Does this indicate end of flat-line?

Discussion in 'Rebooting - Porn Addiction Recovery' started by Deleted Account, May 6, 2023.

  1. 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 advice. I don't want to masturbate to end my current, hard-earned 34-day streak. But I'm now aroused most of the time and finding it incredibly difficult to concentrate on anything at the moment.

    Should I go and see some hooker just as a quick fix? Escorting is legal in my country and this morning out of curiosity I browsed through several escort profiles on a website and found an attractive lady in early 40s who I find incredibly attractive. She's got excellent reviews. It's not a porn site but rather a directory. Any suggestions here? I feel lost. I think the fear of STDs is what's keeping me from meeting a hooker. I'm single and have always been an introvert. Dating is out of question for the time being owing to my preoccupation with with work and some graduate level engineering courses I'm taking for professional reasons.

    Will meeting a hooker break my NoFap streak?

    Whats up man,i was in a similar situation as yours on my last streak of 39 days as i just coulndt hold my sexual charge i told myself that i needed a "fix",i tell you what man from my experience i didnt feel fullfilled after that it was like i was masturbating with that womans body there was no intimancy whatsoever im never going down that road again its a much darker and unfullfilling thing you can do other than porn especially if you have a porn addiction,my advice is dont do it i would consider it as a relapse, i found that it was not worth it now im on day 47 still going through withdrawal but i know it will pass

    Just so I understand, why would you visit an escort if you are trying to keep your streak?
     
  4. Thanks for your thoughts.

    It's been really difficult for me over the past couple of days, as I think my flatline phase has come to an end. I decided on not meeting an escort, though admittedly more out of my fear of catching some STD than anything else. I distracted myself with house chores, went out for a 1 hour long weekly shopping trip and started reading a book.

    This is for the first time ever that I've even managed to hit day 34. I'm determined to hit the 90 day mark.

    56 more days to go!
     
  5. If I'm not wrong, having sex doesn't break a streak; it's masturbation that's to be avoided.

    Oh I see.

    I think its dependant on what you yourself are trying to achieve and your symptoms. I think most people wil do no PMO, but if you are trying to avoid masturbation then abstaining from it makes sense.
