Is it Cheating to Watch Porn? — Alyson and Tripp Lanier

Is watching porn the same as cheating on your partner?

Is it wrong to fantasize about someone other than your partner?

And what are we really seeking when we choose to watch adult entertainment?

Today, my wife Alyson and I try to help someone who has a different perspective on porn than his partner. It may be tempting to get stuck in a debate about who is right or wrong, but what if we tried to understand what’s driving us to seek porn in the first place?

In this conversation:

  • Is watching porn cheating?
  • Fantasizing about other women
  • What are we really seeking through porn?
  • Using porn to distract us from anxiety and tension
  • Does porn weaken sexual energy?
  • Having different sexual values than our partner
