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?

To masturbate in a relationship isn't wrong or cheating, in fact it could be quite the opposite. It could be the key to more sexual desire and more thrilling sex. It is only in the male nature to take every opportunity to feel pressure, so if she thinks that it is cheating, she turns into the bad guy for trying to withhold you from pleasure. If it is good a religious reason, than don't argue about that, but it isn't cheating. If you want more information, visit http://www.psychologytoday.com/articles/200906/okay-so-he-enjoys-masturbating

I'm in the same situation very touchy object for me it's really a turn off I've told my husband times he stops for a little bit but it all starts all over again as a woman I don't like it's disrespectful he's not respecting my feelings for its a turn off and I don't understand why he keeps doing it disregarding my feelings. I don't know what to do anymore. It's a very touchy topic for me and I know exactly how you feel:(

Yes, porn can destroy a marriage. But if you talk it out as a couple it can be used as a sex tool.. We watched it occasionally together before lovemaking and it really enhanced the moment for both of us.  Over time though, my wife realized deep down that it wasn't right. We still have great sex even though I still watch porn and masturbate.  Sometimes one just needs a release when your partner isn't "in the mood".  Remember, guys are different than girls. So, I guess your at the point that my wife was at. Talk it out. Is it interfering with your sex life? If so, porn is not a good idea. It should never take the place of lovemaking. In my case, I could have sex every day, so my masturbating to porn once or twice a week is not going to hurt our lovemaking.  Hope this helps.

I've been married for 12 years, and waited until two years ago to have children because my husband kept looking at porn. I thought he finally saw the light and stopped, but a couple of weeks ago, I found out he was still doing it. Now I have a two year old and am facing a serious dilemma over what to do because I know for sure now that he is never going to stop, but I don't want to raise a child alone. Just so many emotions going on right now. Sorry you're going through this too. It's awful.

I'm confused. Are you watching porn by yourself? Or another guy? Or with your wife or girlfriend?  Sometimes a couple needs a little "kick start" or help with intercourse, nothing wrong with that. But 2 guys watching porn or sitting by yourself watching it seems a little strange.
