    Yes, you’re the asshole.

    Stop jerkin off to people you know by creeping on their social media, it’s mentally unhealthy, it shows your lack of empathy in your relationship, it shows a lack of self control, it shows a lack of respect for the people you creep on, and it’s unethical to do it without those people’s permission.

      Counter question: is it unethical to jerk off to celebrities because it’s unethical to do it without those people’s permission?

      Counterpoint: there’s actually enough people that are completely fine with this, can just see the other comments. Your viewpoint is actually completely valid, but that’s just it, it’s your viewpoint. You consider it behavior of an asshole, but others don’t. Sometimes it’s just necessary to find the people that agree with you instead of changing your true self to please other people, that don’t agree with you.

      I’m coming from a situation where I currently have sexual relationships with 3 women, and everyone knows everything and feels good about the situation. There’s actually remarkable flexibility what people think is “asshole behavior”.

        Being in multiple different sexual relationships with consenting parties is very different from masturbating to social media pics of people in your real life without their consent. Beyond the consent aspect (which certainly is a big one), these people didnt post those pictures with the intent for someone to jack off to.

        Plus I don’t think most (non-religious) people give a shit about someone having sex with multiple partners if everyone’s cool with it. Now, if one or more people in your situation are unaware, then yeah, I’d agree it’s an asshole move. Otherwise, who cares? Fill your boots.

          these people didnt post those pictures with the intent for someone to jack off to.

          An assumption. How do you know? In my view, posting your own pics on social media is at least in some way meant to display yourself in a pleasing manner to other people. I’m sure many people post themselves on social media to be admired. And I’ve seen so many instances of people specifically displaying their cleavage or skimpy outfits or for men going topless etc.

          It’s really not that farfetched that people post pics on social media with at least the awareness that they might possibly or even likely be masturbated to.
