"The Brain Is Women's Largest Erogenous"

Is it cheating? Obviously it is.
I've been hearing it all the time - "what's inside is what counts, intimacy is everything, ...", but I'm puzzled that thinking about having sex with a different men/woman is not considered cheating by so many people.
Saying that the idea someone have about some other one is irrelevant to that point, is extremely reducing. Relationship are much more about states of mind than about sticking a penis inside "something" (and I adore all the "somethings").

What I've learned here - you can hate your partner, imagine all sorts of sex with someone else, as long as you don't touch someone else it's all good and it's perfectly healthy... We just need moral standards regarding our body, minds can do no harm.... mmmmm, I've found also that I'm weird smile, I don't want my girl to be just a bag of meat (and I know I'm exaggerating) .

It can be, yes...it depends on your mindset. Do you admit your fantasies or keep them secret from your lover?


I agree with Leigh. If it's being kept secret and leads to actions (even just chatting) your partner doesn't know about then I think it's cheating. Maybe not to the same degree as actually fulfilling fantasies with someone other than your partner, but still a form of cheating (speaking as someone doing that form of cheating).

I like to think of Snape when I am having sex so no it is not cheating because Snape is fictional.

It's only cheating when you act on it without permission from your partner. Whether that be meeting in real life and screwing or even having cyber sex, if you are keeping it from your partner, you're cheating. If it's just a nice healthy fantasy, like dreaming of finding Anne Hathaway naked in your bed and spending a weekend there having various types of sex, that's not even remotely cheating.

Nah, for cheating you need a relation, for fantasising you don't

I would say no, but be careful how you treat the fantasy because it could destroy your relationship

Thanks for all the responses, General consensus seems to be no. I guess that some people might feel the need to hide their fantasies from their partner, but that's an entirely different question I suppose.


I say no. I share my fantasies with my wife. The fantasies we have experienced have been better than the fantasies ever were.
I'm lucky to have her.

Fantasizing isn't cheating, I think everyone fantasies so my opinion it isn't cheating.

If I have a fantasy about great sex with an imaginary (or even real) girl, is that cheating?


I like this thread and would like to share what I've learned so far. Well, I think we're not made to find only one person attractive for our entire life. The hard truth is that it’s almost impossible for a single person to meet all of his or her partner's sexual and emotional needs forever. I think it’s okay if your partner doesn’t share everything with you, and we shouldn’t automatically think of that as a form of cheating. In truth, giving each other some space may be good for both the partners.

No, if anything, fantascies make cheating less necessary. We all know that forbidden fruit often does not taste as good as we imagined!

No. Everyone's imagination is their own, nobody can take that away from them.

Personally, though, for me to 'get off' I have to have an image of my partner in mind. So, no imaginary girlfriends for me as it would not give me any satisfying orgasms lol.

Cheating is anything that makes your partner lose trust in you.

The problem is that you two may not have the same definition of cheating. Also, your loss of trust may be completely internal to you and have nothing to do with your partner or their actions.

I looked at porn and fantasized about intangible fantasy women, but I never displayed even the perception of actually cheating. The one time she thought I was cheating, she lied and came home early to catch me but I was putting together a surprise bday party for her that weekend.

My ex thought that I was cheating because I was violating a commandment to not covet another. (she was very selectively religious). But on the other hand, I thought she was cheating because she was texting a local guy and sending him sexy pics, deleting most of her texts to him and then she initiated a meeting in a darkened parking lot at night. Did they have sex? I guess not but to me that was emotional cheating and they would have physically cheated if circumstances would have allowed them to meet that night.

Everyone's definition is different. A couple, whether monogamous, swingers or poly, needs to define the rules early.
