    I've read something about the flatline, but I don't know, what this is...?

    From the Glossary:

    Flatlining: Many NoFap® users report one or more periods of zero libido during their streak, especially in the 2-6 week period. Transitioning from an overexcited, always-eager libido to none at all can be disconcerting and even scary for the experienced masturbator, but many Fapstronauts report that it is only a phase in the reboot and will pass.

    Basically, your body is adjusting to the changes in chemistry. It's a difficult time for a rebooter, because it will cause anxiety. "Oh crap?! What happened? Am I going to be impotent forever?"

    We can tell you all you want (which I don't see why you couldn't simply google it), but it's more of a feeling. You'll know when you hit it.

    1) Porn -> Large amount of Dop.

    2) Porn everyday - Brain gets alot of dop.

    3) Brain - Scared of such large amount of chemical. Reduces the receptors

    As a result you will seek more porn to get same pleasure.

    4) Now NoFap - Low triggers

    5) Low triggers - Low dop.

    6) Brain - Whats happening? I need dop. Withdrawl symptoms.

    7) No dop. - Dead dick.

    This is flatline.

    During flatline your brain will try to revert to original state.
