I dont consider it cheating, but when i get involved with a woman, and begin to see her/them regularly, i feel so uninterested in porn, the last girl i was with asked me to watch porn with me. When you get out there, and have someone to have sex with regularly, you find porn isnt nearly as interesting/exciting/fun/passionate/anything close.

While I do not look at porn in general (except maybe a few times in the bounds of Oct 1st - Dec 30th and Jan 15th-April 15th), within those time-sectors I would continue not viewing any porn if I had a relationship with someone. I've read too many testimonials from porn / sex addicts of how their innoscent porn indulgences have wrecked their marriages, relationships, and their family. It's best to pull the plug on that if there is a relationship since someone could get hurt, if you are single, then nobody can get hurt and it's more tolerable of a vice then so long as it's kept under control.

I'm probably the only voter that stated it's cheating, after all it is, your gf/wife/SO should be enough for you, once you start looking for something else than means she is inadequate for your needs and you have to look elsewhere and it's the beginning of the end from that point on.

I've known girls that were really into porn - they'd watch it to get themselves off or as a couple. It depends on the specifics of the relationship. If there is an explicit or implied agreement to avoid porn or not is the same as other things in the relationship.

Rule of thumb is this: Do you feel compelled to keep it a secret? That answer is that same as the answer to "Is it cheating?" so there you go. Note that not being completely open about something isn't the same as compelled to keep it secret.

Pft, I don't consider it cheating no way.

Screw that, if my woman can't satisfy my sexual drive that I have to go watch porn, it's not cheating at all.
If your woman can't satisfy you, then you dump her.. you don't cheat by watching porn!! haha, sorry couldn resist.

Most quality girls (real marriage material) would be put off by any guy that admits viewing porn or viewing it in the past and would be a stupid idea to disclose it unless she's that type of person herself and would understand otherwise you risk appearing like some sort of pervert or someone indulging in something that sexually objectifies women and it may even show a crack in the character to be indulging in stuff like that. Nobody is going to want to risk a good relationship by saying they enjoy this stuff.

To me its not cheating, its just a movie or images.

I think if you do watch porn and if you have a girl dont make it a habit. Make her have sex with you instead. :up:
Just a movie or images? It interacts with the mind, and the experience of mind especially when you masturbate could be quite real in itself, almost equivalent to cheating. The question is, if you have a 'real' girl in your life, then why would you or anyone continue resorting to pursuing a fantasy?

My utilization of porn is because I feel it's my right to view porn if I'm unable to find a relationship, or just get bad experiences with girls, using porn as a reward system for my own efforts and failed results only works by maintaining severe restrictions on viewing this things most of the time - thus creating a sexual relief from all the 'friendzones', 'break-ups', 'blow-offs', that occur that I'm unable to have a real woman and to reward myself for trying to get a real girl. Furthermore, it creates a contrast to my absolute asexualized reality.

So, if you have no problems getting girls, then why do people view porn?

Okay, something really weird happened this morning. Maybe I haven't made myself clear when I started this thread. So I will explain it and hopefully some people will talk sense into me.

I started dating this girl about three weeks ago. We were in the same class of university and I've had more or less a crush on her for the past year. I knew she had a boyfriend so I gave up hope and gave attention to other girls. At the last party we had this year I heard she and her boyfriend broke up, so I gave it a try. I was really drunk and so was she, but we ended up in bed together. And the nights after that as well. I didn't really saw her much during the days. (Most guys probably would see this as the ideal relationship. :) ) Anyhow, she's from the US and went back to her parents for two weeks. It felt really good and on the day she left we talked about if we would like to see each other again when she came back. She wanted it and so did I, so the past two weeks I didn't go and try hitting on other girls. Even though I was also on holliday, saw a million beautiful girls and there were a few where I had a chance with. My brother thought I was an idiot by not doing it because I was only dating this girl for 1 week. (My brother is the ultimate DJ in my opinion.)

Anyway, during the evenings when I did saw her (so before her going away) we talked about a lot of things and also porn. She thought regular porn (so what most guys watch) is degrading to women because they do things only guys like doing to women and women can never enjoy those things.

Okay, so she went away for two weeks, I had no contact with other women but after one and a half week I was getting some needs and started watching some porn and masturbating to it. Not hardcore movies, but softcore pics. I wasn't feeling guilty doing it, but after I did it I felt really weird. As if I cheated on her. :confused:

That's also the reason why I started this thread. I also answered "I don't know".

Now I saw her again yesterday and we walked a bit through the park. And suddenly she starts holding my hand. Something only boy and girlfriend do. So I started thinking: maybe she was a hunderd percent faithfull to me I start watching porn although I know she doesn't like it!

We had a great day by the way. She asked if she could see me tonight .

Well this morning I woke up, sweating, really heavy heartbeating, the feeling I need to throw up. Turns out I was dreaming about me and her knowing I was unfaithful to her and she doesn't know it.

Well it just feels bizarre. For some reason I got the feeling I'm cheating on her and it feels horrible. I don't know what to do. But on the other hand, I was only seeing her for one week, I don't have to adopt her morals, and 83 percent of the guys here think porn is not cheating. Still I'm getting these anxiety attacks over such a thing!

This unbearable lightness of being. :(

If anybody has any suggestions or wants to beat some sense into me. You're welcome. Articles I should read are also welcome. Thanks in advance.

Loosen up, man.

You're a man with sexual desires ingrained in you. You need a orgasm from time to time (that's healthy, especially if she's away for 2 weeks).
Read the thread of the top 10 sexual fantasies of women in the Discussion forum. If porn is cheating, than what is that kind of shiit. :crackup:

porn is NOT cheating, anyone who thinks differently is insane.

you need TWO WAY COMMUNICATION WITH ANOTHER PERSON to cheat.

based on this definition, being a peeping tom wouldn't make you a cheater (just a perv).

the issue women have with their man watching porn has NOTHING to do with cheating and everything to do with the fact that a woman wants to be the one who 'satisfies' her man - she doesn't want a sex doll, porn movie, or anything else doing it.

heck, a lot of women would get miffed if they caught their man jacking off.

but official, it is NOT cheating unless there is another (in the flesh) person involved.

She was really embarrassed and thought she was a freak. She told me she was bisexual. Now we watch together sometimes when we feel like spicing things up. I'm still trying for a threesome though.
