Is cybersex cheating?

Re: Is cybersex cheating?

If the partner is fine with it then no. If not then yes, it's cheating.
If the partner don't know, better say it or stop it before drama happens.
If the partner don't care, run away really fast.

Re: Is cybersex cheating?

It's questions like these which emphasize the importance of communication in relationships. If you are in a relationship with someone, it is important to be in constant communication with each other and to come to agreements and compromises. With that being said, one should talk to their partner with what constitutes "cheating."

It may be awkward, but if you are in a serious relationship with someone, you would love them enough to muster up the courage to bring up the topic to maintain a healthy relationship.

Anyways, couples should talk to each other and make sure they are both in understanding of each other and so that both sides feel that it is fair. Having one person in the relationship being overly controlling and having their partner not even associate with particular genders would be an issue. On the flip side, having someone in the relationship being a pimp and not giving a **** would also pose an issue. So communication is essential to make sure neither of extremes occur.

With communication, both people in the relationship can discuss what IS and what IS not cheating. Not for other people, but for themselves. Is kissing someone on the cheek cheating? I don't know, discuss it with your partner. Is sexting with someone else cheating? I don't know discuss it with your partner. Is cam-to-cam cybersex cheating? Perhaps your partner would be able to compromise to allow it as long as it's a different person every time (to assure that you aren't really in another relationship.)

So what is cheating? Cheating is what you and your partner agreed to. What if you guys haven't had that discussion? Then cheating is what your partner thinks cheating is and you ain't gonna know what that is until you get yourself screwed.

If you have reasoning for why you want to continue doing certain things (like sexting) for example, then come up with a valid argument for your partner. We all understand that we have sexual "needs" to fulfill and some people fulfill them differently than others. The only this is an issue is because our society (and many others) puts an extremely strong link between sexual acts and loving relationships. But if both you and your partner discuss this topic with open minds and understanding, perhaps you can reach an agreement, a compromise, or perhaps your partner might have a suggestion that makes you both happy

I'm going say this one more time for emphasis: communication.

Re: Is cybersex cheating?

Just for the people who said no, how many of you can say you're comfortable with your partner showing their stuff over a webcam to strangers?

Re: Is cybersex cheating?

I wouldn't be at all. But it's not cheating.

Re: Is cybersex cheating?

Okay we'll say your girlfriend isn't public domain, and has been having explicit webcam sessions
with another guy (who she's acquired feelings for) over the net, on not just one occasion, but several.
She does it more frequently than she does you. Cheating yet?

Re: Is cybersex cheating?

Problem is defining "cheating" and "cybersex" and in both cases, it's dependant of what each person in the relationship thinks which leads to communication/commitment which leads to what's already been said. As not everyone has the same moral values, there's no reason to try arguing over "how we would feel". The only logical conclusion is to figure out what is ethically correct. There's probably some places in the world where it's completely fine and others where it's totally wrong.

Oh, apparently it's not-so-legal in multiple scenarios for multiple reasons that has nothing to do with the OP. Better avoid it for your well-being.

I guess cybersex can be compared as a white man saying the n word.

Re: Is cybersex cheating?

That's where the problem lies. Not in the cybersex itself.

I wouldn't be bothered by some random people getting aroused to my hypothetical girlfriend that doesn't have feeling for them.

Re: Is cybersex cheating?

Are you people serious

Like really

If you're causing emotional distress in any way similar to cheating in real life then I'm sorry, it's pretty much grounds for being accused of just cheating on someone in general regardless of whether it's physical or not. Like I'm 100% confused as to why this is even something to talk about. If anyone you ever date is ok with you cybering in any form then there's something just as wrong with him/her than there is with you, and if you absolutely just have to do it with someone else then you obviously aren't committed enough to be in a relationship and you need to spend the rest of your life fucking hookers in a Motel 6.

Why is this even a discussion

Yes it's cheating but I'm not sure cheating is wrong.

Re: Is cybersex cheating?

Betraying someone's trust isn't wrong? Best of luck with that.
