My boyfriend masterbates to other girls (porn) is that bad? Is it cheating? I don't know how I should feel

Most guys just do it out of pleasure, nothing personal to the female. Talking to him could bring you insights into why he does it, and then you can judge by yourself. Porn is to guys what the afternoon soaps, or romance novels are to women.

As a man, I can tell you this is not cheating. We are just so sexual, we need to release our sexual tension more than women.

Allowing us to view porn and get off that way, is better then having it all bottled up, becoming a sex maniac and possibly seeking the attention of other girls. My ex-gf complained all the time that I watched porn and masterbated, so I told her I'd stop, just for her. After a month, she noticed a dramatic change in my behavior. I was more aggressive, rude, mean, etc. After a month, she asked me to start back up again. :P

And lastly, porn is just a way to start the engine, if you know what I mean. I watch porn and that turns me on, but I always switch gears over to my girlfriend sometime during my "session".

I feel dirty now, being so open and honest.
