Nothing New

[LoneWolf]

I'm 9 days without PMO after being 15 days without PMO and relapsed and since de first day I lost the interest in sex and feeling no urges.
I simply feel nothing. No little improvement, no urge, no depression, nothing.
What's happening?

It's a very common phenomenon that most people who quit PMO experience sooner or later - it's called a flatline. It goes away after a while (usually weeks, sometimes months) by itself. Try not to test "if your dick still works" with porn ;-)

I'm liking it in a certain way. Because what I most wanted in my life was to lose my will to have sex. But the negative way is that I don't feel motivated to do nothing.

Why would you want to lose your will to have sex?

Why would you want to lose your will to have sex?

You can get DST, you spend energy, you can pregnant a woman, you have to talk to a woman to get to sex, you have to spend money...
Etc.

Why quit porn then? You can't get an STD from it, you won't impregnate anyone, you don't have to do anything to get a release, it's free, and after some years of consistent use it will leave you asexual

Because I lose energy with porn, lose focus, gain anxiety, depression, etc.

I can understand why you like  flatlining. I had a period of flatlining when I first quit and it really made things easy because I didn't have  temptation  to deal with and it was kind of like being in cruise control. Sorry to tell you it goes away and you will have other things to deal with the further along you go. I looked at it as the more I get through this stuff and the withdrawals the closer I am going to be to my goal of being clean. I do admit though flatlining made it easy but mine only lasted a couple of weeks. Good luck and God bless

Yeah. I think that I'm mentally prepared for the next struggle that will come. But for now, I'll just enjoy the moment.
Thank you.
