Is Pornography Cheating?

4,596 545 June 20, 2007 at 02:34 PM in Chat
So I'm listening to my local radio station and an interesting point has been brought up by the hosts when a listener has called in. The point is that his girlfriend has really grilled him thoroughly about finding pornography on his computer.

One host says that pornography is cheating while the other feels that it is not cheating. The caller views this as not cheating. My personal opinion is that it is not cheating as long as there is no physical contact.

This same question can be posed in the form of whether an "online" relationship is considered "real" or not. However, that is for a much different topic and a much different thread.

So the question I pose to you: Is Pornography Cheating?

I wear tennis shoes but don't think they will make me play tennis. I have a long handle lighter but I don't want to smoke.

I really enjoy my National Geographic and Playboy magazines . . . .

Because they are both about places I'll NEVER visit!!shake head

Quote from Mavtech :
Absolutely not. He is performing an intrusive act on their privacy. Furthermore, acting on the lust for a 16 year old is by no means natural or accepted. There is no way you can compare that to looking down a woman's shirt when she bends down in front of you or saying to yourself that another woman is hot. In your example, the man is pursuing it. I never said that pursuing anything was natural. I just said it was natural for a man to be attracted to other women and to check them out.....not seek them out and video tape them.

I'm pretty sure a grown man going onto school property and snapping one off is illegal.
So what if a 16 year old girl happened to bend over in front of him?

Like I said, if he pursues it, then that's a problem. But, I don't know any men who would make it a point to look away from a hot 16 year old.

According to my wife at 12:30 last night it's a "Definite Yes". Regardless of whether I'm looking at it or not, she assumes I am, therefor I'm cheating on her. It was a great hour long yelling match.

Touching yourself without looking is an even bigger form of cheating...

Yes, if the wife is ignored because he prefers the porn.
No, if the wife is satisfied and she knows about the porn.

If he lies about it, yes he is a cheater twice...

laugh out loud This thread is funny.

If my man has to look at porn to rub one off once in awhile and be in a great mood, all the power to him.nod
Same goes for women..High Five

This country is too uptight. If watching porn is cheating, then most of us are going to hell. Whee

Wot it it's the wife watching porn? Down

Quote from PassionateGray :
Intimacy does not = only "making love" in my mind.

Intimacy means that you can share all your fantasies, etc. with the other person without fear of humiliation.... but it also means that you will turn to that person for those fantasies, etc. being fulfilled. Not to porn.

There is no intimacy when someone is alone. None. Sex was made so relationships can be solidified, in my opinion. Just because men like it more often or whatever doesn't mean that it's against relationship-building. It's a puzzle that the husband and wife work on together... no one said life was easy... well, sex isn't either.

The best gift a person can give their wife/husband is 100% pure, unadulterated, only-for-you, faithful, passionate sex.

Porn just robs that... it doesn't build intimacy at all.
Have you considered preaching as a profession?
