Do you only get worse in your symptoms if you get aroused from the porn? So if you PMO'd on porn twice for hours then you'd obviously be set back, however if you only watch porn for a few minutes and there's no arousal, should it count as a reset? I believe there is an article on yourbrainonporn about it being the arousal causing brain changes, can you please find it?  THANKS.

From my perspective and experience I think that question would depend on the individual. No question in my mind that binging on porn is a setback, however you don't lose all progress just instantaneously. So, just catching a glimpse should not set back your recovery.

However, Just a Glimpse is all it takes to start a kind of chain reaction of testing and seeking to find more "accidental" glimpses. I think when we are serious about recovery we have to use all the tools and wisdom we can muster to avoid those glimpses.

My relapses always started with just a brief glimpse or fantasy in the past.

Can't answer your question specifically but the most optimal choice is to go cold turkey completely
