Do you think sexting is cheating

Do you have to keep it a secret from your SO? If so, then it's cheating.

Sexting is beyond dumb. Guys dont know how to sext. You can write up a beautifully composed paragraph about giving head and there just like aw yea baby what's next. Like just fuck off.

Yes I do, and I didn’t until my wife caught me doing it and explained how hurtful it was to her, because I was looking for fulfillment that I couldn’t get from her. I stopped then.

Of course this is cheating, sending sexual messages to someone else (when in a mongamous relationship) is always cheating regardless of whether pictures are exchanged or any sexual acts follow.

Yes, just don’t be in a relationship if you want sexual interactions with more than one person

I can't remember where but I once heard something I really agreed with.

"Cheating isn't just physical contact or even sexting; the moment you find yourself with messages you wouldn't want your partner reading, you are already there."

Yes, it is cheating unless your partner knows about it and doesn't mind. I would be very mad at my boyfriend if he did it and I know he would be mad at me too if I did.

What is Sexting? Who does it involve, and why even ask the question?

To one person its sending any messages or picture (even fully clothed in unromantic settings) and another its not unless its a picture showing a sexual act, and everything in between depending on who you ask.

People cannot even agree on what Sex is. My understanding is that in the range of 10-20 woman a year claim that their child was the result of virgin or sex free birth because they have never had sex.

When researchers delve into what they consider sex (and even what other people consider sex) they find an entire range of activities from simple holding of hands or cuddling (without kissing), kissing, all the way to full penetration sex where both partners orgasm at the same time (and its not sex if they don't orgasm or don't orgasm at the exact same time).

The later extreme definition of sex seem to be the explanation behind the claims of modern virgin or sex free births (in almost all cases they admitted to allowing penetration - but did not consider that - and even known male ejaculation inside of them - as sex). Since they did not have sex in their mind - it must be a sex free birth in their minds; and if they do not believe they have had sex (to their definition) some woman believe they are virgin (no matter how many partners they have had). Note: the definition of Virgin also has a wide range as well...

If you are involved in a relationship with another (or developing one) - then the two of you need to have a discussion about what each of you consider sex, and sexting.

In my case I believe sex starts when you start to provide sexual pleasure beyond simple kissing. My wife feels that sex does not occur until noticeable penis penetration (and inducing orgasms in another is not real sex).

I personally feel that a key principal of sexting is violating the confidence of others (are you doing something that is secret from another who should know about it: Not possible if you are single with no other romantic relationship; unless you have their permission in advance to pursue another relationship as some level). Others would expand it to anyone you contact.

Overall, a great question. Talk to your new friend about what they consider sexting and what you consider sexting (and sex when the time comes). That way you don't make mistakes.

Yes

It depends.

No, but I've never seen a sext. Isn't sexting just typed words?

Which do you want is it normal to sext, is it normal to cheat, or is it cheating.

I've notice the cancel culture on IIN is becoming more a trend instead of saying your point of view or why you disagree with a comment you just swarm, down vote and hide the comments that you don't like. Disagreement used to be what opened up the discussion for real opinions. I up vote a lot but seldom down vote. Everybody's entitled to their own opinion but unless it violates a rule or gets personal in directly calling somebody names or something I don't normally down vote much. Maybe this should be a new question.

Only if you're doing it without your partner's/spouse's permission.

ONLY IF YOU YELL WHILE DOIN IT

Nooooo, where are all the liberal progressives. It wasn't but 20 years ago that a blow job wasn't sex, now it's cheating to use words on a electronic device.
Wow, hard to live in a world that twists and turns that fast.
