Is watching cartoon clips that contain unreal 'awrah' (private parts), and using them as a substitute for real 'awrah' to end an addiction, forbidden? And is masturbation without watching anything forbidden?

It is forbidden to watch pornographic cartoon movies, and it is not permissible to watch them as a substitute for real nudity on the street, because they are not a legitimate means of quitting pornography. Moreover, masturbation is forbidden even if it is done without watching forbidden things.
