Wandering Hand Syndrome?

    So I was hoping to find an answer to this, but without digging deep into the forum, I figured I would just ask.

    So its obvious to me that one of the keys to rebooting is abstaining from masturbation to porn, and the best way to do that is to not masturbate at all. My problem is I have what I like to call "Wandering Hand Syndrome" where i can be relaxing at home and while i'm alone or with my boyfriend, my hand will wander to my crotch, sometimes without paying attention. I'll play with myself a little bit, then continue what I was originally doing.

    My question is, is that consider masturbation or is that just as tame as say scratching an itch? When I do it it's usually out of just the pure pleasure of the act, and not because I am thinking about porn. I never let it get further than when I begin to feel erect though. Would this be a reason to reset for any of you? I would love to hear your thoughts on this.

    Not a reset for me, but I try to avoid that. I feel like it can be a trigger in cases when I already have an urge to watch porn and/or masturbate.
