Is Cyber Sex Cheating?

Virtual reality sex can affect real-life relationships.

LoveFeed gets personal with the story of a British woman who claimed her husband cheated on her in the virtual reality game Second Life. Then she divorced him.

Can you relate?

Screw that. I know this comment will probably get a whole bunch of negetives, but I have to say it. If you are going to "indulge" in those other desires, you seriously lack control and need help. Cybercheating almost hurts more, since your partner is opening up emotionally to someone else than to you. It's alright to think about others every now and then, but don't do the narcissistic thing of flirting and having cybersex online to "indulge in your desires". Jeez...-_-;...

I think a relationship is when you see that person in the flesh and blood. Because it's not a relationship, because you may feel differently when you see that person in real life. Cyber chatting is only for fun ill say

My husband and I are very clear that if you wouldnt do it infront of me, then its trouble. Not just that, if it is ANYTHING sexual then it is cheating. Duh.

If he is hiding it from his woman or it is taking away time from the relationship, then yes. It is up to each individual couple to decide what exactly constitutes cheating. If a wife's sexual needs are being neglected because the husband is too tuned into the phone to notice or take care of his wife, it sounds like cheating.

I don't think there would be a discussion about this if the situation were turned around to favor the woman..........it seems more likely than not, the man is trying to sneek in a little something extra.

If a man is buying another woman expensive jewelry in exchange for some mental stimulation, the answer comes quickly............cheating. If on the other hand he is just whipping out his credit card, it seems to blur the picture in his favor. If you were paid a diamond bracelet instead of cold hard cash, oops most people agree its not allowed in their relationship.

However, at the end of the day it all comes down to what the couple agrees on and that is what important. Are they both agreeing this is ok, or is one of them hiding something from their partner?

I found out my boyfriend was having sex with a lesbian on facebook! He lied about it and said that he was doing nothing, In my head that they had never met did not matter a thing....... It's the thoughts that counts not the fact that he had never met her!

Cyber sex is only cheating if you and your partner have talked about it and said that it is, you have to set certain guidelines in relationships, or things get way blown out. Don't assume for everyone cheating means the same thing, if you are in a relationship discuss these kind of things.

A relationship isn't only about the physical sex, so that isn't the only means of "cheating" on your significant other.

Ahhaha, "Second life people, need to get a first one" That was the best yourtango quote yet! btw, I do think even Cybersex is still cheating because the same intentions are there.. gaining pleasure from somebody other then your spose. Same thing, different package.

Nice video!

so would you consider masturbation a form of cheating as well? u r gaining pleasure from somebody other than your spouse (yourself?)...

I would not only because the person on the other side is not in on the act of cheating WITH you. Then again I don't condone either because if you have a wife or husband you shouldn't be gaining pleasure like that outside of your relationship, even if its from online porn (I think its unhealthy).. that kind of thing should be for your spouse only :). That's my 5 cents lol..

I think it's pretty naive to think that your partner desires you only. It's healthy to accept the fact that you and your partner will desire other people too, rather than just struggling to keep those feelings inside of you. Accepting desire does not mean cheating; keeping it in can eventually blow up into cheating.
