Hey guys ive been battling this problem for a couple years now but never read the scientific facts about it, im 7 days clean of porn but i still masturbate using memories of prior sexual experiences with ex girlfriends(never fully hard) sometimes i watch twerking on youtube to help. And pictures, so im doing everything the same except for actually watching porn. Am i shooting myself in the foot with all that? To reboot must i eliminate masturbation entirely?

Yes, you're shooting yourself in the foot if you M while using any type of video or pictures, and even memories of past experiences with girlfriends might not be ideal.  In addition,even  M alone without any sexual thoughts at all can cause a problem for guys who are starting a reboot, due to the "chaser effect."

I would start by looking at some of the articles on yourbrainonporn.com, and I would particularly recommend that you see the tab at the top of the main page on "Rebooting Basics."  It will address a lot of the basic questions you have about rebooting.

And welcome.  :)

Fantasizing, looking at porn subtitutes (youtube, bikini pictures, ...) are as bad as porn, because they trigger the same response in your brain, just milder, but enough to get you to look at porn again in a second.
