Tomorrow will be 2 weeks of no PMO and I have had no desire to watch porn. Although I have no desire to watch porn I do have sparks of libido (slight arousal due to somewhat naughty texts this girl has been sending me). Those sparks of libido aren't due to the fact that I'm fantasizing about porn when I get these texts, but rather from reading the text itself. In these two weeks I've gotten 5 morning woods. 3 of which were kind of weak, but 2 that were strong and today has marked 3 in a row (1 hard, 1 medium, 1 soft). I'm just curious because I have no desire to watch porn which would lead me to believe I'm in a flatline, but I'm getting morning wood again and also getting slightly aroused just simply from reading a text without any form of fantasizing. Someone help me out!
Am I Flatlining or Nearing a Flatline?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but this type of flatline makes me feel like I'm making good progress in the reboot. Right? Because I've heard a lot of people on here say their dick feels numb and lifeless but mine doesn't. I've woken up the past 4 days in a row with something going on downstairs ranging from 40%-85%. If this is an actual flatline this doesn't seem bad. Hopefully this is a sign that I'll be able to receive oral or even real sex in the near future (week or two). What do you think?

don't know, once again the time necessary to recover differs from one person to another. Still I would recommend the more the better, like at least 8 weeks off PMO and off MO. In my case, I know that my recovery is on the good track, but still I believe i need at least this complete 8 weeks off PMO and off MO.
I m no expert, but i guess experiencing the flatline is a sign that your brain is recovering, is enjoy not to have to run so much after the next dopamine fix. So it s a good sign, and I ve had wet dreams ( but no ejaculation ) and morning wood during my flatline. The first week I even had wet dreams with porn.
My advice is just don't push, don't run after it, give you 3 months of full rest from sex.

The only thing is I'm with a girl right now that really wants to do that stuff. I had a wet dream (no ejaculation) about making out with a girl that I know so I guess that's a good sign. I'm assuming the most intense flatline comes once you immediately stop at PMO. Some guys say they feel "on top of the world" a week or two after they start their reboot then they hit flatline hard. I haven't felt on top of the world nor have I felt like I've flatlined hard. Hopefully this means I'm recovering quicker. Does that sound logical or am I completely in left field?

experience differs from one guy to another, overall it seems we feel a lot of ups and downs. If you have a girl friend, that s great cause you can rewire with a real partner, rewiring seems even more important than rebooting. Just don t go for the organs, you can have sex, a lot of cuddling, for plays etc, but try to avoid orgasm.
You should also tell her that you have ED but that the doc says its mending, so you can take off the pressure if thing don t go well the first times

She understands that I want to wait. I'm still gonna do stuff to her (eat out, finger, etc.). What's bad about an orgasm with her? I've heard some people say it may cause you to binge PMO, but my will power is stronger than that and I know that it would be a very bad thing for my reboot. So why avoid orgasm with a real partner?

some said that it set them back during their reboot. In a yeah, most of our orgasm have been caused by PMO, so in the time you give your brain to rest, it s cool to give him a rest for that too. I ve also read that having an orgasm, while orgasm are still so tightly linked to PMO, maintain the bad sex pathways in our brain that have been build along years of porn addiction.
Most of the guys say hard mode is the fastest way to recover and hard mode is no PMO, no MO , and no O. Now you also have guys who are successful while having orgasm with real partners. It s up to you, but if you will power is so strong and that she understands, 2 months without orgasm can't be bad
have fun while rewiring

Hmm. Maybe O every once in a while? And only with her. Because if I can have sex during the reboot then I feel I've gotten what I need out of the actual reboot. Obviously that doesn't mean I'll go back to PMO, but if my situation is good enough to the point where I can have sex I'm happy. I've given up on porn though. Never gonna use that stuff again.
