Does anyone know why it comes and goes in weird patterns? I'm on day 64 of no pmo and I would have a couple of days with morning wood and erection improvements, then a few random days of flatline, then a day of improvements, then more flatline, etc. Why is it so sporadic like that?

Hey Grego,
Are you free from all PMO?
I would run into what i would think are mini flatlines after being with my wife throughout my reboot/rewire. Sometimes there would be no rhyme or reason as to why i could or why i couldn't. That may simply be the brain being irradic as it rebalances itself.
Its a roller coaster to say the least - but we are all on for the long haul.
stay strong, continue to stay free from P & M, you will get through this.

That's a nice streak your building there so congrats on that first and foremost 8)
To answer your question, you are somewhere in the middle passage. Your dick is flip flopping.
Teasing you if you will. Don't make waking up with 10 straight hard-ons as an indication of recovery.
Because even when you're able to have normal sex again, you still have to commit to abstaining from
PMO. I should know.

Honestly, the flatline and PIED are so new that not a lot of scientific research has been done on it yet! Just know that most porn addicts have long, extended flatlines that come in phases that seemingly have no explanation. Your experiences are very normal!

to add to Fugu -
If you are true to staying away from P & M, and you are rewiring with a real person - the flatlines will come and they will go - one thing i have noticed is that yes the do happen but you should start to notice the length of the flatline shorten over time. Not overnight, but over a fair amount of time.

Yeah I would definitely say that is true. In my case, I only have flatlines after orgasming with my girlfriend. My libido is pretty good on long periods of abstinence - it's just those pesky O's.
The flatline is really strange and it's different for everyone. I think a lot of people see it as something discouraging, which it is not! Sure, it's depressing not to be yourself sexually, but it's a sign that your brain is healing, resting, and recovering.
