Is it okay to check out another woman when you're in a committed relationship?

You can look, but dont touch. I mean looking is natural, you're never going to shake that habit. It is not like you are going to end up in bed with them... well I should hope not. I hope you would stay faithful to YOUR girl.

However it is ok to appreciate someone ELSE'S physical beauty. Just dont go and flirt with them or something.

How could I not notice an attractive woman, but I don't stare or gawk at them like I've never seen a woman before.

If I'm out with my wife, we'll even point them out to each other.
We are very secure in our relationship.

Personally, I don't see why it's a problem for either sex to check out the scenery, just as long as they aren't acting on it.

For me and my relationships, I find such behavior unacceptable. If you are with me, there is no reason to look at others. And the same goes the other way, if I am with you, there's no reason for me to look at others. It's just unnecessary, and I feel that if I am with a person and feel the need to do such things, then I am not committed to them to begin with and should probably not be with them.

We both look. She doesn't mind, and she thinks it would be wierd if I wasn't checking out the women I see. But, as seems to be the consensus here, just don't act on it.

My gf and I are VERY committed but given a situation that we see someone that has such a ridiculus body it cant go un-noticed... we mention it or give it a "goddamn!" I think the situation would be different if it was a friend or someone we speak to. But if it is a complete stranger and they are going to stay that way... giving them a look is just fine

In mature relationships or even just with mature individuals this should be totally ok. We are not inherently monogamous creatures and it's only natural to check other people out.
