How’s it going you two?
Hey dude, we’ll some of my physical symptoms went away but I still I am battling the depression. The flatline hasn’t been the greatest. I lost pleasure in things and in life. I miss my motivation. This weekend was weird for me. I saw my ex this Saturday which being around her kept me aroused. I haven’t seen her since September. I did drink a lot as well. I was kinda drunk but felt out of the flatline for a few hours. We had awesome sex multiple times through the night without failures to get it up and it actually felt like before I was in a flatline. I lasted longer multiple times and I didn’t have prejactulation. She definitely keeps me aroused now. I honestly don’t know right now how all that happened specially because sex before didn’t feel normal and I couldn’t last. The weird thing is she came back telling how she missed me and loved me. She said she wants to help me get through all this.

Dude that’s great news. I would argue that maybe you’re not in a flatline at all rather a depression of sorts. For my two cents, the more you’re with a real person the better. Good luck man. The sky is the limit. Happy for you.

Yeah I can definitely feel I’m still in flatline because I still don’t have motivation and don’t feel much in pleasure. I felt some attachment to my ex before but when were drunk I felt really close to her. Lol I’m get back the gym for sure because muscles are getting small. Thanks man

So, are you trying to get back together w your ex or what?
Honestly, she called me Friday telling me she was gonna help me get through my issues. I thought she was doing it is a friend and then Saturday I was her babe again. We went to a party and she introduced me as her boyfriend. I was really confused. She was telling me that she loves and missed me. She said she misses the old me preflatine. She probably regretted the break up so now she’s acting like nothing happened. 🤭 I am just gonna go along with it and see where it goes.

Right on thanks man. She just expressed to me how it was frustrating to understand what I have been going through, specially with my withdrawal symptoms which I don’t blame her. So time will tell how things go.

Yeah. My wife is frustrated by it as well and she has a very good understanding of what we’re going, and how we got there.

I’ll say this….I wouldn’t have made it this far without her.
Whether it works out ling-term who knows. But right now, worst case scenario is you’ve got someone to rewire with. Best case, something much more.

Good luck sir

Thank you very much man. I appreciate your support on my early days as well.

Few months i think. No flatlines anymore after 10months of nofap. I don't know if i'm healed or not but definetly the situation is not how i would like it to be. My libido fluctuates. I realized just recently that after the sex and ejaculation libido goes down quite heavily for few days and then it peaks again one week after the ejaculation. Reason is simple. My testo is low. Free testo is below reference values. I believe sex makes my testo go even more down and as we all know if one starts semen retention (after the ejaculation) his testosterone spikes up at the seventh day. It's pretty comforting to know that libido works somewhat regularly. So, now i'm having normal sex once a week and karezza between the ejaculations if my wife requires sex more often.

But ofcourse i would like to have steady libido and normal levels of testosterone. If this testo fluctuation does not end next year, perhaps it would be best for me to see a urologist at some point.

Does anyone have any info about testosterone and nofap? Is it possible that testo goes down because of decades of pmo? Is it possible to go up again if one does not PMO ever again?

Have you had your testosterone checked? If it is low, you could definitely get on low-t therapy and be rocking like an 18 year old again.

Yes i have. Free testo is below reference values, and total testo is just barely within reference values, at the low end. I don't have exact numbers just now. But i wonder if it's possible for baseline of testo to start rising when time passes for a former porn addict?. I have red a local doctor's writing about his recovering patient who was a drug user and his low testosterone started to rise after one year of sobriety. That gives me hope.

I don't want to make myself a disservice. I don't want to start low t therapy if there's even a slightest possibility that it will fix itself over time. But i actually will see a doctor next monday and demand more thorough testosterone examination again. Lets see what he says.

Here's the big question: i have now granted an opportunity to ask some blue pills. Should i? He propably will give me a prescription if i ask. I know this isn't a blood flow issue but i'm pretty curious of trying them.

I use viagra. There are folks in this forum that advise against it.
What’s your hesitation to do low-t therapy? If your levels rise naturally you could always stop. It would appear for all intents and purposes that that is a major issue in your life right now.

I believe therapy might stop my own production for good? I'm not sure if i'm even able to get the treatment because my total testo is within the reference values, it's normal, low(ish) but normal. Doctor will not give me any testo meds if i'm just fine according to his standards i'm affraid.

But lets see what he says. I'll report here as soon as i know.
