If it involves cybersex, then yes.

I would say no it's not cheating for any of them. But the first one was phrased in a way for me to say that. I have had many many many sexual conversations with women. It wouldn't fall into the category of cybersex. It would be about conversation. it would be mostly about what they liked to do or hoped to do and the same from me.


conversely, if the interactions become more personal and the fantasies become something that the two people are looking to fulfill with the other online person then that could be deemed crossing the line. If the intimacy levels

None of these would be cheating to me. As someone else stated, if feelings became involved, that would be a whole other story, but for me, I wouldn't consider any of it cheating. If it became something that interrupted my relationship with my partner, especially my sexual relationship, then it would be an issue, but I wouldn't at all call it cheating.

As far as interactive webcams and such, I see it as not much different as a strip bar - just more explicit. Even if my partner had developed a friendship with the cammer, I wouldn't feel threatened unless they started to want to be with them instead of me, or if it started to affect our relationship.

For the games, like WOW, etc, a relationship in a game is not so different from one IRL. As long as things were just friendships and nothing that threatened my relationship, I wouldn't care.
