Why would you want to risk it? The problem with porn addiction is that you've already created the 'porn' connections in your brain. Those connections might become weaker over time, but they'll never go away. It like if you learnt to ride a bike when you were 5 years old and then don't cycle again until you're 50, you might be a bit wobbly at first but your brain will still remember how to ride a bike.
I think it was after my third relapse that I thought I would recover more quickly because I had abstained for a long time. In fact I remember I was in a 'flatline' for over 100 days and it was about 200 days before I could have sex. The first time I rebooted I recovered in 38 days. Why did my fourth reboot take so long?
I'll tell you now, I'm a porn addict (I suppose you are too). There are no safe levels of porn consumption for an addict. You're always going to be an addict, unfortunately. It depends whether you are an addict who can fight the urge to watch porn or an addict who can't. Don't risk it.

thats great that you are porn free for 2 months! thats quite an acheivement!
as to your question, i dont think it will help you to reecover faster per se, but it will help you in terms of what to expect and how to deal with things better the next time around. but yeah, as another psoter said, why even risk it?

MY bigger question is are you MO? Edging? and are you looking at any form of "artificia stimulation"? because if the answer is yes to any of those questions then you definitely have some work to do. It is definitely a huge achievement to be able to say "Im 6 months porn free". AWESOME! but you have to do no MO or edging or any form of karezza either.
Stick with this motto if you can "If it aint real then NO deal". If your gonna do anything sexual make sure it is with a real person. Thats what I have been doing and I have a fiance so I just channel all my sexual energy or lack therof unto him.
