Marriage and porn
Upvote:1
Porn conflicts with Buddhism on several levels. One of the most basic defilements in buddhism (unwholesome roots) is greed. This is a self centered desire for pleasure or possession it also stimulates another unwholesome root in Delusion. Also if we are mindful of the topic of p**n, we see the the p**n industry exploits people for money and has been known to be involved in drugs and sex trafficking...
When you watch p**n in marriage you are deceiving your partner for self gratification..
Porn contradicts the path..

Donating p**n/nude arts, women to men for evil purposes, bulls for cows to breed, alcohol and arranging dances(probably sexually arousing) are considered evil charity which are sinful. So clearly p**n is not something good but sinful whether or not it falls under physically cheating.

Some socially 'Islamic' people (as distinct from Muslim practitioners) get married on a Friday and divorce on the Monday just so they can have sex on the weekend & not break the rules. Obviously, this does not conform with the true spirit of the religion.
Similarly, regardless of whether a person is married, delighting in p**nography is an expression (for men) of the mind's view ('ditthi') about women, human relationships &/or sex.
The scriptures state a wise man looks upon every woman like a mother, sister or daughter. For example, in a traditional marriage, a wife has the primary role of a mother (rather than a sex partner).
A p**nographic lifestyle & outlook is the opposite of compassion & the development of spiritually strengthening & liberating qualities.

Technically, watching p**n doesn't break the 3rd precept, but it weakens it. In other words, it weakens the merits you gain by keeping to the precept apart from accumulating bad karma.
