What constitutes as porn?
so ive been quitting porn and havent watched in 50 days but still masterbate and im wondering is videoing myself jerking off and watching it count as porn?
If it's arousing to you, then I'd probably count it as porn. If it's taking the place of what you used to watch, it's probably porn.
If you can't get aroused or orgasm without visual stimuli, and think this is at an addiction level, why not talk to a therapist about it?

cant get a therapist in the uk it takes over a year and i can get aroused without it idk why i wan to tbh
Well, why are you stopping? Are you experiencing negative things because of it? Is it interfering with daily activities, like school or work or family time/relationships?
Porn, in and of itself, isn't necessarily a bad thing. As long as you understand that none of it's real, that's it's all lights and fake and edited and sex doesn't work that way in real life, bodies don't work that way, relationships don't work that way, porn doesn't have to be bad.
It's only when you look to it as a guide for how to have sex, or let it take the place of sex or relationships, or let it interfere with daily responsibilities that it's an issue.

Do you feel "weird and dirty" recording yourself and watching those back?
Also, if you are recording yourself, make sure those videos are secure on your device.
