Copy and pasted this answer from Tanner Edmonds on Quora. I loved it.

Consider the following for a minute here.

  • Porn allows us to dive into our depires
  • Porn gives us the ideal woman we feel aroused to
  • Porn makes us experience a high waves of emotional joy, comfort and sexual relief.
  • Porn can satisfy all of your needs whether sexual or emotionally.

Now your girlfriend

  • She is hoping you desire only her, mind body and spirit
  • She was the ideal women you became aroused to and choose to be your girlfriend. You had plenty of other choices but choose her instead becuase she was what you pictured her to be.
  • With her you can experience a feeling of joy, comfort and sexual tension and release
  • She will always be there for you emotionally and sexually whenever you need it.

So truly think about it. It's not cheating physically your absolutely right. It's legal and in culturally acceptable to watch porn and be in a relationship.

However it's cheating in your mind and your heart. You are using Porn to completely detach all of the same things your girl can give to you for an endless harem of girls that give you only an empty feeling.

They can't hug you. They can't kiss you.

You cannot marry, nor talk to them late at night. They cannot cook you your favorite dinner and give you a back rub even though you lost your job today.

It's not real. It's just Porn. But she is.

Turn off the computer and give her a kiss and tell her how much she means to you today.
