days in, and have had a semi-erection once or twice in the last week or so, but I feel neither physical nor psychological urges. In my own case however, I accepted this as not only being possible, but was even willing to accept it as the new status quo. I'm not advocating this for anyone else, nor do I personally wish for this to be the status quo, but it was a bridge I felt willing to cross in order to see how I operated without PMO. Between PMO and occasional alcohol binges (four or five heavy drinks in a sitting), I was keeping myself as nice compliant steer. I find without the PMO I'm more concerned about myself, my surroundings, my future and the world in general. I think it also helps to understand that, like much of biology, flatlines are cyclical - they come, but more importantly, they also go.

    Flatlines happen, there is often more than one, and they can take a long time to cross, but even the Rub' al Khali has an end.

    You've got to put in the hard yards, just like your man Dan.

    You've got this.

    I'm going complete hardmode. No P, no M, no O. Period. So I really can't tell you what it was like after I had sex.

    That being said, however, I've read that orgasms can set you back. Check out rebootnation.org if you haven't already. Gabe (the guy that started the site) took 9 months.

    My goal is to only have sex when I get fully aroused by my wife, and to only orgasm inside her.

    I'm almost at six months, without a lot of progress on the PIED, but I'm strong, and I'm going to keep going.

    Best of luck to you!
