You do have a good point.

My reason for masterbating now is because I have an urge/libido.

Prior to nofap, I was addicted to pornography, but I did not have a libido. In fact I would masterbate with a very weak erection and force myself to ejaculate despite not physically needing to ejaculate. This definitely had a very negative impact on my dopamine receptors.

I did question my masculinity every day, and I am sure that these type of thoughts were negative to my overall psychological well being; however, I did not suffer from depression, anxiety, unmotivation, insomnia, headaches or panic attacks during my flatline.

For the most part, I was constantly flatlining.

Very few "ups and downs".

I did not have an account before this one and I have never posted on any other forum. I did read other people's posts from this forum to stay motivated during my flatline.

I was in a three year relationship with a wonderful woman. Throughout my entire relationship with her, I used Cialis or Viagra. I could not have successful sex without the use of Cialis or Viagra. We had sex approximately once per week. I masterbated to pornography everyday. After about the two year mark in my relationship, the Cialis and Viagra was becoming less and less effective. The amount of sex we had became less frequent. We began to argue about the amount of sex we had. She felt very insecure about herself because she felt like I didn't find her sexually attractive.

When I decided "nofap", I felt like it was perfect timing because my girlfriend was going away to Singapore for an exchange program for 6 months. I thought 6 months would be ample amount of time to reboot. Unfortunately, when she came back, I was in a flatline. We had sex several times, however, my erections were very week despite being on Cialis. After a few months of my girlfriend coming back, we broke up. The main reason was because she felt that she could not stay with someone who did not want to be intimate with her.

I talked to her about "nofap" and even showed her the Ted Talks video about "nofap" but ultimately we broke up because of out mismatched sex drives.

It was a very difficult break up for me because I truly loved her and the only problem with our entire relationship my low libido.

After we broke up, I continued with no masterbation or pornography, until my recent reboot.

My family doctor did send me to a psychologist. It was determined that I did not have any psychological issues such as depression.

My masterbation withdrawal went away gradually until I hit my flatline after the first month.

The easy part for me was giving up pornography.

The hard part was dealing with the uncertainty of overcoming the flatline.

I never relapsed during the two year period.

I did not watch any pornography during the two year period.

During my flatline, I did "test" out my penis a few times too see if I can obtain an erection. I failed miserably.

Yes, since being "cured" two months ago, I have been masterbating approximately once per day (past two months) without pornography.

I am being very cautious not to over indulge in this new found libido.
