Would you ever threatened your partner with cheating if they don’t have sex with you?

I’ve heard people say they’ll look elsewhere if their partner doesn’t have sex with them. I think that’s considered as manipulation to get what they want. Yes, sex is important in a relationship but to threaten you’ll cheat, I think that’s taking it too far.

  • Never, I don’t use sex as a tool. Relationships are hard they change in my honest opinion I believe people don’t talk as much as they should before they get involved about what they like what they don’t like it seems kind of scary I know but the more you know about somebody before you get intimately involved the better decision you can make going forward and then even then. Only if they are honest and you were honest, can you make the best decision with what you’ve been told what you hear and what you say using sex is disgusting. In my opinion you’re only hurting yourself as well as the person you’re with.

  • Yes I think you're 100% right I mean it's kind of stupid to take it that far and
    You are right it is a form of manipulation and control and that's bullcrap
    I mean in every relationship this is going to happen to where one of the parties does not want to have sex for whatever reasons and you have to respect that
    But if you don't respect it any use manipulation to get what you want that's that's pretty bad I wouldn't even want to be around that person because it is so childish

    And if you really stop and think about it that would be one of those moments where you would just look at the person and say what did you just say if I don't give you sex you're going to go someplace else and get it
    At that moment I'd almost want to say good luck see ya.

  • That’s a straight up manipulation tactic. If sex is more important to him than our relationship, then the whole thing is doomed anyway. That being said, I’ve always been aware as the woman in the relationship that there are times I need to perform when I’m not necessarily in the mood. I’m willing to compromise and make an effort to keep him happy but threats and ultimatums aren’t loving actions, nor should they be entertained.

    • Wait a minute now. Even if you’re not in the mood, you do have the right to say no. Your partner shouldn’t expect you, or vice versa, to be horny 24/7.

    • Unless you both have a high sex drive, it’s impossible to be horny constantly.

    • Of course I can say no and I do. I’m just saying that I’m aware there is usually a difference in the sex drives of men and women. Men typically want it more often. So I do make an effort to meet him halfway, which means sometimes I’m having sex when I’m not really in the mood. If he asks and it’s been a few days since we last did it, I won’t find that request unreasonable and I’ll take care of him. It doesn’t mean complete servitude. I do expect adult behavior when I turn him down it give him a rain check.

  • Seems like that is very childish and would end the relationship quickly.

  • I’d never do that.


    I agree that that would be taking things too far.


    It’s very manipulative and an instant red flag.


    If I was with someone that did that to me, I would seriously reevaluate the future of the relationship because that’s grounds for exiting a potentially toxic relationship.

  • No. Threatening isn’t going to solve the problem. There’s a problem there, but cheating will only make it worse

  • That is taking it way too far. If they're not engaging in sexual activity with you, a good place to start, is figuring out why that is occurring, not threaten to cheat.

  • No it's not an option gor me and I'm still single.

  • It would be pointless in my relationship. My partner has given me her blessing to seek other sexual partners. I just don't want to. But in a monogamous relationship I would never do this. It's like throwing a tantrum for not getting your way.

  • Absolutely not. If you ever get to the point where you are threatening your partner with something like that, the relationship is already over.

    On the other side of the coin, if someone was crazy enough to say something like that, it's kind of a roll of a 3 sided die where two of sides are "break up immediately" and the last is "go down a prolonged spiral where you and your partner devolve into an increasingly bitter, disrespectful, hostile and corrosive interaction that destroys the self esteem of everyone involved."

  • No i wouldn't

  • I would never be unfaithful because my partner wasn't providing it, nor would I threaten to leave because of it. Some women will use sex a weapon withholding because she is mad or just because she didn't get what she wanted out of him financially. Or because she feels guilty for chatting away with chad all night long so she doesn't want to have sex with you when she is thinking of him. If it's not hormones and she's not sick or something and she's been keeping her guy at arms length, funny about touching and such and hasn't been interested in sex for a month or more I'd get very suspicious and start asking a lot of questions. I recommend guys use some common sense on this so they won't get played. I recommend everyone look into the behaviors of narcissism.

  • No, never.

  • Nope. Cheating is for cowards.

  • LOL no. If my partner and I aren't having sex, we're not going to be partners for very long, not at my age!

  • No... that is the only acceptable answer. If your partner won't have sex with you that means there is a serious issue. I can understand.. sometimes not wanting to.. but if it's a common problem.. you need to address it right away. Cheating only will make it worse

  • No, if they were girls how many did u hear say they'd find a guy 2 hav it with?

  • I would not.

  • Of course not. That is toxic.

  • It depends on how long she's not he having sex. If she's obviously not having sex after so long then I would start to wonder what's going on and ask her about it. I would be concerned why she stopped because I care. Whether I broke up would depend on the answer and how serious she was at trying to fix it. I wouldn't threaten to break up either. If I did break up then I would just do it.

  • No thats now how I want to solve problems.

  • The only answer to this is NO. She is entitled to not be in the mood.

  • I really don't think so

  • This gotta cleave a crazy story
