Hi, I started nofap on 1st October. Today is 28th day without PMO. I am now experiencing physical improvements like no weakness anymore, improved memory, better facial hair etc. But my concern is erection. I remember I could get it hard just after a thought before PMO. But now it is impossible without touching or stimulation with hand. Though I get morning erections rock hard. Has anyone here regained this? I mean would I be able to get erection with thoughts and not touching? What can I do additional to get that ability? Thanks
Maybe you're flatlining. I wouldn't be concerned with erection, it will get good anyway after you are 90days +
Thanks bro, Would flatline decrease my libido? And how long is the flatline in 90 days. My girlfriend would kill me she doesnt know.
I agree with @AChosenPeople, you are flatlining. It will pass. Not sure how long it'll talke you though. Hang in there, 28 days is great. Tell her. You'll feel better for it: she will know you better and, if she's like my wife, be impressed at your comitment to her and supportive of your efforts to rid your life of porn.
The duration of a flatline depends. Flatline= low/no libido. But I still think you can have sex succesfully during a flatline.
Im on day 28 too. The morning woods are significan weaker (they started to get stronger after the first two weeks). Although I still get an erection with thoughs of PMO (flashbacks are less frequent), I also get erections with sitiations in my every day life with real women (thats new). My dick is starting to get more sensitive, probably a benefit of avoiding touching it, I advice the same to you.
Thanks, I am from India. Girls are not that understanding or supportive here unless she becomes wife. Well If it doesnt affect sex its all good.
So guys here is an update with some positive changes. I and my girl planned to meet on 30th october and it was also the 30the day of PMO. I was skeptic about my erection due to flatline. I used a blue pill and wow! it worked. So for the day it helped me. We had a great time and she loves me more now. I also convinced her for no sex for next 90 days... But the O of PMO relapsed on 30th to save my relation. Its 31 days old PM and one day old PMO now. Now from yesterday (30th) I am getting erections every now and then whenever I think of her. I thought its because of the blue pill. But it works only for few hours right? Anyways it feels good to have things kind of back on track. I am a bit sad for 'O relapse. But no PM for now 31 days. Lets see what else is there.
During long reboot an orgasm will spark the libido. It's called the chaser effect. If u O too much it can send you into a tailspin. I've been tricked by this too many times to count. Stay on the wagon
