It is something that needs to be discussed. I would never engage in a relationship with a man who thought that my watching porn was either cheating or a reflection of his skills in the bedroom. I have no problem with my partner watching porn. Heck - producing porn is how he pays his bills (in volatile market, only stable investment is porn).
But that's my relationship and come out of discussions when formalizing our relationship. If porn is a contentious issue for you, discuss it up front.
I don't think it's cheating, even in situations where the partner is unaware. There are various reasons people do it and to label it as a betrayal is irrational.
It will be porn or the imagination, a stranger on the screen, a co-worker or the SO's best friend. Take your pick. I don't think any kind of sex, alone or not, is had with an empty mind.
If it is replacing sex with the SO, necessary for sex or if it is an obsession or compulsion, there is a problem.
There is a problem if you are secretly doing something that your SO doesn't approve of. Doesn't matter what you call it; it's a problem that needs to be addressed and resolved one way or another. If you think their not approving of you watching pornography is extreme, then maybe you shouldn't be with them. But you shouldn't deceive them in any case.
Question I don't think has been asked. For everyone who feels it is wrong or a form of cheating, do you also think this about solo masturbation in general that doesn't include watching porn?

I don't consider either "cheating" per se. But I consider it wrong if the person you're with doesn't approve and you do it anyway without being upfront and honest about it.
My personal opinion: Both watching pornography and fantasizing about someone other than your SO while masturbating are wrong. Solo masturbation in and of itself is not wrong, because you're not having sex with someone outside the relationship (either physically or in your mind). You're having sex with yourself, someone who is obviously part of the relationship you're currently in

No it's not wrong, we are talking apples and oranges here.
Pornography can be used between couples every now and then if they want. That is not the problem.
Pornography can be very addictive, that is the problem. Sex addictiction is a very real problem peeps. If you don't know that then you are living under a rock or in serious denial.
An assertion without justification or evidence whatsoever, and I know of many specific relationships where your assertion is completely false. I think such ideas come from a false morality or an unthinking acceptance of politically correct indoctrination! LOL
Ad homiem attacks have failed to strengthen your position on this question.
