Sexual Relationships 
Sexual Health Okay so I never thought about this, but I just saw a TikTok meme about it and I knew right away I had to see what others thought.
I’ve never been in a long term relationship so I feel like, for me, my opinion would depend on that. Personally, I’ve been watching porn since I was around 6. I know that’s crazy, but I had family friends (around my age) who had older brothers. They introduced me. Anyways, I don’t think I would mind (especially if we weren’t living together or anything). I wouldn’t want them to expect me to be available for sexting or whatever whenever they were horny, and I wouldn’t have that expectation for them either. If we were married and or living together and they chose to use porn instead of trying with me, I’d probably be like why? If I didn’t want to get it on I guess I’d say to do what they got to, I don’t think it would bother me along the lines of jealousy which is why most women don’t like when their S/O watch porn.
I don’t know, what do you guys think and if you have experience in this or with this problem in a relationship, how did it go?
Is watching porn while you are in a relationship cheating (in your opinion)?

I’m going to put this so people stop messaging me about it!! I DO NOT HAVE A YES OR NO OPINION ON THIS. Some of you are calling me dumb but I didn’t say it was cheating! It’s just a question based on what you think.

Inappropriate maybe, but certainly not cheating because you're not having sex or a relationship with anyone
No. You are not interacting back and forth. It is purely a one sided observation. Sexting back and forth I would consider as cheating though because of the interaction/back and forth with the other person.
Monogamy is NOT natural for us as primate mammalian species.
You are a POLYAMOROUS CREATURE BY **DEFAULT**
You can try to buck your natural, innate imperatives, but MOST will fail miserably, hence the divorce rate and infidelity rate being through the roof. No one ever taught them this.
Not cheating but certainly unfair if a partners sexual desires aren't fulfilled due to this.
No, it’s not cheating because you’re not actually WITH the person. You’re just watching them doing sexual things naked or bathing naked or doing anything naked.
I guess if someone would consider that cheating would be up to the individual relationship to set the line on would would be cheating and what wouldn't be. Personally, I wouldn't consider it cheating, porn gets me off when my girlfriend isn't there or doesn't want to. A friend of mine had an ex girlfriend who considered it cheating, and on top of that, she wanted to wait until marriage.
No, it's not.
Watching Video Pixels on the screen is not cheating.
This seems relevant... Girl-- your guy is going to watch porn... Get over it.
Getting a hard on from a naked image is natural, but to jerk off to it let alone search for it is a choice. If a girl gets used to a guy (or vise versa) getting off from porn when they are right there to have sex with, then that relationship is sailing for r/deadbedrooms. I myself was off porn for a year and the love for my girlfriend was all I thought about. Then I fell back into my old habits and my thoughts were just about how other girls looked hot. I still thought my girlfriend was hot, but the thought of what other women looked like naked pervaded my thoughts. I thought that even if I was broken up, then I'd still have options. A thought not even went to working it out with my girlfriend. Terrible. Porn is one way how people start to physically cheat on one another.
I probably wouldn't feel very good about it. Of course i do watch porn but its more of a bad habit, not something i enjoy and look forward to. I guess really im not sure. I'll cross that bridge when i get to it.
Not really
It’s not cheating
definitely not cheating.
it is a completely different thing to sex within a relationship.
It's cheating abotu as much as a woman using a vibrator is cheating.
it depends on what boundaries your partner sets. some consider it cheating , some don't.
although you should quit porn regardless. it rewires your brain and desensitizes you to sex. it makes actual sex less pleasurable than what it should be.
No, not necessarily. But knowing your partner is watching porn and seeing the things they’re into the most, or porn stars gets you thinking, overthinking really, and it hurts. Because all you do is compare youself to them.
This isn’t applicable to all women or men, it’s just common.
No. Not even a little bit in my opinion.
Nah I don't see it as cheating. It can be problematic but not cheating
Hell no
