Sexting with someone when you have a committed partner. Yep. For me, yes.
But I know people who thing texting at all, even about coffee with a member of the opposite sex while in a committed relationsip is cheating.

yes any emotional or physical connection recieved or given to someone outside the marriage that was traditionally fulfilled by the husband or wife is cheating. PERIOD

I think it is. Still a betrayal of a trust and a bond between two people.

It seems like any act that betrays someone and undermines the trust in a relationship equates to cheating.

I see it as cheating, absolutely! It may be "mind" sex, but it's still sex, as far as I'm concerned.

Yes it is to me. When you are thinking of someone else in that kind of intimate way, it is taking away from the relationship you have. I tend to agree that if you can go there, you can go further..

Well what about a lap dance from a stripper? Is that cheating?

Maybe i'm a little more lax on what I consider "cheating", but not all sexual things are considered cheating. I think it varies depending on the couple's understanding of what is considered hurtful.

The way I see it, if you have to hide it, then you are being dishonest.
