Yes.

It is if you've talked with them about it beforehand, or they know you wouldn't approve of it. I had an ex who had cybersex with other guys when I was at work and got mad at/lied to me when I asked her about it. When she finally admitted it, she said "I'm sorry I lied, but I was so lonely." What bullshit.

Hmm, interesting question. I think in a way, yes. Especially if you're being sneaky about it, then you know it's wrong.

How do significant others of SG's feel about their partners on here?

i wouldn't say cheating, but possibly a cause for concern in the relationship. x

I think possibly... I mean, it's kind of a weird scenario but I would be very upset if I found out my boyfriend was doing that.

i say no. if you don't touch - how can that be cheating?

It may be hard to put it under the same definition. I think it is a breach of trust. You are sharing a type of intimacy with someone behind your partner's back, but brave1 has a point - our traditional def is about touching, being face-to-face, being physical instead of (or as well as) mental. The same real life things you do with your partner. When it's only intimate mentally - and likely anonymous - it's not as clear cut. As i say, I think it's still a breach of trust, and lying, even if by omission, is enough for me to avoid it.

YES.

Big fucking yes.

yep

um... if it were my s.o. I would def feel like they had cheated.

Yes. Scumbag business, pure and simple.

i'm gonna say yes but it's not as bad as normal cheating. (i think)
