Nude/erotic photos or videos from partner? (in a long distance relationship)

Hi!

I'm on my 3rd week of rebooting, so far with no porn use and no MO. I'm in a long distance relation ship and my partner and I regularly sends erotic/nude photos or video clips to each other.

It's getting to a point that I really want to masturbate but my question is if I MO to those photos/videos of my partner, would that count as a trigger or porn substitute because it's in pixels and not the real thing?

Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

Any artificial stimulation, especially from screen, is activating the same path ways.
So masturbating is absolutely counter productive. Unfortunatley even watching at the pictures is with high chances a problem.
Same goes with sex talk on phone, reading sex novels or browsing on social media for nude photography or picures of hot babes.

Are you recovering from porn-induced sexual dysfunction?
