    Hey,
    Ever since I was 12 I masturbated and watched porn. I remember the beginnings when I could do it a couple of times per day and could get erections only by thought. I had many girlfriends when since I started puberty and had a great sex life although still jerked off to porn when I had a chance. I always excercised a lot. Since I turned 20 I started having problems with excessive stress and my escape route was to watch porn. I watched it every day for a period of time and that was when I could no more have real life sex. My erections problems were a thing for a while and had partially contributed to break up with my long-time gf. I started taking pills with l-arginine and orther chemicals that were supposed to help and they did I must say. After that time I had normal sex life in general but after breaking up again I decided to quit porn. I had no joy in my life, everything seemed dull and mundane to me. I've read that my dopamines could have been ripped and decided to quit porn and masturbation for good. For the last two years I only watched porn once, sometimes twice a week so it was easy in the short run. After more or less three weeks I had a chance to have sex with a women and it was one of the best in my life. But then the problems begun. For an unknown reason my sex drive dissapeared. I felt no need to have sex, no need to jerk off, no need to watch porn. Eventually I started dating and did not see that as a problem initially but then I got intimate with another women and could not mantain an erection. I was at a day 40 of my nofap (had sex with a women a couple of times tho) when my libido dropped. Today I feel like I need no sex and I get no erections unless I try real hard by touching myself. I get morning boners and that is the only time I get a boner during the day. I've read that some man get erections unprovoked several times during the day and that is not the case for me... I find it impossible to get it by any other means. Not even with a women. I'm really getting depressed due to this fact but still I don't want to get back to porn again... Please. If anyone knows how I can deal with this problem... Perhaps someone had similar flatline. Excuse my english for it is my second language.

    Most nofappers go through the same thing assuming they were addicted enough in the first place, it's your brain wanting/needing to take a break from all the sexual stimuli you've been giving it over the years. You can't watch porn once or twice a week, you have to cut it out completely. I'd also suggest that your libido will come back quicker if you take a break from real life sex as well.

    For me it took two months, all of that time I had zero libido but then it came back.

  4. It's normal , it's called the flatline period.

    I am in same phase dude. I cannot get the erectile by normal thought, and because of this reason I can’t even date my friend whom I like a lot. I have read a lot of success stories in this forum and decided to do 90 days challenge. It’s been a week now and haven’t seen any difference yet. Hope to see some good results after the end of this challenge. Please keep updating about your status, it will really motivate me and since you are already on your 40th day of nofap, let me know if it worth doing it.
    I hope you will have some positive outcomes in future!
