This makes a lot of sense. I do see reports of PAS, but not many. That's why I am concerned that it's possibly Venous Leak, but I have brain fog and brain symptoms so I'm thinking that the dopamine in my brain has been fucked up.

Also for me I had this experience when I had few exams close by which. Since I was focused in that and nothin else (like literally I used only the phone for max 15 minutes) , the dopamine detox was so evident at the time when I was writing my exam and the aforementioned symptoms were almost nil. So give it a shot.

This is a common misunderstanding of the definition of the Flatline.

The Flatline is a sudden lack of erections, depression-like symptoms, loss of libido, and low motivation; it is one of many withdrawal symptoms when rebooting from porn addiction. We only consider you in the Flatline if you are currently rebooting.

You are not experiencing the Flatline because you have not started your reboot yet. You are experiencing a host of issues that are caused by porn abuse. There is no name for it yet, but a good one could be Porn Abuse Syndrome (PAS).

The Flatline gets a lot of attention because its symptoms mimic the symptoms of PAS, even though they have very different root causes.

PAS is caused by desensitization and habituation in your brain's sexual rewards centers. You have conditioned your mind to find endless novelty, very attractive/hypersexual females, and associated actions (clicking, being alone, your bedroom, etc) to be much more rewarding than real life sexual encounters. Your brain has basically numbed your response to natural sources of pleasure.

The Flatline is caused by your brain freaking out that it's not getting it's porn fix, and shutting down the reward center so that nothing is enjoyable. It's your brain trying to trick you into going back to porn because it believes porn to be an incredibly rewarding natural activity. It's the same as going into withdrawal from drugs.

So people who "Flatline" before NoFap are not really Flatlining, they're just addicted to porn. People who are addicted to drugs and feel like shit all the time wouldn't say they're in withdrawal (the drug equivalent of the Flatline), they're in the throes of addiction. The desensitization happens before you start your streak, not during or after. Rebooting and having normal sexual relations "resensitizes" your brain to natural stimuli/

this needs to be stickied and pinned. thank you

I will add that i think its excess masturbation that causes 3/4 of these problems, not necessarily just porn. The two usually go together though
