Is it cheating if it's with the same gender?

Contributor: Supervixen Supervixen
What a weird idea...if you and your partner are not in an open relationship and have okayed physical, intimate, sexual contact between yourself and another person, then of course it's cheating. How the hell does it change anything if you're fucking someone of the same sex?

If you're going behind your partner's back, then yes, it's cheating, regardless of biological sex.

People who say that clearly think nothing of gay people.

Unless it is something agreed upon, it's all cheating.

I agree with this.

Yes, it is in my opinion. Gender doesn't matter.

Well I'm polyamorous so I have a unique situation but I would be really upset if my partner viewed sexual contact with a woman as less valid than that with a man.

It seems like we're almost all agreeing here haha

Anything that goes against what you've agreed upon in the relationship is cheating. If you're going behind your partner's back/keeping them in the dark then it's cheating. Course this is all variable from relationship to relationship. I mean, my guy is completely fine with me dancing with other guys and girls when I go to the bars and he doesn't come with me. I know couples who would break up if their SO did this because they'd think it's cheating.
Relationships are trust, compromise, and agreements about boundaries. If you violate a boundary it doesn't mater what gender you're doing it with (unless your SO honestly believes that's not so and has clarified that with you).

Uh, I don't see what gender has to do with it. If there wasn't an agreement beforehand, it's still all cheating.

Any partner that is human can draw or garner affection and thus, yes, cheating is cheating...no matter with who.

Unless the people in a relationship have agreed beforehand that they are in an open relationship, anything intimate like that is cheating.

It's all cheating if it's in secret

Depends. If your partner consents to allow you to kiss or anything else with another person, then no, it's not, but if they haven't, yes, it is.

it's not cheating if you agree with eachother to have other partners and keep everything open and honest

Normally I would say it's all cheating. Georgeo makes a good point though, if it's a secret then it's cheating. However I've had partners that believed me kissing other women wasn't cheating but for them to kiss another man would be. I think it really depends on the boundaries that have been laid out.

Depends on the agreement you have with your partner but if it was never discussed it is cheating. Gender shouldn't matter. An intimate action with someone other than your partner or with people your partner agrees to is cheating.

its all cheating unless your significant other approves of it.

I think no matter what, a person is a person, regardless of what gender they are. If you do things with another person that isn't your partner, then it's technically cheating. Really, it's up to you and your partner to decide what is or isn't cheating or pushing boundaries.

"Is it cheating" questions are (essentially) always a very clear "yes".

It depends on the perimeters of your relationship, and no two relationships are going to have the exact same "rules"

I've heard "it's not cheating if it's with the same gender and my partner doesn't know about it..." to "it's cheating no matter what"

a person is a person. one of my exes was very bi (lesbian now), and i basically said "If you're with me, i want you to be with me.. if you can go off with some other girl then i'll want to do the same"
