Is viewing pornography cheating on your girlfriend/boyfriend?
I had heard something today by someone who said that viewing pornography is wrong if you are married, or seriously involved with someone.

In a way that is partially true. You are having feelings towards someone else you should be having towards your wife.

though I can't say I agree. but I have never been married, so I can't say for sure.

I've heard some girls even consider a guy to be unfaithful if he rubs on out by himself every now and then. Isn't that a little insecure? I guy can slack his lizard and still love his wife.

WhatEVER. The most annoying thing in the entire WORLD is to have your spouse/partner/sigOtr keep asking "What are you thinking?" every time there's a lull in the conversaton.

Particularly when 'Nothing' is NOT an acceptable response. (I mean, what the he11 else am I supposed to say, especially when it's the TRUTH?!?)

There's a street in London, called St.Swithins lane, isn't there? A few blocks away from Bank tube station?

I hate that. My wife does that all the time. She must think I'm brain dead, since there's nothing going on. What am I supposed to say, I was thinking about the baseball scores while she's talking to me? Please.

Yeah, depends on the situation. If you watch porn with your mate then no problem. But sneaking around can get you in trouble.

It's even more distracting when you are masturbating to pornography.

Why would it matter? It's a fantasy it's not real. How can something which is not real constitute a real transgration?

Have you seen the guys who post here? This isn't an option for the vast majority.

I would say nothing but the truth there normally is something like, "oh well, run out of stuff to say might as well have sex."

Wieving porn isn't cheating.

Just like thinking about work-related issues during a holiday isn't illegal.

Dating Rosey Palm and her 5 sisters is with-holding from your girlfriend.
You're a cheater.

Really?

Would whoever voted yes like to defend themselves?

For instance, is it cheating to check out clothed people if you are in a relationship? (something which we all do naturally all the time, there's science to back it up. If so, what's the difference?

What about if they are wearing revealing clothing?

What about if it's a picture that just barely scrapes into what you are allowed to show on 'poly?

Just a bit of nipple OK/not OK?

Is it OK to look as long as you don't touch (yourself)?

I think pornography can save relationships. It gives you a chance to "be" with someone else without actually cheating. Some people have an obsession with strange and this is a good way to get the demons out.
