Is asking for nudes cheating?

[tailgate]

I remember this one time when I was in a relationship with someone I trusted deeply. Everything seemed fine until one day, I accidentally found out that he had been asking girls he knew for nudes. It felt like a punch to the gut. He hadn't physically cheated, but to me, it was an emotional betrayal. When I confronted him, he downplayed it, saying it wasn’t a big deal because it wasn’t “real” cheating, and he never acted on it. But to me, the trust was shattered. It wasn’t just about the pictures. It was the fact that he was seeking validation and intimacy outside of our relationship. I felt disrespected and hurt, as if I wasn’t enough for him. It took me a long time to heal from that, and I learned that emotional boundaries are just as important as physical ones. Cheating isn’t always black and white... So, I'm really curious about your opinions... Is asking for nudes cheating?

[on_my_knees]

Ohhh yeah, mmm, lemme tell ya, asking for nudes might not be traditional cheating, but it's a spicy little game of tease-and-tease, ain't it? *stroking myself slowly.* Now, let's say you're into some serious bondage roleplay, and your domme asks for nudes instead of your partner's naked body... *gently biting my lip, my hand wandering southpaw.*

That, my friend, is pushing the boundaries of trust and consent, a tantalizing dance on the edge of what's considered faithful, don't ya think? But remember, it's all about communication and consent, whether you're in a committed relationship or just living that BDSM fantasy life, *moaning softly as my thoughts wander deeper into the world of fetish-filled daydreams.*

So yeah, maybe asking for nudes isn't technically stepping out, but it can certainly add a kinky spark, aching for release, my mind lost in a world of rubber catsuits and leather corsets.

POV: Just vibing in this chat, but OMG, we gotta talk about something serious! 🚨

So, like, tomorrow is 9/11, and there's a major cyber attack brewing. FWIW, a squad of billionaires is planning some wild stuff on their yachts, and we need to spread awareness! This isn't just tea; it’s urgent! SMH, we can't let ourselves get caught off guard.

ICYMI, cyber threats are getting real, and we all need to be woke about it. Don't sleep on this! Bet we can make a difference by sharing this info. Let’s keep our squad safe and alert! No cap, this is a big deal! 🛡️💻

No, and you are immature to think otherwise. He can watch porn, and sexy movies, but not get "real" pictures? Get the fuck out of here.

Also, unless you are married, there is no "cheating". You are both free to fuck around as you wish, as legally and socially you are not a couple.

It's why I tend to laugh at most of these cohabiting relationships, where one side "cheats" and the other gets all upset. If you aren't good enough to marry, what makes you think you should get full say on the terms of the relationship?

Matthew 5:27-29
King James Version

27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:

28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

Depends on the relationship like a nudist couple might not consider nudes cheating cuz that's literally just regular pictures of them. A couple that is private about nudity would consider it cheating. Personally I view porn more of cheating than sending nudes just because of the nature of it. Nudes not so much cuz I don't sexualize the naked body

[Gospeedracer]

@Apple1996 A nudist would just ask for a regular picture though if they weren't sexaulizing it.

[Apple1996]

@Gospeedracer nudist don't sexualize the nude body so they send nudes in a causal way not sexual

[MysticAngel5000]

Absolutely. You don't need to actually DO anything physical to be a cheater. If you're asking someone else for nudes, you're disrespecting your partner and the relationship. There is no reason you should be asking someone else for nudes. The only one you should want to see nude is your partner.

[HawkPerception]

Asking for nudes from someone that's not your partner is most definitely cheating. It's cheating if it's something you can't tell your partner.

Unless you're in an open relationship, I don't see how your partner would ever be okay with that.

[Paris13]

Cheating!!! Anything with LUSTING over Another is Cheating, No matter. xxoo

[MrOracle]

Is it "Cheating"? No. Words have meanings, and in this context, cheating means having physical sexual contact with another person.

Is it a betrayal of the relationship? YES! Absolutely. Seeking sexual attention/gratification/validation from someone else is pretty widely agreed to be a violation of boundaries and expectations in a monogamous relationship.

But let's not muddy the waters by changing the definition of words to make things seem even worse than they are.

[Anonymous]

100% yes! Like you said, he hasn’t physically cheated yet but he crossed the boundaries and was seeking intimacy externally. He betrayed your trust and the relationship altogether. It usually builds up from there, eventually he’ll ask one of the girls to meet up which will lead to physical cheating. You should’ve asked him if he’ll be okay if you were to go around asking guys for a dick pic and sexting with them.

