I feel all the symptoms of flatline but I didn't get there by abstinence, I got there by binging on porn.
Yup all the withdrawal symptoms can show up even when you are not rebooting. It is what eventually happens, more and more withdrawal symptoms are appearing even if you keep using porn. Its downard spiral. Year after year you will experience more and more bad symptoms but usually you dont notice it because it is gradual and inconsistent so you may blame it or think its because of someone else or something else, not porn use. That is the usual case.
Withdrawal symptoms are basically current symptoms that you grew accustomed to, but magnified and maybe then some more. For example addicts with PIED are already in flatline, all the time. When they get into reboot, this gets magnified and they feel completely "dead" down there. But what kind of feeling "alive" it is when you cant get it up with a butt naked girl in bed with you? They just grew accustomed to the flatline and notice it more when it gets quickly, not gradually, magnified.
