Do you consider sexting with someone besides your partner cheating?

The large amount of people that cheated online is very disappointing.

i would consider it emotional cheating, which to me personally is just as bad as physical cheating, if not possibly worse.

IF your in a serious relationship with someone whom you love and care for then you shouldnt do that because your body should be for your partner only. If your sending sexualy explicit pictures of youself and talking sexually with someone other than your partner it means your interested in that person and you may just take it further by having sex with your "sexting" freind which will be full blown cheating. It starts off small but could lead to or turn into something way bigger.

That is definitely cheating to me if the person is in a non-open relationship.

For sure! That's just ridiculous unless both partners are in agreement about it.

I would have to say yes, it is cheating, because it is sharing your body and something that should be intimate with someone other than your partner. If your partner does not consent to your "sexting", it is definitely cheating in my book!

I would never do something without asking him if it was okay first.

Hands down, sexting is cheating. If you're in a committed, monogamous relationship then there are no excuses for that type of behavior. It is hurtful and disgusting. Online chat rooms, etc., are just as bad.

I'd say doing anything sexual/romantic/intima te with someone other than your partner is cheating.

Yes. And I've got experience with this too. My boyfriend is a very sexual person, and the girl he dated before me wasn't. So he got into the habit of talking to people online, sending them pictures, going on Chatroulette etc. Fast forward to me, we have a healthy sex life and all that, and I never thought twice about how he used to do that because I knew it was because she wasn't meeting his needs, and had no doubt that it wasn't a problem for us. Until one day the alarm was going off on his phone and I went to turn it off and up popped this message from a girl saying "How did your date go?" So I scrolled up and saw that he had sent her a picture of himself, and he had said that if he went quiet it was because he was on a date. At that point I didn't even want to read any more. He was in the shower at the time and I FREAKED out and I actually really had him scared that I was going to leave him. I let him stew on it for a day at work, then he came home apologizing and crying and saying that she had messages him from an old dating website account he used to have and was asking for pictures, it was a bad habit that he fell back into and that it wasn't going to happen again and that he deleted all of the places where he met those people from his phone and that he didn't want to lose me. See, he's a bit of an exhibitionist, so he really needs an outlet like that. So I let him make a blog where he can post pictures and such, I just told him he wasn't allowed to talk one on one with anyone. It's a win win situation for both of us now. He has an outlet, I don't feel that it's cheating, and every now and then we spice it up with a naughty pegging picture. All is well!

I think the blog thing is a wonderful idea, and I really like how you addressed this! Props to you.

Why thank you! I think that the reason why it's happening needs to be addressed if this is a problem for a couple. I don't know if my situation is common, but I have a feeling it's not and more likely it's a manifestation of more serious problems in a relationship. But if you just have a man who likes to show off his bootay in Victoria's Secret underwear, by all means, consider a blog! lol!

I had a problem like that once that ruined the relationship. I had a lover who was constantly having cybersex and was addicted to it, and eventually I dropped them over it. So yeah, I can relate. Unfortunately it seems really really common. I'm glad you found a way to resolve your issue.

That would be cheating for us. And it would be a deal-breaker.

This is my answer.

For me personally it would be cheating, but it all comes down to the individual couple.

If the relationship is open or you are conversing with your S/O while doing so, then it's not cheating, otherwise, Yep.

Depends on the kind of relationship. If it's serious, then I would consider sexting cheating, but if it's something looser and more for just having fun, then I'd be fine with it.
