Is porn cheating?

[Imagine]

I'm just curious on the responses. Do you think porn is like cheating? Would you let your husband/wife watch it? Do you mind if your boyfriend/girlfriend watches it?

My opinion is that it's not cheating, and as long as she doesn't want to watch it over doing stuff with me. Which i know she won't.

[MacGuffin]

No, porn is not cheating. In essence, it's just looking at others while you may or may not touch yourself. Think of it as enhanced masturbation, or if youre together with your partner, a fun and creative twist to sex. There is no cheating involved, in my opinion, because you are in no way, shape, or form interacting with others. Porn is purely visual. I mean, if porn is cheating, that technically makes looking at anyone other than your partner in way that denote sexual attraction cheating, which is just plain ridiculous.

Some people will consider porn cheating, though. It's good to ask your partner first, and to talk about why they feel that way.

I definitely don't think it is. I have no problem with my partner watching it providing they didn't choose it over me. I think cybersex is cheating but that's a whole other issue. But no, I have no problem with porn.

[Elle_Dorado]

I definately don't think it is.

[Rainbow Dash]

It doesn't bother me in the slightest. Common sense is they will find other people attractive. I remember I found porn on my ex's phone (I didn't have credit so he let me text my sister off his. I wasn't snooping around or anything ), he thought I was going to go insane, it really didn't phase me.

I don't think it is as long as it doesn't complicate your sex life with your partner. I think it is somewhat healthy to watch it. And I don't mind my boyfriend watching it as long as he still wants to have a sex life with me or isn't watching outlandish things and wants me to do them if Im not comfortable with it.

But also at the same time it all depends on your partner you may not think of it as cheating but they might. So always talk to them about it.

[Maloo]

I don't think it's cheating. Hell, I watch it with my boyfriend haha

[Heartlines.]

Hey

I personally don't think that is cheating. But I can see where other people might think that it is. I guess it just depends on lot's of things.

I think when porn takes over the sex life or relationship then you have a problem.

In other circumstances, for example, my grandparents have been married almost ten year but never consimated (sp?) the marriage. However, he watches porn all the time but refuses to have sex with her. I don't necessarily think it's cheating, but it's definitely wrong.

Sex is a big world. Many possibilities. Many scenarios. Different feelings. Different interests. It's very wide ranged. So really, is watching porn cheating? It depends on all the other factors.

I don't think it's cheating. As for my partner watching it, I wouldn't be completely okay with it but if that's what they wanted to do it, so be it. As long as they didn't do it around me or use it to be replace me.

[Brandon]

No, it's not. If women can be attracted to male celebrities (such as any Twilight actors, or whatever) then guys can definitely watch porn and not cheat. Both are celebrities. One is just clothed and the other one isn't

[Melody Pond]

Do you think porn is like cheating?
Nope.

Would you let your husband/wife watch it?
Yes.

Do you mind if your boyfriend/girlfriend watches it?
Nope.

I watch it and if my boyfriend or husband told me I couldn't I would be annoyed as I don't see it as cheating and I don't think it would be his place to tell me I can't watch it. So obviously I wouldn't tell my boyfriend or husband he couldn't watch it.

[PGP]

i don't see it as cheating, and i would certainly let my girlfriend watch it (who the hell am i to tell her what to do?? )

but i would mind if my girlfriend watched it, only because i think it's disgusting. Yeah, it's a natural human impulse to want to watch sex and pleasure yourself (at least in most peoples ) but i just think porn is gross

[Tara.]

Imo it's not cheating, but I think that when you're in a relationship you should know how the other person feels about it before watching.

[bitesize]

I don't think it's cheating. Obviously I don't love the idea that someone I'm going out with might be getting off on watching other girls, but really, it's just porn. They're just images on a screen. As long as it doesn't start to take over their life, I think it's good for them to have that kind of release sometimes, because everyone will need a release every so often, and it's better for them to do this than to go out and hook up with some randomer. Plus if I'm in a relationship and I decide to watch some porn I think absolutely nothing of it, so it would never strike me as cheating. So I can't really judge them for the same thing.

[taylalatbh.]

I don't think it's cheating, but if it takes over their life, or becomes a replacement for me, I'd have a problem with it. I don't mind if my partner watches it, at all. It would just annoy me if they did it all the time, and in replacement of sex with me.

[PSY]

If my boyfriend/husband began to prioritize pornography over our own sex life... then yes, I would see that as a form of emotional infidelity. But do I believe it's cheating under normal circumstances? No.

[Work_In_Progress]

Nope. Not at all.

[Acheron]

No, I don't think of it as cheating. If a girl I'm with wants to watch porn, that's fine by me. Similarly, if she wants to police my fantasies, she isn't worth staying with.

[Berries and Cream]

It's not cheating but I would be very uncomfortable if my boyfriend (if I ever have one) watched it. But I'm tolerant so I would not care if he watches it as long as he doesn't do that around me or put it as his number one priority.

