Women tend to find emotional cheating far more significant than physical cheating, and for men vice versa. To me (a male), the idea that we need to siphon our thoughts into one person at all times is unrealistic and ridiculous. In fact, it may lead to problems if anyone expects this from their partner. Being in a relationship does not and can not negate attraction you might have to other people, it's just sort of a contract that you won't DO something with them.
So I guess what divides people is what "doing something" means (emotionally vs. physically), but either way, masturbation isn't comparable to flirting with someone or hooking up with them, because it doesn't actually involve "them".
