There's still feelings involved no matter what sex they are. So yes it's still classed as cheating in my opinion unless the partner is happy for it to happen!
I've given my girlfriend permission to go play with girls. She's curious, and if she never figures out that curiosity, that could hurt us long-term.
If given permission, I don't think sex with another person counts as cheating, regardless of gender. Some guys don't give consent for their girlfriends to go play with other girls.
totally. he's never expressed interest in guys, expressed NO interest in guys, rather, and i would be so hurt that he'd lie about a facet of his life that was so huge. i'd also be hurt if he didnt think he could share it with me. i share everything with him.
he's made it clear that he's into us having a 3some with another girl, and has said that if i want/need to have a thing with the girl before the 3 of us get together it's okay (i'm the one searching for her, he's too shy) but to make sure to tell him i'm planning on it, or that it may happen, first. and give him all the details. and invite him next time. i think i might still feel a bit like i was cheating. alas, no girl has showed herself worthy enough yet. we'll see.
it's cheating if you havent made it clear in your relationship that it's okay. it's up to your relationship's specified boundaries. cheating is about lying, hiding. if those two things are involved, consider yourself a cheater. or cheated on.
Do you consider it cheating if your spouse is with someone of the same sex?
If you don't have permission then yes, it's absolutely cheating. I've read plenty of posts in other forums where (often girls) will say that it's not cheating, they're getting something they're not getting from their husband/boyfriend, but what if your husband wants to get something he's not getting from you - like a different blowjob technique/willingness to get kinky/just kiss differently? What if a straight woman wants to sleep with a different guy because she wants a bigger cock or wants to try a hairy guy or someone of a different race? It's still something different than you're getting from your relationship.
My thought is this: If you're bisexual then sleeping with the same sex is no different (when it comes to cheating) than sleeping with the opposite sex. You're still doing it for reasons of attraction.
I dont think this has anything to do with whether it's same or opposite sex. If it's behind my back, it's cheating. I don't know why my boyfriend would ever feel the need to go behind my back. If he approaches me about a guy, I'll usually tell him to go for it. Girls are off limits though.
Yes, of course it's cheating. Unless, of course, your partner feels differently for some reason. I think this question presupposes binary gender. I would like to see a more fluid definition of gender take over.
