Degrees of cheating?

If full sex with someone is 10/10 cheating, where do you rate the following on a scale from 1-10? 1. Getting off to porn. 2. Getting off to picture/memory of someone you know. 3. Harmless flirting. 4. Getting off with a stranger online eg Skype.

There seems to be a big rating difference between 1 and 4 when the only real difference is that during 4 the other person can see you.

  • 1. if my girlfriend watched porn alone it would be a rate 4 and a 0 if thogether.
    2. Meh i´d say that a picture of someone isn´t going to be problematic- (1rating) unless she has pics of a naked guy who turned out to be her ex witch would make it a 7,5 rating in other words problematic.
    3. Harmless flirting i´d rate a 4 becuse i sure that i can trust my girlfriend to not take it even further.
    4. Masturbating with a stranger on Skype would be like having my girlfriend telling me that she isn´t interrested in me and in that case i would break up asap unless she stoped doing that. Rate 10 on my scale.

  • This seems more like the sort of question some stupid insecure girl would ask. I love how incredibly subjective number three is, and you're asking us to rate it based on our definition of 'harmless' as opposed to our SO's.

    Number four is the only thing that even approaches cheating.

  • I wouldn't necessarily think that any of them are cheating. It doesn't mean that I wouldn't be unhappy if i found out my SO was doing any of those things. Especially 3&4 because it kinda goes against my trust and isn't being completely faithful if we're in an exclusive relationship. 3 would just make me upset because if you rather get off on someone I know instead of me then you might as well stop wasting my time and be with them. Porn is the least upsetting because it's kinda just a fact of life and the stuff in porn is more unrealistic than 2 is.

  • I think it is true what you had said there in your update, about the difference between porn and stranger online. How come you are wanting to look at others naked? hmm. Err. when you have a somebody yah.

    ummmm... 1 and 2 may hurt your partner very badly. and 3 is depending on the intentions and the degree for it to be considered "cheating", and 4 is cheating to me because you are interacting with them, and they are aware of you.

    • Yeah that's a really good point about 1 and 4 lol. I guess that's why I personally would be upset over either. But I guess 4 is a little worse because you can get to know a stranger, versus getting to know a porn star lol

  • I suck at numbers but..
    1. That's not cheating AT ALL
    2. I'd be kinda mad
    3. I'd be a bit upset
    4. Breeeeaaaak uuuuuuupppp

    • Thanks for the MHO!

    2- 3 ( tho I wouldn't consider it as cheating , I think it would be being disrespectful to me , or still stuck in the memory of the other person in the pic )

    3- 8 ( its still flirting even if its "harmless" it always harms ur SO if u flirt with someone else that isn't him/her so it is harmful for their feelings I guess )

    4- 10 ( that's definitely cheating!!! )

  • 1. 0 Would be no different than a woman ogling over a sex scene in a movie with a really hot actor

    2. I'd say a 6, its a bit overstepping the boundaries since you are with someone else. If i knew a guy did that I would think he would rather have her than me.

    3. A 5, shouldn't be flirting with other girls

    4. 8 Cybersex

  • I will break it for you: there is no such thing as degrees of cheating. PERIOD

    • Good point so for people who live in a black and white world they can just answer cheating or not cheating to each.

    • Lol there are many things in this life in which apply a grey vision to. Cheating is not one of them. Betraying the person who trusts u the most is Black and white in fact. No such thing as in between.

    • U can choose to rgive this person for one reason or another, still it will never not be cheating.

    I really don't consider 1 to 3 acts of cheating but 2 and 3 are acts of disrespect to your SO. Number 4 is definitely a form of cheating however.

  • A lot of people may disagree with me but, I've been cheated on with a long term boyfriend and it's the worst feeling ever. I guess you can call me super "closed off" in what I consider cheating because of that but idc, better safe than sorry.

    1. You're basically busting a nut over someone who isn't your partner. And you're basically purposely getting more aroused watching someone else. I know all guys do it, but I would still be upset and I wouldn't want to know about it.
    2. Looool like... wtf. Get out.
    3. You can only flirt with someone you are attracted to. But if you're in a relationship why tf are you looking for someone else? Lmao bye.
    4. I think steps 1-3 can lead to that, so yeah, this is a no brainer. Fuck noooo.

    I might seem extreme but, it is what it is to me.

    • I do agree with you. I really do not understand the porn part, as to why they would want to masturbate over another girl (s).

    • Thanks for understanding my view point! :)

  • 1. 1, not cheating
    2 & 3. Like 7-8 at least, not full on cheating but still highly disrespectful
