Debate: is watching porn cheating?

I know everyone has their own opinions, I am curious what you guys think.  Is it ok to masturbate watching porn, or is that a form of betraying your significant other?  Or is it circumstancial, and up to the people in each individual relationship to decide together?

That's so wrong it is a lie, to the relationship if it were just masturbating then that's normal behavior but when you need to look at other woman other than your partner to get off sexually and do it on the sly or even if she knows about it that's a road to disaster and its not  being very loyal to your partner. the 2 of you should be the only sexual arousers in your sex life together.

how do you mean competitive ? they tried to sleep with your man ? if that is the case you need to do a better job of selecting your friends . if your man cheated than i say good riddence to them both and they did you a favor .
i assume every guy she meets is going to try to sleep with my wife .i want her intensely so why wouldnt others ?  but that has nothing to do with my wife . my wife assumes the same thing of women .
porn is not an alternative to women or sex with your wife . porn is stroking material . fantasy ideas . the excitement of dreaming of sex with women we know we will never have . but it is not reality .  there is no competition .

and really , if your husband prefers to watch porn over sex with you isnt that a big hint that he is no longer attracted to you and its time to move on ?

you just said that you feel you are not good enough for your husband because of something he watches on tv or the computer . you also said that your husband cheated on you and that porn is stoping you from rebuilding your relationship . did he cheat on you with a porn movie ? did he take the porn movie to a seedy motel and have degrading sex with the porn movie ? no !

obviously you dont give your husband the one thing he needs most from you ..... a divorce !

if you choose to stay with a man who disrespects your commitment to each other than i am sorry to inform you that YES you do deserve to be cheated on . no one deserves anything more than they are willing to accept . you think you are not good enough because he watches porn .... reality is you are not good enough because you think you are not good enough for a man who cheats on you . it doesnt matter what anyone else in the world thinks of you . if you do not think you are better than a husband that cheats on then you are not .

i worship my wife . she makes me a better man than i ever thought i could be . she has given me a more satisfying sex life than i thought posible . but unless she can give my my harem of rhianna , ciara , the old jenna jameson , and britney spears i will have to continue to fantasize and use porn during my masturbation sessions.

pretty much everything in excess is destructive . i know a guy who was so focused on getting his business to make a million dollars that he totally neglected his family and lost his wife and kids .
porn is no different than sexual movies , or graphic nudity , or romance novels . they are all intended to stimulate and arouse . masturbation is normal and healthy . i for one like to have either something to watch or something i have seen to fantasize about while doing it .
