<< Ah, the good old days of sharing. You young people are such tight asses.

HAHAHA Too bad it's not a welcomed view anymore. But I don't see the problem with it if you have talked it out with your partner. It can actualy be a "interesting" experiance. Just don't do it with friends...

You can tell who grew up as "love children of the '60's"... heh.

WTF is "emotional cheating"?

My personal experiences with 'cheating' and 'being cheated on' have contributed some of the most valuable experience and knowledge I have gained about myself, others, relationships, and love. For me, cheating was a good thing. You have to learn from your own mistakes. How do we know cheating is bad, just because socially we 'agree' that it is? It's a bit like a religion: 'everyone' (say, sharing a common belief) believes in the same things/god/rules/morals/etc; not because they have lived, and experienced all of them, but just because it is their group's socially acceptable standard. How can one say 'gays are bad', and 'psychedelic mushrooms are the devils fruit', without experiencing first-hand a good a$$-fu!k and mushroom trip? (clears throat) Where were we? Oh yeah, cheating. Cheating provided me with a very real experience with which to use as a solid point of reference, one which helps me judge my own behaviours. Ultimately, the conclusion is, agreeing with Amish, 'sexual relationship' is an oxymoron ;)

Yep, I've been cheated on, my junior year of high school... not a pleasant way to end one of my first relationships.

She got hers, though... the guy ended up being abusive, emotionally, physically and socially. We're still friends, but not nearly as close as we could have been had we broken up more amicably. *shrug*

Only by a girlfriend many moons ago. Never by my wife. I've never cheated.......well maybe in my mind.

It seems that there are many varying degrees of perception regarding what constitutes "cheating". I know women who have done everything but have intercourse w/ another man whilst married, but since they can still technically say they haven't "had sex" with another man, they don't carry the burden of guilt. This is of course a play on semantics, Clinton style, but I find there to be an apparant trend with this mentality.

Some say sex constitutes cheating (yes, there are many people in this world who actually enjoy watching their other have sex with another), some say kissing is cheating, some even say the very nature of diverted thought (from your loved one) constitutes cheating.

Would you consider your wife fanatasizing about another man, cheating? Is the threshold of cheating emotional, physical, or both? I'd say men more readily disregard their fantasies as innocent, whilst they would consider the female analog to be more taboo, and less acceptable. A bit of a double standard.

nope to either:D so I am lucky.......

can't see myself cheating on any girl. If it was bad I'd split up with her and be honest even if it hurt her....

<< << sexual relationship >>



That's an oxy-moron if I"ve ever heard one. >>

Okay, so you don't feel the same way. That's fine. But just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

As if you are even qualified to comment virgin boy. Why don't you tell us about your what war is like as well, you've seen that in a movie too.

I'm sorry if this comes off as harsh but you come across like you have life figured out, and let me tell you that you don't have a clue. Life has a funny way of sneaking up and sucker punching you.
