Is watching porn "cheating" on your significant other ?
Things have changed a lot in da age of teh interwebs . How about fidelity ?
I am probably the worst person to be dealing with this topic since I am basically an insensitive pig . However , maybe that gives me an objective perspective many others don't have ? Your assignment , should you choose to accept it is to answer from your perspective the question posed in the title . In order to not bias the results I will delay revealing my position on this . Or maybe you can persuade me to your POV ...
In any case here is some music to help you mull over your answers :
Semantics can be such a drag ... I was hoping to get into the moral issues here , whatever that means to whoever reads it . Personal points of view are welcome to discuss this topic even if the POV is from their knees .
I suppose it depends on how much time is spent viewing the porn. In the early days of the internet there was a young couple I knew, the husband was addicted and watched constantly. They ended up divorced.
Excellent point . Addiction is an important issue no matter what the addiction is . I wonder if others would be as open minded as you appear to be on non-addictive porn use ...
That's part of the reason I posted this thread , to explore other opinions . Those with wives may be on a lot shorter leashes than those without . But that might be mistaken . That's why I am delaying my opinion so as not to bias the results ...
This is a big lift of a question! OK, first and foremost its a topic that requires discussion between the watcher and significant other. Assuming honesty and no addiction, I don't have a moral objection. I know right, me the professed Christian woman! Relax all, my faith and being a woman isn't mutually exclusive. We continue to find ways to improve and prolongthe sexuality of our beings be it through visually explicit material,"trashy"novels, erotic art/literature, Viagra, etc.
If one feels threated by porn in a relationship, again no addiction,perhaps there are problems in the relationship where porn is but a symptom.
I absolutely agree, My sexuality isn't bound to anyone but me. My Wife really doesn't believe that a flat screen compares to what she offers, so she could care less. Me I have no problem leaving a flat screen behind when it comes to real life.
My problem? is in understanding how others can put that screen over and feel that it is more important than real life.
And it doesn't just happen with pornography either.
Excellent point ... I am strongly inclined to agree with that . {big smile of thanks}
OMG....BAD BADFISH!!!
This gets more complicated in the age of teh interwebs . There are interactive chatrooms where one can go to watch live shows AND be watched . Is that cheating ?
More music to help you mull it over [in 5 part harmony !] :
If your significant other views monogamy as a relationshiprequirement,chances are once you've crossed into interactive porn, without partner consent, you're doomed.Now there are those who have no relationship/sexual issues with multiple participants, personally not for me or my guy.
When considering a change to what would be a relationship norm, discussion is paramount! No different than actions between couples....thelet's it you might like it is a better approach than I want this and I'll have it.
Yup , I'm inclined to agree . The internet has all sorts of line straddling aspects to it . Thanks for your perspective .
And I'm glad that's close to settled . I was running out of relevant Beach Boys music ...
Alas, responder seek your perspective. What say you?
Was this due to server delay ? I thought I responded . If not please specify what issue ...
I am in full agreement with your approach .
Sorry for the miscommunication....I'm asking about your POV as in general, overall to your thread
I hate to sound like a wimp but I find myself agreeing with pretty much all of what you said . That said , I'm not sure how I would respond if a woman I was serious about decided to put on webcam shows ...
I don't see a moral issue with people who watch on occasion. Personally I find filming that suggests hot sex way more appealing than porn with everybody's hoo-ha's bouncing and flapping around. I don't think that business is ever ready for a close-up.
Thanks for your perspective . I'm thinking that a lot of women share your POV on that . Suggestion is certainly a lot more subtle than visuals . I suspect that a lot of males have the opposite perspective . They prefer the visuals ...
Yes exactly . The net has made straddling lines too easy . In the past it would have been very difficult to cross those lines . Thanks for your perspective . I concur .
(where do I start ? )
What ?
You keep saying "what your bride would consider". Have you asked your "bride" what she would consider ?
(***facepalms***)
Oh you poor baby!!! You can't beat off when and where ever you want because women are serving ?
No-- not if she's starring in the movie!
Lighten up pat . This is not a thread for you take take out your personal disagreements .
That would be some real acting !
