You're watching another person get fucked. Why isn't that cheating (i do not believe it's cheating but I can't think of a counterargument to this)

....How would it be cheating?

Watching isn't cheating. Touching/contributing is cheating.

Flirting also isn't cheating, but it comes closer.

My take on this is that the only definition of cheating that matters is doing anything in a sexual/romantic way that you feel the need to hide from your partner because they would disapprove and/or feel hurt and betrayed.

For some people that's as little as checking out a hot girl in a bar, and for others that could be as much as not giving the heads up when you're going home with someone else. When you start to pick this stuff apart the actual social rules are fairly arbitrary and only matter to each couple.

I think for the most part most people are not concerned about watching porn because it doesn't constitute any betrayal - i.e. it was implicitly understood to be an ok thing in the relationship beforehand.

For some people, it is. Shit's complicated, personal, and differs from relationship to relationship.

The jury is still out on this one.

I think that's a bit too broad for my tastes.

It's pretty straight forward, though. You set the rules that matter to you and your S.O, that's all there is to it.

And it's good to figure that out because you might think flirting with some girl in a bar and getting her number is just playful banter, but she might feel that's definitely not cool.

It'd be different if you actually knew the pornstar in real life and watched her video. If you don't know the girl in real life it's not likely you'll ever bang her

Really depends on the person

I've read seen some people be okay is professionally shot porn but are against amateur stuff like gw/snap/cams because of the level of interaction in those

Being in person is the key difference; it still wouldn't be cheating but it would certainly be cause for concern.

No, it's not because you are not interacting with another. Howeever, interacting with a camgirl would be cheating.

You're not going to catch a STD from porn, unless you're really trying.

It may not be "cheating" per se. But it can have a negative emotional impact on your partner, because you're essentially saying, they're not good enough for you.

lolwat

I mean, yeah if you're watching porn while your wife is trying to get you in bed with her then that's one thing, but in general just watching adult videos doesn't equate to your partner not being adequate.

Actually watching physical sex happen in front of you is kinda fucked up but that's not cheating either...just odd if you really aren't gonna participate in a situation like that.

I think if a woman doesn't like her guy watching porn it's because she equates "guy masturbating to some chick in a porno" to disrespect to her, since why is he jacking off to a porno instead of creaming his girl? Does her guy get more turned on by some random skank in a porno? I think it's a legitimate train of thought honestly, but no, it's not cheating.
