NoFap = No Libido?

Flatline doesn't happen that soon, so this is just withdrawal, and you will go from one extreme to the other every so often in this stage, though fortunately porn withdrawal symptoms get weak af before the end of the first month.

Is there anything I can do to help improve my libido?

Go into the real world and look at real women, imagine what they look like naked. Or get one naked. Cause on porn, you stop being aroused by real stuff, so naturally quitting porn you wont be aroused at all until you return to the natural state of biological sexuality, i.e. being aroused by a real woman.

You know your stuff though, porn never again is best and no fapping doesn't need to be permanent, but set yourself a timeframe now for how long you want to not fap, because without one you will be thinking at 5 weeks in that's enough when it isn't (I did).

Went through the exact same thing.

What I found is this. There’s a difference between fapping to porn and fapping to your imagination. I found the later to be much better in supporting my sex drive.

I only fap when I can do it solo (sans porn) and then only once or twice a week at most assuming I don’t have access to the real thing (pretty rare for me, not humble bragging just being honest).

Sometimes I just don’t want to deal with a woman’s shit so I go at it solo, just without porn.

Hope that helps. If you try it out let us know how it goes.

Bottom line, fuck using porn. Shit is not healthy in my experience.

Dont worry too much and let your body and mind have time to fix themselves.

You accustomed yourself to an artificial kind of arousing. It can be reverted.

it's because you dont think about sex so often, you dont get "random" (not really random) boner anymore. same happens with meditation. if you manange to be able to focus on only one task, random sex thoughts will vanish and you have less boners, or as you would say "low libido"...

Since I stopped (1.5 to 2 weeks)
I lift daily

It was the same for me when I started lifting and dramatically increased when I switched to HIIT (I do stationary biking). I felt nothing except muscle pain. I thought my free testosterone level was below zero: totally no desire neither for porn, nor for wife (that dreaded her also). After a week or a bit more I got back to my wife who was waiting for my return (dread works).

Now I have steel erection which lasts even after effortful acrobatic sex and cumming. So it was an adaptation which may take different time for different bodies, exercises etc.

Same shit man... I'm 19 stopped fapping and lost sex drive. Canceled a hook up and I was quite stressed because of school. Jacked off and had a really good sleep. I'm gonna try no fap again but I think at this age it's not bad to fap once a week.

Yes. Just wait till your balls are nearly purple cause you've had a hard on all day with no release.

Why the hell would you WANT a libido? Being free of sexual urges would mean never having to feel desire for any other person, being able to enjoy all the other bounties of life, and work on things to make yourself ultra-wealthy with ease...

Male libido is the most crippling thing in the universe. How do you not see this as a fucking miracle??
