    I no longer feel any emotions and have drastically reduced my consumption of corn. I have also noticed a decrease in my sexual desire - in fact, I hardly feel any sexual urges at all.

    Occasionally, I do feel a slight twinge, but it is very mild. I used to masturbate regularly, sometimes even twice a week, but in the past 3 months, I have only done so twice.
    This change is concerning to me. Sure i look at women sometimes, but i always tell myself, dont do this. its fucked mentality and i remind myself we all are humans. I don't feel strong urges no more just mild urges, its so weird.

    I am just curious have i gotten better or have i become a numb individual?

    It sounds like your body has moved into a flatline which is exactly where you want to be. Basically it is a period of recovery and a sign that your recovery is moving in the right direction. It is no different from a computer being powered off to change an internal part.

    It will feel weird but once you have recovered everything will come back online, for now just try to enjoy the ride.

    Normal part of the recovery process, enjoy the numbness stage to reorganize your life and goals.
    The urges will come back eventually, so stay alert and strengthen your blocking strategies before a possible relapse.
