Is NoFap worth the hassle if you flatline?

I'm not the most well-educated in biology but my understanding is that flatline is a temporary symptom of PMO abstinence. If you are on here to take more control over your day and thoughts, if you M there is always the risk of relapse into P, so always use discretion, know yourself.

 

I notice if I don't exercise through the day, if I am not working with my body, I get a stockpile and I get anxious and risk relapsing. Exercising is safer than masturbating imo. Just weigh your options out, knowing yourself, and your common triggers and vulnerabilities.

 

No because if you even get flatlines that does mean you have a porn addiction. I mean lets look at what flatlines actually are, withdrawl symptoms and you dont get withdrawl symptoms without an addiction. So if you somehow try to avoid it you are really just avoiding your addiction and everything will catch up to you.

When i say everything will catch up to you I mean that you can't keep doing this forever. If you keep doing this then you will start to feel literally no benefits on this little 7 days of nofap

 

I mo without porn once a week and feel fine tbh. For me porn is the real enemy here, fapping isn't bad in moderation

 

Every week is not bad but your still p.m.o just straight nofap

 

Well, theoretically, it might work, but practically? One in million people actually stick to the plan of masturbating once per week. For regular people one session leads to two sessions and pretty soon you are back where you started.

 

If you are addicted, it is highly unlikely this will work. I will just speak from my experience. For me, masturbation and porn go hand in hand. The two complement each other. So when ever I resume masturbation I eventually find my way back to porn. For this reason I would advise all persons who have this challenge to avoid masturbation.

Secondly masturbation can desensitize the penis, a hand and vagina are just not comparable. The hand is rough by comparison. No amount of lotion can change this. This can reduce your level of stimulation during actual sex. Coupled with porn addiction, this can also inhibit you ability to maintain an erection during sex. You would much rather just masturbate than have sex, because your hand now feels better than a vagina. This should not be the case, no masturbation is best in my opinion.

Finally, what you really need is a partner to have sex with, we substitute PMO for the real thing. Stay PMO free, and when your body is feeling up to it, get our there and find yourself a mate.

Best of luck bro!

 

Without self-discipline to keep that once a week vow, you´ll relapse worse than that, I had similar ideas in the past, of fapping once every 2 days, then only fap once every 3 days, etc... and It doesnt work, you´ll relapse, in my case I relapsed so hard, I had "Peak Fapping" episodes where I fapped twice a day.
