Yes, it is a form of cheating but not on the same level. One is actually breaking a covenant and joining with one or more fleshs when they sleep around with another person. They also can bring sexual disease and cause jealousy and murder by the other party. The chances of a marriage being destroyed is greater if they do cheat physically, too. Yes, both are evil and wrong. Yes, both are types of forms of cheating. But they are not on the same level of sins, though. One sin is greater than the other.

Just went through the whole list. Adultery is never connected to cheating. That is a modern English idea.
The modern idea of "cheating" is not in the Bible.
Adultery is. Fornication is. But it's not "cheating" in the context of relationships or marriage.
Who is cheated out of deserved gain when someone commits adultery?
It's just not a helpful way of approaching the topic by using the word.
Do you see what I'm saying?

Amen. Sometimes it gets a little embarrassing when they are lovey dovey with each other, but I have been blessed with such great examples of what a Godly marriage is and made me know what I want and don't want in a marriage and that is to have God at the center and to be accountable to both God and each other. And I know what I can do to embarrass my kids when that time comes
Lol

I agree with you. Marriage is a religious/spiritual binding, made by God, NOT MAN.
No government or institution can officiate a marriage. Only God can do that.
"What God has put together, let no man separate".
I would never advise someone to go against the common Christian culture of ceremonial/legal marriage, but the point is that it is not the institution that binds the two into one, it is just a public recognition of what God is already doing.

Let's be real...
Is porn cheating?? I don't know
is watching porn wrong?? Absolutely
Many young women move to the "big city" thinking their going to be a huge star there. Their absolutely naive to the fact that there are predators out there that will take advantage of them in a micro second. These scumbags tell them anything to gain their trust, and take advantage of them by putting them on film. Many of these "young women" are just kids, literally just out of high school. How would it make you feel if your son or daughter (it's not just women) were to be "tricked" into doing a porn scene? I have attempted to stop watching porn completely after knowing a friend who was taken advantage of by a slick talking snake oil salesman. she became suicidal and has never been the same since. In the moment she thought it was worth the money, but immediately after she regretted it immensely. It makes people feel inhuman, and that should be enough to make people stop watching it. I never judge them, who knows what's going on in their world that would make them feel as though the only way to support themselves was to get into this. 99.99% of people who attempt to become stars in Hollywood fail. and what do they do when their dreams are crushed?? They resort to the porn industry out of desperation to make money or as their last shot at fame.
like every single person, I have moments of weakness, but anytime I feel like searching the internet I just remember what the women have to go through emotionally and spiritually and it stops me in my tracks. If my not watching it and preaching against it does 1 iota of good then it's worth the time and effort. No one should ever have to go through that type of pain so that someone can have a few moments of pleasure. It's not the fact that porn involves sex, it's the fact that porn ruins lives, not necessarily the person watching porn, but the women that are taken advantage of in the making of the film.
In today's culture it's more and more common to meet a young woman that was involved in something like this, and you can see first hand what toll it takes on them. I think this effects the younger generations more directly, people my age and younger usually come to find out that someone we know was "involved" at some point, and it's usually someone you would never expect. It's such a sad subject that should probrably have a much longer debate.

If your not married and watch porn, who exactly are you cheating on? Cheating is an action, its when a married person commits adultery. Otherwise, I think its just lust, a desire that should not be in your heart if your married (except for your spouse). Jesus said "That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart" (Matthew 5:28). This expounded on the commandment; "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife" (Exodus 20:17). But how do you commit adultery if your single and the person you lust for is single? King David lusted for Bathsheba, which lead to adultery, this is why a married person should not be looking at naked women. By the same token, I imagine a single person looking at naked woman could lead to fornication. I suspect that a single person lusting for another single person is just normal attraction? Its in our genes and without it, none of us would probably be here. I better stop now, I'm starting to confuse myself

If worrying about STDs is the only concern a spouse has with actual cheating, something is seriously wrong with the marriage to begin with.
I am saying there are Christian wives on this site, right now, today, considering leaving their husbands because the husband is into porn. I'm thinking that's as real as it gets, even if you think it doesn't define reality.

As I said in the Ladies forum, hubby does look at porn, (or did. Honestly, we haven't talked about it in a while, so I don't know if he still does.) It doesn't bother me. Not my thing, but it doesn't bother me, because his heart is always for me.
We have something most couples don't have -- a 100% guarantee that our spouse will never cheat on us. He won't because of the pain he lives with from an ex who did it to him twice. Me? Simply because, "Ew, that's gross!" along with I could never hurt him like she hurt him. He's too sweet and loves me deeply.
I know it's sin. He knows it's sin, but if we judge each other over any sin, we wouldn't have made it past our wedding. God's law boils down to love God fully and love others fully, so the second we love self fully, we sin. It's been decades since our wedding, but I am absolutely sure I had selfish thoughts of one kind or another during the wedding. The only one I do remember is when Dad and I stood at the back of the church and everyone stood up and looked at me. I didn't want to be the center of attention so badly, that was the moment I realized we should have eloped.
That thought was sin because it wasn't loving to our family and friends.
So, he sins. I knew that before I married him, but still loved him and still do. He accepts me, sins and all, as I accept him, sins and all.
Probably why it's hard for me to imagine most women won't accept this sin. Also, why I was curious what others think in front of opened doors. (The Ladies forum feels like it's behind closed doors. lol)
