Now it says 16!
It's been a few weeks since I've posted, but I wanted to share my progress. As I write this my counter says 37 days since my last PMO. I did MO once about a week ago, but more on that in a bit. The audience for this post isnt for the guys that have experienced Flat Lining, it's for the guys just starting to break their addiction and the absolutely frustrating next phase coming to them.
My first couple weeks were all about redirecting my attention and getting through the urge to masturbate to porn. My triggers were boredom, alone time, mornings - especially Sunday mornings for some reason, and stress. I made my 15 day goal by reading posts here and keeping myself busy with other things.
My GF and I continued to have sex 3 - 5 times a week and have done this fairly consistently for many months. But at around day 15 of this crazy process, I began to prematurely ejaculate while we were having sex. Worse, around day 20, I got completely derailed and I was just not feeling sexual. Not only that, I began experiencing absolutely ZERO response to physical stimulation. ED was back with a vengeance, partnered with zero sex drive on my part. Day after day after day. My GF began to think I wasn't interested in her, but we did a LOT of talking and hugging and learning (she's awesome).
Over the past couple weeks I came back here and YBOP.com and read everything I could on Flat-Lining. Holy crap, it's scary. Not only was I not getting an erection, but my damn dick shrank too!! This went on for about 2 weeks and I seriously panicked. On about day 30 I decided to see If I could get myself hard and couldn't. 2 days later I tried again and although I did manage to MO but it was weird and mis-timed.
However, on about day 30 everything flipped back on like a light switch!! I got hard while kissing, stayed that way while we warmed up and had an incredible 4 day weekend of sex and intimacy.
I'm pretty sure the Flat-line isn't over, but I can see that it will be eventually - and PIED will become another healed-over scar that is part of my past, but doesn't hurt anymore.
So, for you guys that have not begun the Flat-line yet; This phase will probably be the time you'll want to stop-quitting and relapse - but just stay focused on your goal a little longer... this process works and will fix your PIED.
