The only truth about superpowers and flatline

Hi guys.

First of all - It's about this scale -> DOPAMINE - SCALE - TOLERANCE - QUICKSAND

0 is the normal baseline. This is the normal dopamine base line level. When you reach this level you are healed. You can work, study, talk to people, do sports. You have motivation and feel joy. You function completely normally in society. The world is completely normal. When a person has reached the normal baseline, he has the so-called superpowers/benefits. No more explanation is needed. Others report: It's all in 3D. You see everything better. Everything sounds so good. You don't have brain fog, etc. Everything feels so real and vivid. You have charisma, magnetism,very high libido, etc. This all comes because you reached normal baseline / normal dopamine-levels.

-10 to -90 is under the normal baseline but not in the quicksand. These people have symptoms but are still able to lead somewhat normal, everyday lives. They can work, study, have a social life, play sports, etc. But it's still not a pleasant life. Still, these people aren't in quicksand. Many of us were at this level during our PMO days. Many of us have been doing PMO almost daily and we have never given our brain (dopamine) the chance and time to recover and get back to normal baseline levels. I can hardly imagine anyone being at the normal baseline during their PMO-time. Some guys stopped doing PMO and they went from -30 to -40, or from -50 to -70, or some (very rarely) ended up in quicksand, i.e. at -100.

-100 is the quicksand. That would be an extreme dopamine deficiency, so that you can no longer function in society at all. You can't study, work, play sports, read a book, have a social life. This extreme dopamine deficiency (quicksand level) is a very bad form of anhedonia. You have no motivation at all for the most normal things. It's like you're disabled.

->

Since many of us have done PMO for years and therefore been below baseline for years, we have gotten used to it. That's why it feels so intense for us when we stop PMO and our dopamine levels return to normal baseline. Then everyone reports about the so-called nofap superpowers/benefits.

These superpowers/benefits then remain temporary for some days, a few weeks or a maximum of 2 months. This is called the “pink cloud”. Everything feels so good but only temporary.

After the “pink cloud” you fall back below the normal baseline. So the dopamine is back below the normal baseline. Then you are in the flatline. Others call it PAWS (post acute withdrawal symptoms or POIS (post orgasmic illness syndrome). It doesn't matter how you call it. It simply means dopamine deficiency.

Then when they are in the flatline, everyone wonders when they will get their “superpowers/benefits” back and why they suddenly feel so bad. Many people don't understand anything about dopamine and then relapse all the time.

Only through time and abstinence will you get back to the normal dopamine baseline and once that happens, you always have the so-called "superpowers/benefits". A life long! As long as you don't do anything that destroys the dopamine baseline, like alcohol, drugs, medication, etc.

I don't know how long it can take for the dopamine to return to normal levels, but according to my research it takes a maximum of 5 years. Some are cured after 1, 2, 3 or 4 years. It's a little different for everyone. However, I believe that those who start with PMO in childhood and adolescence have alonger flatline than those who started with PMO in adulthood.

That's it. That's the only truth about superpowers and flatline. It is easily explained and easy to understand.

Cheers

 

Can you function somewhat in society? e.g. work or study, maintain social contacts, pursue sports and hobbies, etc.? If you can do that, but it is uncomfortable because you have symptoms like brain fog, anhedonia, etc. Then you are below the normal baseline level, but not in quicksand. So this means you are between -10 and -90. Somewhere inbetween.

If you can't do that, then you're like an invalid. So then you're in quicksand. This means you are at -100. I was for sure in quicksand for 47 months...

So you can find out for yourself where you stand.

Most of us are below normal baseline levels, but not in quicksand. Nobody can say where exactly whether -50 or -60. One can only estimate this.

 

At least you're not in the quicksand.

 

With pleasure. I understand you. Don't give up.
