But I didn’t watch porn, does this count to reset the timer?
When your quitting porn, any masturbation should count as a relapse. After the 90 days is when you should start considering if you want to give up masturbation or if you want to find a healthy way to do so. Until then consider it a relapse for the best healing
Probably depends on what your goals are. Is it to quit porn or is it to quit masturbation or is it both?
Yes
If it helps, the streak isn’t really the end goal. The end goal is to manage these urges for PMO effectively. The streak is an indicator of how that’s going. So, yeah, reset even if you don’t view, but get curious and find out why you relapsed. What were the circumstances, how were you feeling? Can any of that learning help prevent a future relapse? If you’re learning from setbacks, you’re making progress, even if it comes with reset of the streak.
