Just curious about what everyone thinks here.

I don't think it is.

I would stay far... FAR away from a girl who had the mindset that porn is cheating. That can only indicate much bigger nonsensicle arguments down the road

Don't you think this poll will be a little biased? I mean, 50% of the people here have their porn server specs listed in their sig!

Doesn't this poll usually result in locking/deletion and a vacation for the OP?

Looking at porn pics or videos is NOT cheating ... any activity involving only one person s/b fine IMO.

Depends on what you're wankin off to. If it's Midgets N Latex 27, nah.
If the girl next door is sitting in front of her webcam, yeah.

No, and I wouldn't stay long with a woman that thought so. That's a good sign to me that she's built for stupid.

I think it depends on whether or not you're in a different area code or something.

What if the girl next door is changing into her nightie with the window blinds open?

Stalkerrific! And are you wankin off, or are you putting your girlfriend's panties on your head?

Upon deeper inspection of that statement, I'm pretty sure you're screwed either way. It's best to just leave her alone, as tempting as she is.

I find that most guys look at porn/masturbation as an outlet for frustration or lack of self esteem in their own life. It is a cheap, quick thrill that satisfies them enough that they don't have to take a proactive step in finding a partner (SO) and moving on with a productive life.

Of course, that is all done subconsciously, most guys think of it as quick enjoyment, but I find that porn has negative aspects. I find that the only times that I have looked at porn were times where I was unsatisfied with my life, or frustrated with where I was in my life. And it is a losing battle, the more you feel despondent about your life, the more you turn to porn to give you that quick, cheap fix, and the more you don't deal with the real issues.

Yes, it is cheating. Cheating you out of cool relationships. Cheating you from viewing others in a manner that could build relationships (i.e. - viewing every pretty girl that passes your way as a girl you would like to have sex with and therefore being incapable of treating them as a human being). Fantasizing about a girl that other than physical beauty is probably really damaged emotionally means that you only regard physical beauty in relationships and therefore become calloused to mostly everything else. Building relationships with that mindset will eventually cheat you out of a great relationship with a girl that would make you a better person.

As for the learning aspect of porn, :roll:... there are plenty of books out there that talk about sex if you want to learn, but seriously, wouldn't you rather learn with someone that you can be vulnerable with and learn together through talking about it and experimenting, rather than a Cathode Ray Tube or LCD that puts up images that can't reciprocate those cheap thrills? (run-on, I know for you grammar nazis)

I feel sorry for you if you think wanting to have sex with someone means you cannot treat them as a human. :(

What about if I go over and knock on her front door and ask her to hide me from some merciless russian kgb agents because I stole the codes to thier nuclear bombs or satellite earth-quake generating machines or something on that order. bow chicka bow chicka chicka wowow chicka.

It really depends on your definition of how you treat a person as a human being.

My criteria is a bit strict. But I have found that I have deeper, longer lasting friendships because of that. **There have been times in my life (times of doubt) where I chose not to do this (very regretable) :(**

Sure most people can treat each other with a certain level of civility. I have even seen people "mask" their true nature, just to attract a girl they want to have sex with.

But my definition of treating a person as a fellow human being is treating them as you would treat yourself. In other words, being genuine and honest with them (Meaning you can't be anybody other than who you genuinely are in front of someone just to impress them <most guys that just think about pretty girls they want to have sex with do this quite frequently> ). Treating them with respect, but with respect that is innate in every human, as well as respect that is earned. Mind you, I notice a pretty girl just like every other Joe Schmoe out there, but I find that if I do the above, I get to know the person on a more genuine level, and from there I can see if the person is a genuine human being or not. It works with same gender friends, too. If the person is at all fake while I am being genuine, you can spot it a mile away. But again, the issue is that porn somehow skews your view of women to only look for physical beauty.

You take half of the guys in ATOT and you show them a picture of a pretty girl, and the first thing they say or do, is "I'd do her." :roll:

If they see a girl that doesn't fit their view of beauty (which is totally physical to them), they shun her or make lewd remarks. (Example - the picture of the 23 year old that many joked as looking 43) From what I could deduce from the OP who posted it, she was a perfect match in personality and looks for him (and that is what made her beautiful).

Just because you have sex with someone doesn't mean you have to form any kind of relationship. There is nothing at all wrong with keeping them mutually exclusive.

Personally, I would screw any non-diseased woman that offered...regardless of whether I "liked" them or not.
