No. Would you want your Cheney hitting someone's face with the force necessary to create an impression? Ow.

Well, if watching porn is cheating, then I guess the missus has to stop watching those soap operas, because she's secretly fantasiesing about the guys there. I guess we will just have to stop watching tv for good, so no one gets any ideas. It's a fantasy... everyone should realize, that most people have them and they are not 100% exclusively include the wife or husband. Too bad. But it's healthy.. just keep it as a fantasy, not all of them has to be done in real life.

Watching porn with your girlfriend is, obviously, not cheating. Watching porn without your girlfriend is not cheating.
****ing someone else, now THAT'S cheating.

Watching porn with your girlfriend would be a threesome or an orgy!

No girl I've ever met has said that. But they usually want you to either be thinking about them (or nobody in particular).

If my girlfriend told me that she played with herself while she was thinking about somebody else or while looking at porn then I'd be really pissed.

Why? Are you saying you never jerk off while looking at porn or thinking of someone else? If so, why the double standard?

If you are a ******** puritan fundie. But then, everything is bad to them.

I honestly think it's cheating, unless your girlfriend knows and doesn't care.

But I don't want her fantasising sexually about other men, and could not in good faith ask to have her let me fantasise about other women.

I am honestly telling you that. I have when not in a relationship, and have when with a different girl, but not with my current one. I have felt on a couple of very rare occasions a sexual desire for somebody else, but have managed to resist without much effort.

If your girlfriend keeps you happy and satisfied then there's really no need. If she doesn't then you might want to consider switching.

No, it's not cheating. I downloaded and watched dozens of pornos during last semester. My wife knew that and she even watched a few clips. We both concluded that their contents are very boring and that we could do much better.

Why? How is lust for others cheating if you do not act upon it? Everyone has 'lust in their hearts'... that does not mean every man is cheating.

It might not be quite cheating, but it's not quite faithful either.

You are acting on it. You're making a conscious decision to bring yourself to orgasm while contemplating sex with another woman.

Call up your gf and tell her to talk dirty to you instead. Then fantasise about her in a leather thong and bustier (or whatever floats your boat).

I disagree. Unless you want to make the argument that no one is faithful. I can't think of a single person that hasn't lusted over another person while dating someone else.

So you are saying that you weren't 'faithful'. After all, if your SO kept you happy and satisfied, you wouldn't have had this desire for someone else .

I already explained the difference. I didn't go home and imagine her stripping while undergoing a whackathon.
