Seriously is it cheating especially if u have an significant other?
Of course it is. Especially "because" you have a significant other. If you didn't, who would you be cheating on?
That would be a solid YES!
I have to say yes.
On the other hand, is it as bad as actually meeting someone without your other half's knowledge?
Its not as bad as that. So thats why I posed the question.
I think it depends how its used and how would you feel if the significant other was doing it?
If you just use it as foreplay, and help yourself become horny and then go have sex with your SO, and you feel no connection to whoever you are sexting/cybersex-ing with I don't see it as an issue. Also if you are doing that and thinking of your SO as the other person again don't see the issue. However if you doing it because you like other person or getting off to said other person then, I think this is where it crosses the boundary. Also if you have been doing this with said person and then meet up with the IRL without your SO knowing this would also cross the line.
I think there are fine lines to it.
I wouldn't go try to meet another person irl. It was more or less foreplay and once I get horny then I would go have sex with my SO.
I may be dumber than a box of rocks but I'm not stupid enough to gain an emotional bond. That has happened in the past though.
If you were in a room with the person and they were naked and you were naked you would be cheating. Even if you never stick it to her you would be cheating and you know it. The same goes if you send explicit pictures to someone other than your significant other. Its cheating. Now the line in the sand starts to fade if you are texting only words, however, it is still probably cheating.
Thank you taranextdoor. I appreciate the candid response.
No problem. I hope I didn't come across too strong, this seems like a great but occasionally touchy community from the time I have spent lurking before joining.
While it might not be physical cheating (although, if both parties are masturbating, then perhaps it is?)
However, your mind is with the other person, so in my book, it does constitute cheating and you can bet your ass that if you got found out and were going through a divorce, it could be used against you...
I don't do it. Since I am married I would feel guilty. I am okay talking generally about sex, but not cybering.
Truthfully, I never desired to cyber much anyhow.
My wife and I do have fun sexting each other! That gets us good 'n' ready to be all over each other as soon as we actually get together.
Thanks you guys. I really appreciate all the imput and opinions. I guess I am just a horny muthafucka.
I don't think it is any different than thinking of someone else when you masturbate. If that is cheating then we're all guilty.
Generally this is how it I see it.
Pornography - Getting a sexual thrill/pleasure from watching other people having sex, however as it is a solo experience, its acceptable and is not cheating
Cyber Sex - Getting a thrill/pleasure from having sexual interaction with another person outside of your relationship, is not acceptable and is cheating (its no different than texting, videoing, phone sex)
Basically, stick with porn, its not exactly a fantastic and innocent solution, but its the least of all the evils.
Thanks again y'all. Appreciate it.
The question is:
Do you hide this activity from your partner? If its yes, its violating the trust you have with each other and I would consider that cheating.
If, like me, its a no. My partner fully understands I may engage in it from time to time to keep myself "amused".
Its not a replacement for our sex life but an enhancement or a temporary solution for times we're apart.
I don't bring other men to bed, but while the cat is away this mouse is allowed to play. At a distance.
it is a yes. but sometimes it is fun when she is right here with me telling me what to say. ;)
it really is something you need to discuss with your partner, they're the ones whose boundaries you have to respect. ive met some people who dont consider it cheating, but i know that i do, and i expect my (hypothetical) partner to respect my feelings on the matter.
depends on the rules. if your partner knows about it and has given you their blessing. no. if you are lying about it, then yes. it's that simple. i'm not judging, btw, but it's pretty much black and white.
You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.
Thanks. Its like this. If she asks me I'm going to be honest and open with her. I'm not gonna go meet the person wherever they are.
I may not be very bright but I'm not that stupid.
Yes. especially, if the SO have no knowledge about it and you do it because you are not satisfied enough with what do you have between you...however, it is another thing if you do it just to heat up your relationship with your SO (don't you think you must discuss any issues about this with your SO because he or she might help you more than anyone else)...and more so, a lot more different if the SO knows all about it and gives consent to it...
Sometimes, a bitch is just a girl who wears a mask to hide what's real inside her
