Flatline since day 1

therapeutic approach

 

I flatlined pretty quickly once I stopped pmo. I'm doing it without a partner. Libido came back more noticeably around day 150. Here is a list of long flatlines: https://old.reddit.com/r/NoFap/comments/37cprv/heres_a_list_of_long_flatlines_to_give_you_hope/

 

i also flatlined from day 1...it got so bad that i had to see if it worked with some P and obviously i relapsed :/ This time i dont give a crap about flatline.. I hit the gym 3-4 times a week and fill my life with things i enjoy and Im planning on just riding it out and see what happens over time. Let it take whatever time it takes.

 

It's a common trap that people fall into. They wonder if their dick still works or will ever work again and decide to "test" it. Stay the course my friend. There are thousands of men who have gone through the same thing. Just realise that you will eventually come out of the flatline and enjoy not having to fight urges all the time while it lasts. Just be careful that when the urges finally come back that they don't catch you off guard and you have plan in place. Good luck!

 

Yes man, read some posts and you will find that is not very uncommon. I had never watched porn again, they are meaningless to me now. I had 2 real sex on day 416 amd day 434, srs PE, but was able to finish. So, some process but still working on it.

 

that's insane
@Freeddom_Taker are you gonna give a try to transcranial magnetic stimulation

Thanks a lot for your wise words but unfortunately, I did fell for it after 10 days of no PMO. And the worse part of it is that I was purposely doing it. My flatline seems to have been short lived and around day 5/6, I started having urges. Libido-wise, it is mixed - some days I am horned up, some days I am not. Most people seem to go through a pattern of battling urges followed by complete flatline whereas I am going through peaks and troughs alternating between flatline/no urges and urges.

On day 3 of reset right now.

 

I don't think its serious PE. You haven't touched yourself in a year so of course, you are going to have troubles to last long. In the past, when I didn't jerk off for a week or so, I would cum almost immediately. It's normal. You just need to have regular sex I guess or maybe masturbate once a week or at least before you are gonna hook up?

 

Afraid to.....bro
Rather the slow approach

 

I think I'll start with CBD oil
anything that can kickstart my brain again

 

Good luck man!!!

 

I know this effect you're talking about. Dead dick... I know exactly how that feels, like when it gets numb on a cold bike ride and I have to check it hasn't fallen off. It reminds me of the line from Frank Zappa 'my balls feel like a pair of maracas'. And, like others who wrote here, I would get it especially after 'edging' i.e. porn and bashing my poor dick but not coming (which could go on and on for nightmarish hours). That would really screw up my nervous system so I couldn't sleep.

I just see it as my sexual energy being 'empty'. If I'm already empty why would I want to release semen? It's the same in my normal sex life with my wife (I never thought about porn when we were together but we have been apart a lot due to circumstances over the past couple of years and my habit has come back). After sex I would feel 'empty' for a while, a few days actually, maybe I'm getting old. 'Maids when you're young never wed an old man.'

The way I see it, my body is telling me to have a rest for a while. There's no way I'm going to force myself to get aroused because I think I ought to be. I listen to my body, not my thoughts and ideas. I don't feel any pressure to perform, whether for myself or my wife. If my sexual energy is empty, I can pleasure her other ways, worship her body, and I find that very emotionally satisfying. Sometimes that way I'll get an erection and make love to her without coming. That's also very satisfying and relaxing. It warms up my whole body.

 

Thanks for saying this. I started again since 20th Jan this year..... My dick has no life, it has really shrunk and no morning wood.

 

Flatilining since day 1 too. No urges, no libido, no morning wood. 90+ days man. Im getting worried.......... I quit weed today and I hope that help me to get morning woods. I dont think I am man anymore.... and this is killing me.............

 

how are you doing nowadays

 

over a year bro?

 

yeah man, I prefer not to, but it's not that something I could control...
