Pornography
Since my discussion on monogamy, I have realized that most of you think that cheating is wrong and monogamy is the only way to go (unless, of course, you have an agreement with your partner to be open).
I would define cheating as sexual stimulation, whether it be oral or just plain out intercourse, by someone other than your partner. Some say that watching pornography is cheating. I guess I can understand that, in some cases, porn could cause a partner to fantasize more about the women/men in the videos and find themselves less attracted to their partner.
My question to all of you is:
What do you define as cheating? And, more importantly, Is pornography cheating (especially if the spouse doesn't approve of it)?

"Don't 'brake' your lil arm"?!!! I was right (or, as you would spell it, "write"), you don't own a dictionary.

You're kidding. Your excuse is that you are using the spelling conventions of the 18th century? (And that is putting a very charitable interpretation on your excuse, because it is quite clear that you can't spell any better than an unintelligent middle schooler.)

The term is used unofficially to describe slang.
You born yesterday Mo? and which urban dictionary did you get the term "Um" from, did you mean Ehem or maybe uhm?

Misspelling "break" as "brake" is not slang in any way, shape, or form. It is a simple, basic, grade school mistake. A "brake" is one of those things on your car that you use to make it stop. One doesn't "brake" an arm because it has no brakes.
I wasn't born yesterday. I am close to your age and have had more than 35 years as an atheist to get my belly full of people like you.
As I mentioned in another post, dictionary.com says "um" is a word. In addition, the SEVEN dictionaries used by the online scrabble gaming site pixiepit all say that "um" is a word.
Even the urban dictionary (which isn't really a serious dictionary, you know) says that "um" is a word:
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=um
This sort of intentionally and blatantly dishonest behavior is exactly the reason why I have had a belly full of people like you.

I am in a strictly monogamous marriage. I do not engage in sexual contact with anyone other than my wife. I do not engage in sexual talk or web communications with anyone else. However, I certainly do NOT consider pornography cheating. To the contrary, we have brought porn into our relationship and have found it enhancing.
In short, I agree, porn is awesome. Heck, I might go watch some now!

I don't porn as cheating simply due to the fact that many involve themselves with porn together. Even alone, I for one, really don't see the problem. The partner that is bothered by it, in my view, is insecure not only in the relationship, but with themselves.

Monogamy, fidelity, faithfulness. These are god attributes. You're disappointing Darwin, Dawkins and Hawkins of late.
The three monkeys, See no evil, Speak no evil, and Hear no evil. What evil...huh?
