That's right, I'm a guy who pied, in the last reboot I did 60 days of hardmode and I had small improvements even if invisible over the days, then I fell back masturbating 3 times, without porn anyway, and started another series. In this series I have 36 days, at first I had crazy erections, and then they disappeared on the 20th and now I am in an absurd flat line ... I don't understand how these flat lines are made and why in this it is so obvious and in the old one no ... anyway the difference between these two restarts is that in that of 60 I was almost always together with my partner, without orgasm of course, instead in this I saw her only once in 36 days
As you can see, the subject of flat lines is a matter without head or tail, it is something speculative, without any kind of foundation, it is something completely psychological.
I never believed in flat lines and thanks to that, I never experienced any flat lines.
I'm almost a year into a hard reboot, and yet I've never experienced any flat lines during this long reboot, instead my momentum goes up and down, up and down, just like any normal human being.
I say this below without the intention of offending anyone and I say it from a very very personal position:
Flat lines only exist if you believe in it. If you don't believe in that, flat lines don't exist.
If there is something in these forums that has always seemed vague to me, it is the topic of flat lines.
However:
Suppose that at this moment you find yourself with a low sexual desire (which is also very normal in the human species):
What is the problem in being in that state?
Being in that state why should it be a cause for concern?
Isn't it better to be in that state to concentrate on other things in life, instead of being aware of things related to sex?
n this series I have 36 days, at first I had crazy erections, and then they disappeared on the 20th and now I am in an absurd flat line ...

For example: here in these ideas on your part, I see a very harmful trend for you and that is that, what I see here, is that you are very obsessive with this, in fact, you count the days in a very meticulous way with respect to to these things. Don't count the days, don't count the hours, just go and enjoy life, when you least expect it, you'll spend whole months, and you haven't even noticed.
This way of proceeding about counting the days, and being so aware of my body and its "supposed sexual reactions" seems to me !!! so harmful and negative""
The restart is not about counting days and being aware if I enter a "supposed flat line", no, no. That's not what the reboot should be about. The reset must be something very different from simply "counting the days" and keeping an eye on whether my penis is a certain size or shape today.
Rebooting is a rest, total rest from all forms of stimuli or contexts related to the needs of sex, because that is simply what rebooting is all about: forgetting about everything related to sex, for a mind (brain) that is feeling tired and that's why it can't respond as it should:
Reboot is not counting days.
The restart is not to be aware of my genitals
Rebooting Isn't Just Getting Away From Porn
The reset is not being stuck in a community forum obsessed with this topic every day by logging into these forums.
The restart is not to wait whether or not I enter a "supposed flat line"
Rebooting is not counting the days I've gone without porn and masturbating, or counting the days I've gone without sex. That does not work. In fact, if you take a good look at the YBOP (YOUR BRAIN ON PORN) page, they recommend not counting days, because that's not what restarting is about.
The reboot is all about YOU DISCOVERING WHAT YOUR LIFE IS LIKE WITHOUT BEING ADDICTED TO PORN. The reboot is about you DISCOVERING YOUR TRUE SEXUALITY AND YOUR TRUE STIMULI. To achieve this, it is necessary, and very urgent, to get completely (hopefully forever) away from internet porn and other media. But, it is also important to allow the brain and body to rest. If you've quit porn, are rebooting, and are still keeping an eye on your body sexually, counting down days and also trying sex for now, that means you're really messing up the rebooting process in some way.
To reboot properly you need to BE CALM. If you are counting days, that means you are not calm. That means that for you it is so shocking to have left porn, that you are still counting the days you haven't seen it.
