You may need to give us more insight on how you got to this point.
I'm talking about the addiction and what lead you to come here.
I welcome you on this journey and this is the right place to ask questions.
If you could just give us some back story on your addiction so we can point in the right direction.

My question is......I have been rebooting for almost two weeks but I relapsed one day and watched P AND THEN MO. my question is.......should I masturbate or just hold it until I have a wet dreams? I'm single. done.

Cutting out masturbation - and hence any orgasm - seem to significally speed up the recovery.. Yes, you should not masturbate.
And with regards to the point that you're "single". Why does it matter to you? Just quit masturbating for a small period of time in your life. Single or not, there can't be a compromise when it comes to overcome this here. Just do it.

Quitting porn is easy. Unless you start fantasizing during masturbation, which triggers the Chaser Effect.
However, If you want to reboot all the way, you should quit masturbation as well.
I'm single too and I thought it would be impossible to quit masturbation,
but as time goes by, it's becoming more manageable.
And it won't ever be a problem once you've completed reboot,
because, believe it or not, you won't have any urges to watch porn.
The deeper you reboot, the more control you will have over sexual cravings.

Most of us conditioned ourselves to masturbate to porn. If you would just masturbate to your touch your whole life you would be fine and wouldn't use this forum but you either watched porn heavily or created porn in your mind with your thoughts. So in reality for most of us either watching porn or masturbating strengthen the neuro pathway in our brains that we fight so badly to get rid off. So for many of us masturbation isn't an option.
There are however guys that can get better just by abstaining from porn but they probably didn't condition themselves as badly as most of us. Ultimately you know yourself the best and you will see when/ if you get better. Many of us noticed considerable improvement after we quit both porn and masturbation because abstaining just from porn didn't create desired results.
In a way our problem isn't porn but excessive masturbation to porn. So unfortunately we need to numb the pathway in our brain first to create a new strong one (girls) and heal.

If it means getting a girlfriend in the end? YES! ;D
It means nothing. Staying away from PMO is just that - staying away from it. But you can give it a meaning. Go out and talk to women. One may be the woman of your life.
