IS IT CHEATING?

I read this article the other day and then today I read a similar thing Re the internet on NW Girls Blog . So opinions, Ladies & Gentelmen what constitutes as cheating and what is harmless fun ?

1. Is looking at porn online (or watching it the old-fashioned way) cheating?
My answer: not cheating but its a bit underhand if its done in secret and hidden away from the other person and if the other person has to look at it all the time then I would say something is wrong in their relationship.

2. Is playing an online sex game (like World of Warcraft, where you don't physically touch someone, but often "play" with the same person) cheating?
My answer: World or Warcraft is a sex game ???

3. Is having phone sex cheating?
My answer: yes without a doubt

4. What about instant message sex?
My answer: yes as above

5. And can you "emotionally cheat"? In other words, is it cheating to repeatedly flirt with someone else?
My answer: yes

6. Is having a sex dream about someone besides your significant other cheating?
My answer: I dont think there are many people who can control a dream is there ?

7. Is making out, but not going all the way cheating?
My answer: yes

8. What about a one-time hook up where you'll never see the person again? Is that cheating?
My answer: yes

9. Is having a threesome (your significant other included) cheating?
My answer: No not if both parties are up for it but it can lead to more perhaps ? would a man who wants a threesome be so willing if it was the lady who wanted two men ?

10. Is hooking up with an ex cheating, since it doesn't technically add to your number?
My answer: yes

11. Is it cheating if you're not married or officially partners in some way?
My answer: yes

12. If your significant other cheated on you and there was no way you'd ever find out, would you still want them to tell you?
My answer: yes


I know someone who has an "online relationship" They say its not cheating because they are not f***ing her ! But they are telling her "I Love You" that is cheating without a doubt in my book. As is the my space whoring that was mentioned in NWG's post.
Now accoring to someone on the Yahoo message boards they say this "lol internet cheating
Nothing can ever replace a real world love. The internet cannot replace the feeling of a kiss or of a touch in real world. You are his #1 and will always be, don't worry."

Who is right ?


Simarly according to Dr Phil looking at porn online is cheating is it ?

If you're looking at Internet pornography, you need to determine if you have a problem. Ask yourself these two questions:

	Would you do it with your partner standing right there?

	Are you turning outside your relationship to meet a need that should be met within the relationship?

Your answers to those questions should give you an idea of whether you have a problem. You should also consider how your behavior affects the people around you. You might say that looking at pornography online is harmless, but it could have a negative emotional effect on the people you love.

Conversely, you may be hurt because your mate is looking at pornography online. You have good reason to be upset! That sort of behavior is disrespectful to the relationship that the two of you created. Talk to your partner. Explain that the pornography has to go—no ifs, ands or buts. Don't accept excuses like "Everybody looks at porn" or "It's just the Internet." That attitude speaks volumes about the health of your relationship. Your partner has to choose what's more important: pornography or the relationship.

So is it ?
