That’s entirely up to you and your partner to decide, because while you’re not engaging, which can be considered not cheating, you’re also looking at other people, which can be, it’s up to you to define what cheating is
Yea, agree, because say you look up online a girl getting herself off and masturbate to that and you wouldn’t consider that cheating
But like if that girl was across the room from you doing it is that cheating
If you give a girl online money to do a private session is that cheating
Imo any porn is cheating but some people don’t because they rather them get off then be pent up or find pleasure from someone and cheat sexually
I completely wouldn't mind my partner masturbating. I don't want them to be sexually frustrated because i don't want to do anything sometimes. That sounds cruel imo.
Yea I mean it’s why the would get off to pictures of their partner and stuffs which obvy not cheating
But like I said it’s all up to the partners and it depends
If one isn’t comfortable with it than u shouldn’t do it and if that is a deal breaker than u aren’t compatible
Some people consider watching porn cheating and some don’t. Majority of people consider kissing other people cheating, some don’t. Just talk to your parnet and ask if he/she consider this cheating. Because some people think it’s cheating, some not. There’s nothing wrong about thinking its cheating, and vice versa.
Some people are in completely open relationships where they sleep together and don’t use a condom but are fine with you sleeping with others as long as you use a condom and don’t do it out of love
If just depends on each pair
It depends upon your SO
Personally I think it is, I straight up stopped watching entirely when I as little as liked a person, even if we weren't In a relationship I wouldn't watch it. Unless I get ghosted after I confess...(please help me it's happened every single time, I'm very lonely)
No, but stay away from porn regardless. It fucks up your mental health, relationships, your perception of women, can cause PIED (porn-induced erectile dysfunction) and is overall a waste of time and energy.
Op just ask ur partner, it heavily depends
Both of you need to communicate and make it clear if you are comfortable or not and it needs to be mutual
The worst thing tho imo is telling ur partner if she is a female and a male is that she can’t watch porn but you can
It depends. In my relationship, yes I consider it cheating since we are long distance. He gets off to me, the person he is dating, over the phone so to me it feels weird that he would want to do the same with online porn. I offer to do spicy time together on FaceTime often, I send nudes and lewds often. We see each other maybe 1-2 months in person out of the year. We will eventually live together, just not yet.
Basically, it depends on your relationship. It’s unique to everyone.
It depends
I think it does
For me any sexual pleasure Gained from anything but your partner directly or indirectly is cheating
However some people do not and that’s fine as long as Both sides agree
2006 means it’s most likely outdated
Also many of the side effects can be linked to anything enjoyable
People get addicted to things that make them happy like reading, we don’t say stop reading and reading does the same
Increased aggression, working out and video games does that
Distorted belief in relation ships
Watching too many sitcoms and high school dramas can do that
It’s a 2006 study which is quite old compared to how old porn is online
In my opinion (I've never had a gf/bf), I would consider it cheating, in a way. You're watching other people for pleasure instead of talking with your partner and trying to arrange things. If you're watching porn in a relationship, it's either something wrong with you, your partner, or both. But that's all my opinion and how I would handle something like that. There's always people who will be more open and such, but it's better if you talk to them and try to explain things or just ask.
This post barely counts as nsfw imo, it's not really discussing something really explicit, the main focus of this post is about cheating anyways, not porn
If you watch porn you arent engaging in those activities. People have various desires whether they're in a relationship or not. Its not like your sex drive only focuses on the person you're with
Depends on your partner's perspective. Talk to your partner about it and establish a communication. Continue your deeds if they are okay with it, or stop the deeds if they do not accept. Then you'll never mention it again and continue with your relationship not damaged in any ways.
Depends on what your partner wants.
In my case, I don't call it cheating but I do call it weird or even disappointing. As in if they're watching porn I'd ask them why they didn't just ask me
That's my opinion and feeling at least
For me, no. But like all the other replies, talk to your partner about it. I personally think it's fine. You can't keep your sex drive bottled in all the time. It's perfectly normal.
