Self Pleasure = Cheating?

[Eagle63]

Not sure if this goes under P101 or relationships and dating, but...

If you're significant other masturbates and\or watches porn, would you consider it cheating or not? why?

[MalditoDia]

no because cheating is with you and another person. just you helping yoself out is not.

[gotaquestion]

It seems obvious to me at least that you cant cheat unless you are physically with another person because thats what cheating is. That wasnt supposed to come across rude so if it did im sorry for that bud but thats what cheating is.

[Manga]

No, I WANT my girlfriend to finger, why would I consider that cheating? No like her hand is going to take her away from me :3

[SydRoosters]

If you're significant other masturbates and/or watches porn, they are most likely thinking about you when they are doing it. She wants you, man! :D

I think Masturbation isn't cheating, but am unsure about watching porn. Tecnically its not cheating but i wouldnt like it, its like you I wouldnt be enough thats y u need the porn. (my opinion)
My mom and i were talking about something like this, but it was about porn and strip clubs.
She said it was cheating. I 1/2 agreed. Its mentally cheating not physical. (dont judge about the mentall cheating thing) He may not be physically touching her/him/what ever but hes think about someone other than you soo. Take what u will from what im saying, because i confuse myself as well :)

[BossHogg]

When I think of cheating I think of physical and emotional acts...ex: watching porn isnt cheating because there is not physical attachment nor emotional attachment so its not the fact that your not good enough he just has fantasies that girls at the time may not be able to fullfill...but he still LOVES you and CARES for you

[sarahann95]

I don't consider it cheating. I consider it cheating when one's significant other is involved with another person, who is not that one person, in a physical and/or emotional way.

[Finn1211]

wanking isnt cheating, porn is

[Nolf]

when you pleasuring yourself your probably thinking about her :wub::wub::wub:

true romance :whoops:

[Stronger]

Both arent, because one is just pleasuring yourself, cant see how thats cheating and watching porn isnt cheating because well ur just watching other people having sex, your not in the act with them, im sure alot of married couples(husbands most likey) have and watch porn

[LuckyLuke]

No, masturbating isn't cheating nor is watching porn.

It takes awhile to get to the point in a relationship to where you "satisfy" one another and for a guy to wait those few weeks/month(s) is very simply unrealistic. We all have urges and they should be satisfied.

After you get to the point in the relationship that those urges are, for the most part, satisfied I still feel as though it's not cheating. You're looking, not touching. If a republican reads communist doctrine, it doesn't make him a communist. If a no-longer-single guy watches porn it doesn't make him a cheater.

And I can't speak for the rest of the guys on the planet but when I had a gf and I'd have a bit of fun alone, I thought of her while watching porn.

[VeryWell]

Not in my opinion. However, if the partner rather masturbate and/or watch porn instead of having a good time with you, it's time for a round of "we need to talk".

I definitely agree to a point but i can also see the otherside of the situation to.

[ShotgunShells]

Only if they don't let you watch.... Naw not really go ahead.

[TheMightyBruce]

Only if they don't let you watch.... Naw not really go ahead.

Agreed

[kaiba]

masturbating is fine becuase well you cant just be self celibate forever can you. But if you watch porn then its like your girlfriend doesnt turn you on

[LoganB_]

nope
