Is watching porn cheating?

October 1, 2026 · 30 min

Show notes

What would you consider to be cheating today? The physical betrayals, sure, but what about liking other people’s thirst traps? Subscribing to an OnlyFans creator? Sexting with an AI chatbot?

At a time when we can connect with more people in more ways than ever, it’s arguably never been easier to keep secrets, cheat, or even just have a little flirtation. So, if you’re finding it hard to trust in relationships and feeling confused about what even counts as cheating anymore, you’re not alone.

This week, Millie and Clare are digging into the modern definition of infidelity, including a hotly discussed topic on social media: Is it cheating to watch porn?

What do you think? Let us know in comments, reviews, and over on socials @CosmopolitanUK!

Thanks to this week’s experts, relationship counsellor Deborah Krevalin and Anna Hint, a dating expert at PURE.