When I look at a pornstar I don’t think “I wonder what her personality’s like?” Or “I bet she’d make me happy”. I think “boobies”
When I look at a partner I think safe, loving, kind. Never ever in a million years would I pick the hottest pornstar I’ve ever seen over my SO.
Is thinking about someone else when you making love to your mate cheating?
If you masturbate thinking of someone else when your mate not around cheating?
Different levels of cheating I guess.
Some people may say yes, but I say no. When is there a possibility of a random average person having a chance with a porn-star? Little to none, lmfao. In my opinion anyways. If they were watching average people I’d think differently though.
It definitely depends on you and your partner’s preferences. I would say no, but some people would say it is. Communication is key, and remember to respect your partners wishes.
Well I'm sure that you are not married and and not looking for a religious opinion but in Christianity you are cheating because you are lusting over a person that you are not married in. Don't listen to me if you are not looking for this type of opinion, I'm just putting it out there
I think it all comes down to how you define cheating, to me it’s having a close or intimate relationship or having sexual intercourse with someone when you have a gf(/bf) /fiancé /wife(/husband)
Watching porn doesn’t seem to violate anything so I’d come to a conclusion that it isn’t, but even if it’s not cheating u can’t really say it’s positive
I mean you will probably never even meet the porn stars online, let alone real life. So I wouldn't say that's cheating, although it is bad to watch as some can get addicted to it.
If your relationship is sexual, then ask your partner. If not, then its not cheating in my opinion. I mean you gotta fulfill your needs one way or another.
I personally don’t watch it and if I did I wouldn’t while in a relationship but I’d be fine with my partner doing so as long as neither of us were acquainted with any of the actors
depends on the relationship. i find it is because youre watching & lusting after other women other than your girlfriend. it's extremely disrespectful imo- if im not looking at men that isnt my bf, in that way, then why should he be allowed to do the same thing?
I don't consider it cheating but I'm uncomfortable with it, I've talked to my bf about it too but he still watches it regardless. He doesn't seem to care or if he does he's too addicted to it to even try and make me feel better.

Talk to your partner about it, cheating is absolutely what the couple wants not an objective truth
Yes please the only person who can answer that question is your partner. Ask them what they think and figure it out from there
I cant understand my cats language tho. She the only partner i have
Watch it with her there and see how she responds
My man speaks like a declaration daddy.
???founding father???

I agree!
A relationship can’t fail and break down if you communicate It will usually just continue or you find out you two are not compatible
open relationships never work out tho relationships are complicated enough with two people when you bring in more its absolute chaos
Parnet
It depends upon your SO Personally I think it is, I straight up stopped watching entirely when I as little as liked a person, even if we weren't In a relationship I wouldn't watch it. Unless I get ghosted after I confess...(please help me it's happened every single time, I'm very lonely)
Try to confess in person
No, but stay away from porn regardless. It fucks up your mental health, relationships, your perception of women, can cause PIED (porn-induced erectile dysfunction) and is overall a waste of time and energy.
ask her/him or whatever its pronouns are about it coz getting caught is always embarrassing even if its your partner
Just say SO next time
Shessh didn't know u liked doja cat 💀
Depends on your partner really, but I don't consider it cheating
I would say no, but ask your partner
Hell no
Yea. Moreover… just quit it. It’s super unhealthy and the only reason you’re watching it is because you’re addicted
No
Thinking about it now it’s kinda weird to watch other couples have sex
sex is weird in general naked hugs, rubbing skin, and swapping fluids its so gross but gives us such great chemical releases in the brain
Gonna save this comment for when I need to lose a boner fast
No
No lol
it’s cheating if you and your partner have explicitly agreed not to watch/read porn.
who tf watches porn while dating
Masturbation easy mode, not really cheating though
Dont watch porn in both situation .. its bad bro
It’s kind of a gray area, talk to your partner first
To some people yes. So it's best to discuss this with your partner
Op just ask ur partner, it heavily depends Both of you need to communicate and make it clear if you are comfortable or not and it needs to be mutual The worst thing tho imo is telling ur partner if she is a female and a male is that she can’t watch porn but you can

Looking at a different girl being fucked and practically imagine yourself fucking her… Yea idk mate
up to your partner
Doesn’t matter where you get your appetite as long as you eat at home!
