You quit porn expecting to feel better.

More energy. More motivation. More confidence. A stronger sex drive.

So naturally, you start wondering:

In this episode of The Rebuilt Man Podcast, Coach Frank Rich breaks down what men in porn recovery commonly call the "flatline"—and why feeling worse after quitting porn doesn't automatically mean something is wrong with you.
