Why is watching porn to be considered a form of cheating? (wives, married)

[The Siobhan]

I have married friends who say that if their spouse watches porn, it is a form of cheating. How is that? There is no emotional connection. There is no physical connection. All it happens to be is a visual and/or aural stimulation.

Is it considered a form of cheating to you? Why?

[BirdieBelle]

I would not consider it cheating if I were aware of it.

If it were a hidden habit, I would consider it a problem.

[Trimac20]

No, I don't consider it cheating.

[Ruth4Truth]

It depends. Porn can be extremely addicting. Men have lost their wives and families because of porn addiction. It's a matter of degree, I'd say.

First of all, watching porn is not considered a form of cheating, at least among adults with an IQ above 90 and an age above 12.

Almost everyone of every gender looks at porn. And anyone who considers it "adultery" has massive, massive insecurity issues.

If it was done in secret maybe, but they could watch it together.

While it's not "adultery" per se, not everybody is fond of living with a scumbag.

Of course, because people watching porn are scumbags.

Those who are married or in a live-in situation and watch it alone ARE.
