Is Pornography Cheating?

4,596 545 June 20, 2007 at 02:34 PM
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?

Can't really vote in your poll but I think I voiced this a while back... I don't think it's cheating...

I mean having concentual sexual contact with a man would make me gay, but if I masturbate, technically I am giving a guy a handjob, but that doesn't make me gay... does it?

The line is fuzzy sometimes, but I think it's cheating when you do the same thing you do with your GF/BF with someone else. So I guess if your relationship consists of looking at your girlfriend on your computer and possibly punching one out, then yeah, it would be. But I say generally no, it's not.

Then again I look at a lot of porn so I am not exactly an unbiased voice...

What's the difference between "Yes" and "Definite Yes" or "No" and "Definite No?" Confused

so watching porn with your significant other makes you swingers? It doesn't so it isn't cheating. At least its with someone you love anyways... yourself!

Are you having sex with another person? No. Therefor in my mind it is not cheating.
Doesn't make looking at porn right, doesn't make it wrong, but I mos-def think it is far from cheating.

I will watch it with my partner but I won't watch it unless she wants to as well. I mean to mix it up a little it would be ok. But when I am with a women I just don't need the porn.

If you hide it? Absolutely. If your mate knows about it and is okay with it, then no.


But if you hide it, it's a form of cheating. (lesser so than sleeping with someone obviously, but I would equate it to kissing someone else)

99.99% of men look at porn. some men are very, very whipped and do not, but they want to (but they don' t because they are pansies and are afraid to get caught).
it is normal and natural for men to look at it. a woman will never understand it. generally speaking, women do not have the same desires.
imagine if men could tell when a woman had fantasies about some random man (even if made up and faceless). men would be all jealous and try to tell women that they couldn't have these thoughts anymore and would go through the thought logs and chew them out about every instance of it.
so, women can attempt to make their men not look at porn, but all they are really accomplishing is making their man hide the fact that they look at porn (because they are not going to stop). if the man gets caught, he will learn and hide it better next time.
maybe if the woman was doing her duties with him, he wouldn't be horney, so he wouldn't look at porn....
