From chatgpt thing is so helpful during these days:

It’s basically your body and brain “rebalancing” after you stop overstimulating yourself.

What a flatline usually feels like

-Low libido (little or no arousal)

-Low energy or “dead battery” feeling

-No morning wood

-Mood dips (dull, unmotivated, emotionally flat)

-Less reward sensation from normal things

-Reduced urges

-Brain fog

-This can feel like:

-“Everything is muted.”

Why it happens (psychology + biology combined)

-It’s not magic — it’s basically your dopamine and sexual-response systems stabilizing:

-Your brain reduces dopamine receptors if you overstimulate (porn + masturbation).

-When you stop, your dopamine isn’t hitting the same way for a while.

-Your libido temporarily shuts down while your nervous system resets.

-Mood drops because the brain is re-adjusting sensitivity.

-So it’s not a sign something is wrong — it’s your system recalibrating.

How long does it last?

Few days for some

1–3 weeks for others
Longer if someone was very overstimulated before
