    I guess that all depends on who is doing the "considering."

    If my girlfriend was doing it, I would call it cheating. If I heard of someone else doing it, I probably wouldn't.

    You just have to look at your boyfriend/girlfriend and decide how they would see it. You would definietly be safe assuming that they would consider it cheating, and just not do it, and I would bet that you wouldn't be too happy if you found out they were doing it too.

    I will say that phone sex or cybe sex WITH SOMEONE YOU KNOW is definitely more serious than with someone else, and you're a lot more likely to get caught.

    In the end, it's up to you, but my opinion is that you already know the answer for your situation.

    Edited answer: If you want specific figures, please ask for them before giving a negative rating.

    From a study found on Yahoo -
    18% of men interviewed have had cyber-sex or phone sex with someone other than their spouse
    3% of those men confessed or were discovered by their spouse
    2.3% of those are still married

    I couldn't find any studies about women. The problem with getting statistics on this is that you have to take into account WHO they were "interacting" with and IF they were ever discovered.

    Only if you are not being honest and open with your partner about it. You are also cheating yourself -- wasting time cyber-cheating, when you could either be fixing up the relationship you are in, or doing the hard work of getting out of it, and preparing yourself for a more successful relationship.

    If it would make someone in your life sad and/or angry, then yes, it is cheating.

    Well, given that it's so completely impersonal, indirect, and inexplicit - hardly...

    Of course, in many ways it 'is' cheating, given that it 'is' a form of sexual behaviour with someone other than your partner... But I think it is stretching the words to their limit.

    If your partner isn't ok with it, then it's an abuse of trust or a deliberate betrayal - but I wouldn't say it's cheating (unless you took it to the next level with the online person and actually met them, etc).

    If s/he isn't ok with it, then yes.

    A lot of people have open relationships where both partners are free to physically sleep with anyone, in such cases it probably wouldn't be classed as cheating. However if it's an issue for your partner, and your relationship isn't open, then yep, I'd say it counts as cheating.

    Yes. Unless you make it open to your partner and say "Ohh yeah. By the way I am talking this way to this person and this way to someone else" Thats not wrong if they know and don't care. It's wrong if you keep it a secret.

    No uness you know the person in real life. Its like thinking of someone else while having sex with your lover. But then again if he/she finds out they will probrably intrepret it as cheating.
    Real boderline... would you want your significant other having cyber sex with someone else?

    I would have to say yes. My boyfriend did that and he got all he wanted from me, and all of a sudden it stopped. He was too hooked up in dating services and cyber and phone sex to give me any, and if i did he'd ask me if i wanted to "call" someone or whatever. I would def say it is cheating because it would ruin a relationship just like as if you physically were. It is emotionally traumatizing.

    In my Opinion I have to agree if you hide it from your Significant other its cheating without a doubt. my reasoning is if you feel have to hide it then you are doing something wrong
