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?

When my boyfriend watches porn, he imagines doing all that stuff to me. He is disgusted by hookers, sluts, and porn stars, so I highly doubt he plans on running away with any of the women he sees. He just wants to see some boobs, you know? So no, I don't consider it cheating. It's just an outlet, and inlet, I suppose, for sexual fantasies.
Besides, if porn is cheating for men then women watching their chick flicks should be cheating as well, since most of those films have at least one sex or implied sex scene and half the reason women always watch them is to admire and pine after the guys in them. It's basically porn, womanized. And it isn't cheating either.

I dont count it as cheating at all as long as it isnt interferring with your relationship.
Men (just in my opinion) tend to be more drawn to visual stimulation, women are more mental, so where as a woman might run through the "highlights reel" in her head while masturbating a man might get the same satifaction from watching porn. That being said I know plenty of women (myself included) who enjoy porn occassionally, watching it with my partner is even better.....
each to their own, as long as it isnt becoming a problem in your life and relationship then whats the harm?

Why are you making your life a living hell by watching on what he doea. Its kind of like your waiting on him to do somthing besides. Porn is very addictive and even though its not right people are born with fettishes. They cannot help who they like no matter if its animality, incest, pettite young girls or even rape. If my girl likes torture or wants me to act like im raping her on some foreplay **** imma do so. And guess who go to for info porn. I respect if she doesent want m to look at it but if she wants m to do somthing i never did before im going straight to the enternet

it is a very good discussion , if a partner wants to masturbate when he/she is not with the partner then what is wrong in using porn to get in the mood , however using porn for sexual gratification when the partner is available maybe wrong.
