From what the talk show said , it is considered cheating , even if your partner is ok with you watching it or if you watch it together you are cheating on each other , they said it stimulates your mind of wanting more out of the relationship then. What you already have. If you need to watch porn in your relationship then you don’t value your partner so you should reconsider who you are in a relationship with , again this is what I heard on the talk show

  • I would say no

  • I think that if you're in a relationship or if you're married that if you watch porn did it's not cheating because you're not sleeping with anyone or having physical contact with a new one you're fantasizing therefore your partner's or husband or wife or whatever is not giving you the satisfaction that you're seeking anymore then on the other hand if y'all both watching porn together there's nothing wrong with that that's just adding spice to your life

  • Depends on how your partner feels about it

  • Yes it is.

  • Technically it is but to me it isn't unless he loses interest in me and prefers to watch it.

    • That's less likely to happen unless he is an unhealthy guy. You know we can father thousands of kids so there is more for you.

  • Is watching romantic movie considered cheating if you are married or in a relationship? Nope.
    Just like that porn is also a movie/video. Made for fun. It's not an educational video so you can learn anything from it. It's just a video made for sexual entertainment.

  • Yes is cheating. But. ... If both people want to watch it together then that's okay because your just having fun with each other.

  • There is no physical contact, so pornography is not ‘cheating’.

    • There’s no physical contact if you fall in love with someone else without ever doing anything with them. But that’s still emotionally cheating on your partner.

  • It IS emotional infidelity & it DOES take away from your relationship. When you're committed to someone then be 100% committed to that one person. Would you be ok if your SO was laying in bed with you & watching porn, focusing on someone else while in your bedroom or any place in your house for that matter? With smartphones, there's always access to some other guy or girl 24/7/365. And if it's porn than what else are they watching? Or interacting with? Since social media like Instagram & even this platform... how much easier & tempting is it to go and actually fuck someone they meet online? Pretty fucking easy since it's at anyone's fingertips all the time. People start with one little thing that leads to something else that is more satisfying until that leads to more of this n that bc the last thing has become kinda dull... My opinion anyways. Yes, watching shit like that is cheating.

    • If someone is going to do something they will do it either way... best thing is to establish some limits, to what point you both believe it's too much, whatever you choose after that point you know the consequences... but watching porn in itself does not necessarily mean cheating... its stupid, I can agree as it creates a false standard.

  • If you have to hide it, it’s cheating.

  • I wouldn't consider it cheating, no.

  • Not cheating but if I offer and he constantly chooses porn over me I won't be happy.

    • Trust me guys would rather have the real thing then porn

  • a couple could agree to define it that way. But no, I don't see watching porn as cheating in any way.

  • It's not chaeating, it's just entertainment when you are bored and alone and for couples, it would make their mood for sex but you should not have same expectations from your partner as in porn as this would lead to disappointment

  • I don't consider it cheating.

  • Sounds just as bad to me.

  • I would not agree that it is cheating, but it does have a tendency to create unrealistic expectations and can be shown to damage the capacity for intimacy in those addicted to it.

  • No, as long as you watch together...

    • Cheating is when you do something that your partner is not to their liking. Do if they are ok with it or watch it together, both go contrary to what cheating is...

  • No...

  • YES. No question. I call it a form of erotic sexual satisfaction or pleasure against my Girl. My Girl will give me pleasure. That's Her job.
