Opinions Divided on Whether the People’s Sex Act Is Cheating: ‘Share with Them Instead’

These days, occasional porn consumption is considered by many to be a normal part of a “healthy” sex life in a relationship. But new data has revealed many Aussies consider it “fraud”.

Research into attitudes towards singles, a thriving platform used by millions of adult content creators, shows 56 per cent of women believe that if a partner has subscribed to a porn star’s channel, it is “definitely cheating”.

However, only 38 percent of men agree, with 48 percent of men saying it depends on the type of interactions involved, compared to 36 percent of women.

Meanwhile, only 9 percent of women, and 15 percent of men, thought it was “normal” for those in a relationship to interact with single stars and view their content.

Ahead of the start of News.com.au’s Great Aussie Debate, we asked 1,870 people a series of questions to get a taste of what Aussies think about a range of topics from the spotlight to the series.

And the statistics reveal a grim picture of the effect single-mindedness and pornography consumption has on modern relationships.

When News.com.au hit the streets, the Daily Aussies echoed the data, showing that men and women were divided on what constitutes single-minded cheating.

One activewear woman said it was cheating, but it depended on what kind of explicit content her partner was watching. Her friend, who was also dressed head-to-toe in figure training gear, saying “how much money” was being spent playing in it too.

“If you’re paying something, interacting, and you have a specific person of interest, that’s definitely cheating,” she said.

Meanwhile two blokes who were asked “Has it agreed on the single phase trick?” Said they didn’t think it was similar to having a relationship.

However, someone still described it as a “dog act” as it crossed a line in a relationship.

“If I was with someone for say five years, I’d be like, ‘What’s going on here?’ “”, Aroi he reasoned.

“That would be a great fight. While with someone new? Goodbye.”

That sentiment was shared by another fella sporting a fedora hat, who wrote, he ain’t got no time for women looking at their shots at naked men online.

“I wouldn’t even meet him in the first place,” he declared.

“I think loners are f—uty. I’d break up with them instead.”

One Irish expat added that he thought it was a “waste of money”, asking: “If you have a partner, why do you only need fa?”

Considering we’re in a lifestyle crisis, it’s a fair question.

The price of subscribing to a single fan account varies, but the most common rate is between $5 and $10 per month.

The creators state that they make most of their income from private messages with fans, which starts at $3 and is capped at $200 per message.

Interestingly, the news.com.au study found that cohabiting couples are less threatened by the X-rated platform than those who live apart, with 55 percent of non-cohabiting couples and married couples saying that it depends on the type of interaction.

Studies show evidence that partners who watch pornography together report higher relationship and sexual satisfaction than partners who do not.

However, porn consumption – commonly used by more men than women – is often a “hidden secret” in relationships, which experts warn negatively affects couples.