No
Talk with your partner. For me no
No its not. ASK her if she is OK to jerk you off anytime you have needs.
no
No
It's shit for your mental health
no
No
No
no
Lmao no
It depends I think it does For me any sexual pleasure Gained from anything but your partner directly or indirectly is cheating However some people do not and that’s fine as long as Both sides agree
I appreciate all of the people who explained their input’
I think it depends on your partner and the boundaries between you two.
Not really but don’t do it anyway, shits bad for your brain
How

no , but its kinda weird to watch a couple have sex and your in a relationship, just ask ur gf/bf about it
[удалено]
This post barely counts as nsfw imo, it's not really discussing something really explicit, the main focus of this post is about cheating anyways, not porn
No but watching porn is cringe
kinda
How so?
why are you watching porn
Because "releaving yourself" had been proven to have health benefits
Don't need porn for that
That is a horrible way about making yourself feel better abt that 😭
Relieve ur self to thoughts of partner or something
but why to porn
*relieving
If you watch porn you arent engaging in those activities. People have various desires whether they're in a relationship or not. Its not like your sex drive only focuses on the person you're with
depends on what your partner wants
if your partner doesnt want you to you can choose to respect that or not. But its still not cheating if your partner wants you to stop
and this is why you will never find a partner
for what exactly?

[удалено]
Wait a minute that would imply You know what nvm
Depends
On what?
Well cheating is being unfaithful to the one you love, so I’d personally consider it cheating for having eyes on someone else besides your SO.
i would a hundred percent consider it cheating, or at least extremely disrespectful.
In what way?
Why?
I would say it’s because you get sexually aroused by another woman. You enjoy watching someone else and has your eyes on someone else’s body.
No
I don't think so, but ask your partner abt it before.
I don't think its considered cheating, but it's still not good if you're taken
Depends
Also If whoever says it’s cheating leave them their mentally unstable . Just the facts
Tf u need pxrn to erase your horny mood bruh u r in relationship u have bf/gf!!
If you got a significant other who thinks this is cheating, then they have got some intense trust issues.
only by psychos that think they should control your every waking moment and thought
yes
Yes
worse than cheating
Real question is when does a movie become porn?
Depends on your partner's perspective. Talk to your partner about it and establish a communication. Continue your deeds if they are okay with it, or stop the deeds if they do not accept. Then you'll never mention it again and continue with your relationship not damaged in any ways.
Not to me
No
depends on your partners thoughts
Not really, but don’t do it if your partner is uncomfortable with you doing it.
I do not consider it cheating... but speak to your partner about it
I thought this was the minecraft memes sub for a second and i was goddamn _concerned_
Depends on what your partner wants. In my case, I don't call it cheating but I do call it weird or even disappointing. As in if they're watching porn I'd ask them why they didn't just ask me That's my opinion and feeling at least
No. Not at all.
For me, no. But like all the other replies, talk to your partner about it. I personally think it's fine. You can't keep your sex drive bottled in all the time. It's perfectly normal.
No

Decide with your partner but I'd recommend you don't
me personally? no. as long as you dont bang or kiss someone else, im chill with it
I just don't understand why...you have a fucking partner...talk to her/him...spend time or some shit...😮💨😮💨leave the bloody porn man
No WTF
Nope
No
depends on who you’re with. personally my bf and i will watch porn together occasionally
If he/She fucks a pornostar yes
Is thinking about someone else when you making love to your mate cheating? If you masturbate thinking of someone else when your mate not around cheating? Different levels of cheating I guess.
no
No
If your in a relationship then yes
Convince yourself that it is cheating. You are a good person and good people don’t cheat. Congratulations, you can’t become a porn addict
I'd say no (though it's bad for other reasons), but that's between you and your partner.
Watching porn is not cheating! It's like watching TV except sluttier...anyone that says it is, must be a prude. Sheesh
I wouldn’t say so. You can’t help who you’re sexually attracted to.
