Lol no, and she's rather immature to think so. The only way porn can hurt a relationship is if you are obsessed with it to the point that beating it to moving picutures is more important than your partner. Or if you frequent a porn theatre.

Oh FFS. No it's not cheating, she sounds a little insecure maybe you should have a chat about it and explain to her that it's unhealthy to never find anyone else attractive. It's acting upon it that's the bad thing. Though I find it telling that you think she's being all MEMEME instead of maybe not feeling secure....

Also maybe she needs to check it out herself, she might understand better.

Well, the females have their Edward Cullen's, and the guy's have their porn. Both sexes have to lust after something while being in a relationship, its quite normal. Girls have their own fantasies, as to guys as well, but in a different sense...through porn.
Not all females want an Edward Cullen, I for one hate that sparkly excuse for a vampire.

Is imagining naked women cheating? Don't think so. "Cheating" is when you actually go and find another partner.

Whaaaat?

Oh come on, porn is what helps relationships! The thing that drives men to cheat on their wife is their sexual drive, and porn is a super-awesome-perfect substitute for that. It's cheaper, easier to cum come by, and it stops you from being a moron in certain situations.

Porn has saved relationships for me.
Yet you remain single.


Anyway, its not cheating, its natural to masturbate, but hey, some people think you can get pregnant from blowjobs, some people think that porn ruins relationships. Humanity bites.

First off, 4chan is probably the least risque of the chans, so I wouldn't worry about it. Second, as far as pr0n being cheating, I guess that's up to you, isn't it? Are you threatened by it? Is your relationship weakened by it? The person you need to talk to about such things is not a bunch of internet folk, but your SO.

In a way, it's rather insulting to see your man "getting off" on something else, as if she wasn't good enough. On the other hand, looking at porn isn't cheating in the literal means.

That seems like something that depends on the couple. In the same sense that some couples may be open to sex with others, some couples may not allow for pornography. If one has expectations for the other, and the other breaks those expectations, I think that fits a definition of cheating through being unfaithful to those expectations. Perhaps her expectations can be loosened or not, but I wouldn't say either position is inherently invalid.

That said, I look at it sort of like swearing: offensive to a person only if they've come to view it as offensive, and not (necessarily) harming anyone, and so not necessarily deserving that reaction.

However, there should be something said against willfully doing anything that you know will upset the other.

Yes, it is. Like most things within a marriage, however, it is by default. The couple can change the rules. I would hope it would be talked-about before the vows.

Outside of marriage? There are no couple rules outside of marriage that are not already part of civil law. If one party doesn't like it, they can leave.

TL;DR What is your opinion on the topic?
Oh come on, I've seen posts ten times as long as this. You don't really need to put TL;DR unless it's more than 2000 words IMO.

Anyway, back on topic.

It's a gray area really. Some girls will get very angry about it (like your GF) and some girls probably won't care (haven't met any personally, but I'm sure they exist). Hell some couples watch porn together (from what I've heard, anyway).

If I were you, I'd change the names of my shortcuts to something that she's not likely to be interested in (power tools maybe, IDK)

Well, it's only cheating if at any time you want her to she satisfies you, and you still look at porn.

Other then that: no, it's not and it can help keep a relationship going, cos if you're in the mood and she's not, go bust one out and instead of being angry, you won't care anymore.

Tell her that if she doesn't want you releasing pressure on your own, she can have the opportunity to do it for you. If you are anything like most other guys, she will beg for mercy before long, and let you do what the hell you want. Even if it isn't about porn for you, you can still beat her at her own game.
Awesome post!

That's a brilliant bit of insight there. This may even be expandable to taking nude pics of her for the times she can't be there in person for him. Talk about making her shut-up. lol

No, but I generally don't watch it anyway.
It's not really going to take you away from her, anyway, so it shouldn't be a problem. Unless you care more about porn than your significant other...
:S

That was dealing with the topic... but in regards to that specific example?
It sounds more like she went to one of your favourites to see what you're interested in, was greeted with lewd pictures of women, and was simply overly shocked.

tough one...

one the one hand i should be enough for him, and he looking at porn somehow would make me feel that i'm not.
don't get me wrong, a guys fantasy is his alone and he is free to think about whatever he want's when releasing presure. but visually stimulating by looking at other people / girls is where i draw the line. one might argue that it's only "fantasy enhancement", but still...

to clarify, i'm not opposed to pornography, single guys go wild if you want to^^ but in a relationship you should be statisfied with your partner.

just my oppinion and therefore open for debate and systematic destruction by argument points ;P

I think she is a bit insecure about her body (even though it is MEGA hot (be jealous ;))). It took her forever to start to put out :3

I've watched porn with my girlfriend o_O

Does that mean we were actually having a foursome?
