Moreso asking what the experience with porn is like to those in a relationship. Do you watch alone when needed? Do you watch together? Do you consider it enriching, cheating or something else?

Is you partner a friend, a sexual partner, a romatic partner, somebody that you only share a room with, somebody with whom you follow traditional relationship values such as marriage, sexual exclusivity and such? What is sex to you? To me, masturbation can be made a part of sex, but “simply” making yourself feel good is not sex. In the same way, porn consumption could surely be made a part of sex with a partner. If my sexual partner would watch porn without telling me, I would be hurt and think that I am not enough for them, even though I really try to live by the above: that masturbation and sex satisfy different needs.
Which doesn’t even take into consideration the fact that I wouldn’t watch porn if I had a sexual partner, since porn inherently is immoral, since there is no way the consumer can know how the actors are being treated. MAYBE OnlyFans and such are a bit different, but I don’t know…
Interesting take, thanks for contributing.