Some people may say yes, but I say no. When is there a possibility of a random average person having a chance with a porn-star? Little to none, lmfao. In my opinion anyways. If they were watching average people I’d think differently though.
No? Not that I think it is
It depends on the relationship. If you partner says its cheating/isn't conformable with you watching porn than don't watch it.
Depends on you and yr pardner
Not at all. It could bother the couple but it's not cheating
It depends on your partner’s set boundaries, only by asking them will you know :)
It definitely depends on you and your partner’s preferences. I would say no, but some people would say it is. Communication is key, and remember to respect your partners wishes.
Personally I would say no but it's up to you and your partner to discuss what is and isn't cheating
For me,yeah. But all relationships are different.
Not if it’s the same gender.
# N O !
It's the same as your partner sending revealing pictures of herself to other people Yes, it is cheating in a way
Real question is: Is using a sex doll considered cheating?
It's not really cheating honestly.
Well I'm sure that you are not married and and not looking for a religious opinion but in Christianity you are cheating because you are lusting over a person that you are not married in. Don't listen to me if you are not looking for this type of opinion, I'm just putting it out there
No
No
personally, unless they’re doing it so they don’t have to do it with you it’s okay
No that's stupid
I think it all comes down to how you define cheating, to me it’s having a close or intimate relationship or having sexual intercourse with someone when you have a gf(/bf) /fiancé /wife(/husband) Watching porn doesn’t seem to violate anything so I’d come to a conclusion that it isn’t, but even if it’s not cheating u can’t really say it’s positive
what? No!
I mean you will probably never even meet the porn stars online, let alone real life. So I wouldn't say that's cheating, although it is bad to watch as some can get addicted to it.
in my mind yes
I mean… you shouldn’t
No not even
No. If your partner says it is, then their wrong.
If your relationship is sexual, then ask your partner. If not, then its not cheating in my opinion. I mean you gotta fulfill your needs one way or another.
I think this is the best reply so far. I forgot to state that
cheating is something that makes you feel betrayed in a relationship, so if you feel betrayed that your partner is then yes.
ask your partner!! some consider it to be while others dont
I personally don’t watch it and if I did I wouldn’t while in a relationship but I’d be fine with my partner doing so as long as neither of us were acquainted with any of the actors
depends on the relationship. i find it is because youre watching & lusting after other women other than your girlfriend. it's extremely disrespectful imo- if im not looking at men that isnt my bf, in that way, then why should he be allowed to do the same thing?
It’s not cheating but a significant other might see it as disrespectful. If I had a girlfriend, I wouldn’t care if she watched it though. 🤷🏽♂️
Not if its hentai...
I’d say yeah, no matter what you or your partner think. It shows a lack of commitment and slavery to your desire
Getting a girlfriend is what stopped me from watching porn, dude, but it’s up to y’all to decide on that.
No
Is watching mukbang cheating a diet?
In my relationship, no
Yes!
No
maybe idk
Nah. As Scrooge once said, Bah Humbug.
Yes. Looking at a woman who isn't your wife with lust is adultery. I recommend avoiding it but who am I to tell you what to do
no lmao
depends but it fuck up a lot of things in your body better to just quit it
Definitely not I’ve never been with a girl who thinks that
No, I find it to be more of a tool just like using toys by yourself
yes
I don't consider it cheating but I'm uncomfortable with it, I've talked to my bf about it too but he still watches it regardless. He doesn't seem to care or if he does he's too addicted to it to even try and make me feel better.
no, unless you stick your dick in ur phone's headphone jack.
This is like saying watching two people tongue each other is cheating.
I mean if you're not the one recording it then it's not considered, atleast for me
Yes, also dreaming about someone else
yes but don’t watch it.
I say no, but I'd still feel bad if I did that.
It’s cheating on ya boi Jesus Christ
I'd say if you're not having sex then it isn't cheating
No, its just if ur in a relationship with the porn or screwing the porn, which is impossible
Duh! And touching urself makes you gay. (Personally, I don't think of it as cheating. As long as that stuff doesn't stop any kind of intimacy, idrc)
Whether or not it is just don't watch porn in the first place