[Algernon]

Go read my thread on this...

No porn is not cheating. And if any guy told me I couldn't look at porn he's be shit out of luck =P

[The Kira]

Deff not, me and my partner watch it together xDD

[Shaytun]

I can understand a partner getting upset but I'm pretty chill if she wanted to. Personally I would likely continue doing so even if the relationship was an 'active' one.

It'd be tight if she wanted to watch with me xD

[flippinmayonnaise]

Okay, here comes a different opinion! Oh no! Time for attacks!

I do believe that watching porn willingly is cheating. I would feel cheated on emotionally if my boyfriend were to do that. I understand the appeal, and understand how it may work in some relationships, but in mine I wouldn't consider that acceptable..especially when there is a beautiful creature right next to him (:

It really just depends on who you are with.

[Lost_Confused]

I think so.

Because when you watch porn, you usually tend to be attracted to the person/persons and tend to be drawn more toward the women/men on the screen over your partner, and want to be with those people. Even though you aren't haven't a physical affair, it's an emotional affair.

At least, in my experience it's been like that.
My dad watched it, and that's all he ever did. :|

[hellomynameis]

I don't think it is but if my boyfriend were to like the porn better than being with me.
...

[Losing_Control]

Personally, I don't watch it, but I don't think it should be considered cheating.

[rac146]

I dont really watch it, but I know my boyfriend does.

Early in our reletionship, he asked me how I felt about it. and I told him.
something along these lines:

I dont really watch porn, i think its kinda gross and degrading to the porn actors and the watcher themselves. I do watch it on occasion, and by on occasion I think three times total. over the course of two years. How do I feel about you watching? I dont care, as long as you dont make me think about it. Meaning, I dont want to discuss it again (since you already know how I feel) I dont want to see your collection, or hear about your favorite porn star.

We have agreed if our sex life gets stale were gonna watch one together though. I try to be adventurous

[Boobies]

I agree with the mass, it's not cheating. It's just looking at images D=

[TheGiver]

No it's not cheating it is just projection of instinctual urges.

[Hollifire]

It's not cheating at all. I'd rather the person watch porn, instead of actually going out and hooking up with some random stranger. I don't see why people make such a big deal out of it.

[3DDfan]

As *3* said, I agree with the mass. Although I don't really care to watch porn, being as I have a girlfriend, It's in no way cheating.. At least in my mind.

[Veniathan]

It's not cheating. While i had my GF i used to have epic Porn backgrounds as Wallpapers .. Well softcore not really any sex Lol xD ... i dont think its cheating, Just chill out with it feel me ? Dont worry everything will be alright!

[hopefaithlove]

I don't think it's cheating, but it would make me uncomfortable if my boyfriend watched while we were in a relationship. I don't want my husband to watch it.

I personally find it gross.

[MichWolverineFreak]

It doesnt appeal to me that other people do it, but I broke my addiction a long time ago. Id feel really jealous that they imagine having sex with strangers with stds that use drugs to make their di**s bigger.
Still, I dont think its technically cheating, but Id worry about it.

[sabbs1991]

I don't think its cheating. People fantasize about other people all day long, its human nature -- an impulse that can't be stopped. Porn is just other peoples daydreams being played for you haha

[Bibliophile]

I don't think so. Obviously I'd rather watch it with them.

[MegaMadness]

I don't think its cheating.

[I-Love-him]

Here's a slightly different view point and it's completly personal opinion, i don't think anyone is right or wrong here.

I do consider it cheating, yup thats right LOL.
i never used to, before i met my current boyfriend it didn't bother me at all and i even watched it myself. However, i met my boyfriend and i never looked at another guy again and i'm being 100% honest here, i don't see men as attractive anymore (only my guy), no other guy appeals to me,you ask anyone i know, if they point out a guy to me i'm just like so plain and have nothing to like or say about them lol. I tried to watch porn once and suddenly found myself questioning myself "hang on, why do i need this?" "i have pictures of my boyfriend and video's, why do i need to watch other people doing stuff?" All of a sudden i found myself angry at myself and i literally felt like i had just practically shagged someone else LOL It was a horrible feeling and i have no idea why i suddenly felt that way. I guess i'm so passionate about my boyfriend. I think deep into porn, sometimes i find myself thinking "actualy it's fine" but then i'll think "hang on, he's (my boyfriend) got videos and pictures of me! why does he need porn?" then i questioned something "if my boyfriend went to someones house, watched two people have sex and wanked over it, would i consider it cheating, yes" So there you go, a huge story as to why i consider it cheating. My boyfriend knows and i'd be heart broken if he is still watching porn, if i ever found out or found any on his phone i don't think i could bare it. But to be quite honest i don't think he has time for porn these days LOL. And don't think he needs it, i give him all the satisfaction he needs
