        • I would like to confess that I did not know that pmo is harmful due to my ignorance. I conducted pmo for 10 years from 13 to 24, but I entered flatline due to a pmo 5-6 years ago, but I did not know what flatline is, did I not care about it or did I conduct pmo with a reduced dick

      • 1。I have been in flatline for a bout 5-6 years due to constant pmo, I feel sever anhedonia(can not feel happy from normal life)no libido depression, anxiety, loss of appetite ,i started nofap for a month without O ,Can I come out through nofap ?
      • 2。I feel emotionally numb i have Shrunken dick I don't have any mw but can get hard and have sex with my girlfriend,what is this situation?
      • 3。Can I recover if I have severe dopamine receptor desensitization or opioid receptor desensitization?
      iam doing nofap and i will insist it for a year at least,i have a girlfriend but i dont want to have O with her by karaza,i am in hardmode i dont see porn for a year but relapsed,Somebody analyze what's going on with me ,
      • I will listen carefully to everyone's opinions,I don't mean to bother you or annoy you but I'm living with feelings of insensitivity, anxiety, depression and it's scary and I really want you to help me

  2. First of all, welcome. You are in the right place :) There is a TON of resources and helpful people here. Glad you joined us.

    Second, everything you describe is sadly common with this addiction. Flatline and anhedonia are very common. So is brain fog, loss of appetite, anxiety and much much more. It's all textbook PMO stuff.

    The GOOD NEWS: this can *alll* be reversed. It takes time, but these are not permanent things, they are caused by the addiction and the repeated dopamine abuse, along with other chemicals in the body. By beginning nofap and stopping the addictive behaviors, you can get your life back.

    I recommend watching some nofap videos like the one below, and posting here every day. Welcome to the first step of a better you :)

    How is he able to get hard and have sex with his girlfriend if he has no libido and no morning wood, yet has a shrunken dick? I have only a shrunken dick and no libido or morning wood and can't get hard enough for any sex. IDK what's going on in my case.

    Can it be different for everyone? Sorry, I don't mean to hijack the topic.

    What is your current streak of no PMO?

    Are you taking anti-depressants or other medications such as SSRIs? Those can affect libido.

    Get 90 days no PMO and then see how you feel. My male energy started to come back after approximately 6 months.

    Isn't that what you call impotence not flatline. Flatline is when your going on nofap not the other way around.

    Wait just reread. Are you sure you weren't already impotent before you started nofap? Hence, you were able to go on a streak? Did you get any urges, if none, you already had the condition before you started nofap. Or maybe the condition manifested completely after your nofap. Whatever it is it sounds too complicated for someone to answer in a forum. Seek professional advice in the field.

      • I'm sure flatline happened after a pmo, and then I didn't realize what it was after all these years I was still pmo

    Same thing happened to me. I hit the flatline in my late 20's without realizing it.
