Do you consider online encounters (cybersex) cheating?

r/

Kink sites such as Fetlife, messengers like Kik and Telegram, reddit DMs where there are pictures being exchanged and the like? Would you consider that cheating if your partner has not actually met up with anybody?

    Yes, I do. I’d leave my partner if she ever had cybersex with someone.

    Yes, online cheating is still cheating.

    No different than if he was hitting up a girl on tinder. It’s cheating.

    anything that was not talked about and consented to/agreed to prior as part of your arrangement and violates your boundaries is okay to consider cheating.

    That behavior isn’t something I want in a partner, so I’d be out. Not going to argue about the semantics of cheating or not – it’s just incompatible with me.

    Absolutely it is.

    Yes. My ex cheated on me by talking to multiple girls on tinder, flirting with them and making plans to meet up.

    So many people in my life didn’t see it as “real cheating” because it wasn’t physical. It definitely is though, and any partner who does this and then tries to say it isn’t cheating is trying to gaslight you!

    If it’s a secret then it’s probs cheating.

    If someone hides something from their partner because they know their partner might leave them over it, they are removing their partner’s ability to give informed consent to being with them. I don’t really care if it’s cheating or not – the deception and lack of care for consent is the issue

    But yes, I also consider cybersex cheating unless it was explicitly agreed that it’s ok
