    Ok it's been over 3 weeks now since i stopped fapping. In the first week of reboot, I used to have an overexcited libido and be super duper horny, especially during certain periods of the day like early morning and around noon time, and it was hard for me to control my urges. But now, I don't get the same sex drive and anything related to sex looks flat. Is it normal to be in such a state? What do I do? Is this behavior reversible? Kindly help.

    It’s completely normal man. It’s all part of the rebooting process. You lose your libido and sex drive for a stretch during your initial withdrawal phases but you’ll eventually get it back even stronger than before. Keep this in mind, as it can catch you off guard when it happens and trick you into a relapse. Just keep pushing on ahead man. No libido is a very minor symptom compared to what you can and might face ahead. Look at it as a good thing as right now you won’t have any temptations while your urges are gone.

    Thanks bro..that's reassuring. I'll take care of the pitfalls as well. I am really determined to overcome my addiction and I shall do whatever it takes.

    Im in a similar boat to you OP. A few times over the last few weeks Ive gotten an erection (normally just a semi and short lasting)

    Since the chaser effect has left (around day 4-5 Ive been pretty much flat below the belt)

    Im hoping to break out of this soon but I recognize how much damage Ive done over the years so I must be patient.

    This is a phase that I have never experienced, as I have forever been aroused and thus fapped like an idiot every time. This phase is a little unsettling for me because the body is not used to such flat-lines and brings in a bit of anxiety. But I am sure I would be better after some time. I think my brain is getting rewired for good, because now when I am alone, I do not get thoughts about watching porn, which was just not the case earlier. Probably, it will take some time to be not flat-lined again because I've had such a long addiction. Hoping to become 'normal' soon.
