I am about 2 weeks into my reboot, but was curious whether masturbation during a reboot if done without the death grip/ porn use (obviously) will derail my reboot? In other words, is occasional MO/edging during the reboot phase a bad idea? By MO, I would be focusing on just the physical act of self-pleasuring rather than running hyper-sexualized images through my head. Or is it better to wait until after the reboot phase is over? Curious what other more experienced or knowledgable members have to say on the subject.
Masturbation without Porn during reboot

Lots of opinions on this. I kinda thought it would be OK too, but some people who have been successful convinced me it's better not to. If you're going to, you seem to have the right idea. I don't think I'll make it forever without any MO at all. But cutting back as far as I possibly can. Shoot, I was doing it at least 2 or 3 times a day. If that becomes 3 or 4 a month, it has to be better. But nothing is best, from what I understand.
There are two issues I think. You have to be really careful about where your mind wonders while you're doing that. Playing back porn in your head IS bad, from what I understand, and would be a big set back. And they say when you O it kinda makes you want to do it again.

In my opinion, you can't really rewire without doing it hardmode. No PMO, no MO, and no sex (maybe sex after a designated time shorter than 90 days). I feel that MO even without porn is doing quite the same thing to your brain as porn does. It's very hard to MO without fantasizing. Now in my own experience, even when I have MOed while fantasizing about my wife I have in a sense objectified her. I have made it all about me, getting off, while regarding her as just a fantasy. I'm trying to eliminate PMO and indefinitely MO as well. I feel that MO will only lead me back to P so do away with both and embrace a healthier more natural outlook on sex. To each his own...

I tested myself after 24 off MO, and the results were great, and I m pretty convinced that it was not only because I stopped PMO, but also because I stopped MO. So now I intend to come back to no MO .
There s also another advantage for not doing MO: you get a heavy extra motivation to seduce girls, after 15 days my brain understood that from now on, it should be the real deal or nothing.

I did this, I thought it would be fine... Apart from the fact that it might slow down the reboot, it lead me to a relapse a few days after..
Many guys here have said how it drives u towards relapse not to mention how slow the reboot will be.
Man I wouldn't personally try it. Talking from experience.
