    Hey everyone,

    Perhaps it's the geek in me. I have a masters in education.

    There are many questions about flatline that we really don't know. Scientists has NO clue on this so I thought we'd pool our experiences together and perhaps come up with some theories on this and perhaps answer some of the questions. Starting from the most obvious and simple to the most complex questions. I know Dopamine is one of the biggest and most obvious factors in causing flatline but I'm curious to know your theories.

    1) Why do we have a flatline? What is the purpose of this?
    2) Do we know where the flatline area in the brain is affected?
    3) Why do some men have short flatline stages? Why do other men have long flatline stages?
    4) Why are there some men that doesn't go through flatline stages?
    5) Are there definitive stages of flatline?
    6) Does flatline affects all addictions (porn, masturbation, and orgasm)? Keep in mind, some here don't have porn addiction, but have masturbation addiction.


    We understand a lot about the addiction process in porn, masturbation and orgasm, but we really don't know much about flatlines.

    Anyone has any good theories on how to answer those questions?

    Discuss. Please be respectful toward each other. I'm puzzled myself. It's a pain in the a** to have flatline this long, so I'd like to learn more about this so to make myself be more motivated toward my recovery process.

    Well bro flatine is something normal. It's something that is combined with a lot of other thing which I will explain right now:
    1- the age : the older you get the lower you testerone get. It doesn't happen all at once but you testerone level start going down gradually when you reach certain age. So a boy in his twenties is not the same as a man in his late forties or fifties or whatever.
    2- the food : some food increase testerone levels like watermelon, pomegranates, coffee and all other food check some websites that list food that increase testerone level. So you might be diffecient in vitamins b6 or b12 or other that support sexual health.
    3 finally- dopamine receptors : our dopamine receptors got fucked up pretty bad because of many years of abusing our brain. It depends on how many years you have been exposed to porn and how heavy on porn you were. So when you watch porn or masturbate you brain release insane amount of chemicals including dopamine. Which nothing in reality can match the fantasy in porn. That's why women in reality doesn't excite you as much as the one in porn. Literally you missed up you dopamine receptors to only respond to the porn fantasy supranova that's why you get flatline and nothing excite you.
