This is an opion, I feel if a person follows threw with any of the flirting, Then it's cheating. But if it is mear conversation then it's only a stimulant to the relationship your in. I don't so much agree with the nude photo exchange, I think that is a little to far to go.Steve said:Can you please explain the "oh so subtle differences" to us?
Say it aint so. People actually hook up IRL after cyber antics?justhangn said:Cybering is mental cheating to me and just a precursor to something else.
I had this whole long answer, posted it and realized that the hubby was logged into my computer.Chasey_Lane said:Do you define cheating as the "act" of sexual relations, or can flirting, online cyber, swapping nude pics, etc., be considered cheating as well?
So, hypothetically speaking, if one were to say... stick a hand under the butt of another as he/she was about to sit down on a bus or something... that would be crossing the line...:shrug:Dymphna said:As far as online "relations" goes, if there is no physical contact, it isn't technically cheating.

Steve said:The men are nearly split in their opinions of whether to tell or not. The women overwhelmingly choose "to tell" rather than keep it a secret. Why do you think that is?
Is it the sense of guilt and how men and women handle it differently? Do men think of it as nothing more than a screw? Or are women more honest simply because their cheating means that they are really done with the relationship and want to find a way to end it? :shrug:

I have noticed, that when women cheat they tell there significant other.
As a vendictive,knife threw the heart, we are done! Kill shot!

I think flirting is just psychological exercising of the labido. Anything past that, swapping nekkid pics, cyber/phone sex, clandestined groping would be crossing the line. That is why I openly grope. :shrug:Steve said:[COLOR=]
Any other opinions? There is an abject silence about this topic...

People put different emphasis on different things. Prudes can get upset over a lingering look while people with alternate lifestyles or open marriages aren't bothered by much more. It is more of an individual thing. I would think that if it is clandestined, or needed to be hidden because it was beyond the bounds their partner would consider appropriate it is cheating. Cheating is subjective.

I define "cheating" by what I'd get pissed about. Larry flirts all the time - he can be charming when he wants to and I like that. If he were having cyber with someone or exchanging nudie pics, I'd be pissed. If he embarrassed me in public by showing some woman excessive attention, I'd be pissed.Steve said:Like Chasey's "other things" post, is that cheating?
A woman should NEVER have to compete for her man's attention.......well unless of course there is a good game on, but never with another woman....vraiblonde said:Other women would find it exciting that they had to compete for their man's attention. I'm not one of those women.
