Is watching porn with another person of the opposite sex (other than your SO) considered cheating?

[Anonymous]

I was hanging out with a female friend that is in a relationship. Started talking about porn. We kept talking and talking about things we've seen and we learned, then there was something a bit more hardcore (a girl taking a big bottle of pepsi in her p...), so I searched for that video and showed it. She then showed me some porn she knows and so on. So we basically ended watching porn together :) Nothing happened, we had our clothes on at all times, neither threw any kind of innuendos I know, I wouldn't be that pleased to know my girl watched porn with some dude, but still: would this situation count as cheating? Why/Why not?

No, I would say that probably doesn't count as cheating. Sure, you guys didn't do anything physical but emotional cheating is a very real thing. You can be super flirty with, hanging around people that your s/o asked you not to and I think that would still be cheating, for example. Even if there was no actual physical contact that is more than platonic.

So.. if her boyfriend is okay with the idea and she wouldn't have to hide how you two watched porn together from him, it's fine.

It wouldn't really be cheating, but it isn't right. That was a sexual situation that you both consented to even though nothing happened between the two of you exactly, and the SO probably won't be happy about it. It's more the situation and agreeing to be put into it that's upsetting, rather than the actual actios you did together

Well, you didn't do anything,, so technically it shouldn't be considered cheating... but I mean how would you react if your girl told you she watched porn with a guy friend?
I would personally be upset
And chances are if you decide to tell your girlfriend she wouldn't be so sure it was just watching porn

There are three things that are important for answering this question:

1. What were your intentions in watching pron with the girl?
2. What were the girl's intentions in watching porn with you?
3. What can your girlfriend reasonably believe about the incident (and remember that she cannot necessarily trust anything that you say to her about what happened, because cheaters routinely lie.)

I don't think this would quality as cheating. Nothing but looking at some porn together is not that bad and could prove to be educational for both of you. I take it you discuss the activity on the video with her.

Do you watch porn with your girl friend? If not why not? If you would be ok with her watching with a guy friend then she should be comfortable with you too.

It's highly unusual and most ladies I know would have a major problem with it.

[WhatTheHellAmy]

not at all

[GhostOnToast]

Not cheating exactly because you didn't come into contact with her physically. But it's still a bit weird that you watched porn with another girl. Plus you wouldn't like it if your girlfriend did that, so don't do it again

[igfunnyboi]

If she did this, will you consider it as cheating? You got your answer there.

[Asker]

As mentioned i wouldn't be that pleased... actually hard to say what I think. Technically speaking it is not cheating, but then again it is pretty intimate. It's a twisted situation. I don't know what I would do to be honest.

[igfunnyboi]

Are you planning to talk about this to your girlfriend?

[ArtDent]

Is it something you would tell your SO? No? Cheating

[83yeah]

Thats cheating in my book. I think its something that will probably lead to sex. If I was in a relationship and my partner came home and told me she'd been watching porn with someone else, i'd be pretty pissed.

[abc--123]

I don't think so

its pretty fucked up

Technically no because you didn't do anything with one another but if you wouldn't be comfortable with your girlfriend doing the same then you shouldn't do it either.

no I don't think so not as long as nothing happened to you too
