Web Cam Sex/Cyber Sex.... Cheating or Not?

Web Cam Sex/Cyber Sex? Shoud it be considered cheating or not?

The internet has become a way of connecting with people that one normally would not have the opportunity to. With that, the internet has also opened doors to other activities such a web cam sex and cyber sex. I have chatted with a number of people that have strong views about web cam sex. Some strongly agree that if you're married or in a relationship, it is cheating; no question about it. On the other hand, some feel that it definetly is not cheating; how could it be?

What's your opinion:

If you were to get involved in a steamy relationship with someone online, and if it STAYED online ONLY, would you consider that "cheating" on your significant other?

Could a cyber-sexual relationship with 'someone else' even be 'good' for your relationship with your significant other?

 

biiiig question & its entirely dependent on you..and your significiant other..as well as the online person(s) ive known it to be good in caeses, & harmful in others, i think the biggest factor is, if your open & honnesst about it, or..if youre just confortable enough with eachother to know its goin on without havin to discuss it

i think it can add a dimension & stuff even in some cases & with some who are real addicts it could give them an alternate outlet from random afairs
or it could become consumming & unhealthy

its all a matter of the individuals involved

 

It depends on the couple and how they feel about it, every couple is different.

Personally I wouldnt be comfortable with it. I would consider it cheating.
and no it wouldnt help the relationship - it would ruin it.

 

cheating.........to decieve ....be dishonest........gain benifit at the expense of others.............if your other knows and is ok with it...no......if your doing it and hiding it then yes its cheating

 

its cheating if your actively involved in it. i.e getting your knob out

however

if your just watching then its just like watching porno really isnt it?

 

Well, I just dumped my boyfriend because he's addicted to porn and wouldn't stop lying to me about it.

I think it's pretty shady to be cranking it to bitches, especially on the other end of a camera, when you're in a relationship.

 

well i know that both me and my ex had cyber sex... almost daily. was kinda a turn on looking over and seeing her get worked up... i would always tease her more by feeling her up as she would never finger herself infront of me

 

Its cheating.

 

somethign to talk about. most would assume its cheaing wtihout particular permission. dependign on the couple, permission to do that migth be given... but without talking abou tit first ya its cheating and a damn foul thing to do

 

It's not cheating, it's text on a computer screen, comparable to a porno. If you masterbate while doing it, that doesn't make it cheating unless you consider masturbating to porno cheating as well maybe? Cyber sex is just getting off in the privacy of your own home with the help of some stranger youy don't give a rat's ass about who lives half way across the country and will never meet you in order to create the possibility of cheating. It's a great relief when your other half holds out on you without having an affair.

And if you involve a web cam, and you don't show your face, what's the risk or big deal?

 

If some pervert was determined enough to track you down, he would be able to regardless if you show your face or not.

 

I wouldn't do it if I were in a commited relationship.

My relationship now isn't so commited, so i don't know if I'd consider that cheating.

 

I'm inclined to disagree. The two people are sexually engaged, which is something that could arouse the jealousy of one or more of their partners. It's still an act involving sexual energy, even though the physical bodies don't meet and touch.