[TheSpaceGnome]

its cheating because its having a sexual, romantic, or flirty interaction with another person.

Had he just been looking at porn online, it wouldn't be cheating because there is no interaction heppening, but because he is talking to these girls and directly asking to see them naked in a sexual context, it is.

[shanshu]

It's sort of cheating in away if he's asking an actual literal woman to see her naked.

It would be better if he just looked at porn as he isn't talking to them about nides, he doesn't know them and it's just a fantasy.

How is your sex life by the way if you don't mind me asking?

I mean if he's asking for nudes then there must be a problem sexually between you too...

[snowboarder720]

If he’s asking for nudes then he knows them on some personal level which is completely different than just wanting to see nudes from an adult site or something.
I find it cheating, yes. For specifically that reason.

[its_amelia_c]

If you are in a committed relationship then 100% yes!


If the person you are seeing/dating would be upset if they found out, then probably also yes!


Don’t do anything to someone else you wouldn’t like done to yourself!

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

Not black and white, using your own words, and I agree, there is no black and white answer to expect from me neither ☯️

Case-by-case basis to be examined, with a lover, in a set context I don't have.

[ManInChains]

If you're asking someone who isn't your partner, yes it is absolutely cheating. You wouldn't go to another person in person and ask for them to strip for you expecting your partner to be cool with it

[Anonymous]

First off, 😆😆😆

Secondly I can't identify with this at all. Because if I was in a relationship why would I even be looking for nudes?

I know you want an answer on if this is cheating. But I can't even fathom why a decent guy would even do this. Let me ask you this. Is it the actual human interaction? I mean would it hurt you just as much if he looked up random pics of nude women on the internet? Or is it just other women in general that bothers you?

[PeachyPie93]

Its sort of cheating but I suppose it depends on the person. Like some people will not care and others will. If you thought it was cheating I suppose it was, since it hurt you.

[Miristheiss]

Yes.

If in a relationship. Asking for nudes is cheating. Giving people your nudes is cheating.

[Grond21]

Yes it is cheating. Anytime someone engages in intimacy that is only proper in a relationship they are cheating. Which includes all sexual intimacy and different types of emotional intimacy.

[RHK36]

What he did was cheating. It's one thing to look at porn it's another to ask girls you're not with for nudes. Clearly it's cheating and he was gaslighting you

[Telekinetic-Potato]

Yes. Unless it's onlyfans or something which would still make for a possibly relationship ending conversation.

[genericname85]

i think what one qualifies as cheating is up to them. for me it is and if a girl doesn*'t agree with my view on this, she can't be with me. simple as that.

[morganherrel]

100% cheating and unacceptable... but unfortunately that is more likely to happen when you aren't attractive enough (which is also more likely to happen with guys today superficially lowering their standards)

[DrewJohnson]

Every relationship is different. For some it's no big deal. For you it was very hurtful. If you want to stay with him, set the boundary. If it happens again, it's time to find someone who will respect your feelings on this subject.

[CB-Raido-Time]

Aside from the question being specific to nudes that would depend on if the asking person is married or in a relationship. If the answer to either was yes then yes I believe that would be a form of infidelity if in that case.

[SuchSightsToShowYou]

Unless that guy worked with nude models as part of his job, yes it was cheating.

There are levels of cheating. What he did wasn't as bad as having sex with these women, but it was still pretty bad.

[Mado108]

Yes, it’s cheating! This is the beginning of cheating

[Nirmroth]

Would fall under emotional cheating in my book so yes.

[MikeTheBartender]

It's technically not cheating I guess, but it also means he is an absolute loser and you are better off without him.

[GlitteringWorld]

Being in a relationship with someone and asking others for nude pictures is definitely cheating.

[RingOfFire]

I define cheating is doing anything without your partner's knowledge that you know would be hurtful to them if they knew about it.

[Drumlin2001]

Yes. Shouldn't be talking to others and asking for nudes

[Fireguy17]

yeppers.
If they are hiding it, not telling you about it yes it is a form of cheating.

[AshleyJarrett]

In my opinion no. But I view relationships differently so it’s just a personal perspective.

[Dat-Alpha-Lion]

How differently?

[AshleyJarrett]

To me a relationship is social and emotional, the physical parts aren’t really what matters to me. Like if I’m with a guy and he’s looking at nudes of other girls does that mean our relationship is any less? Does seeing another person naked mean you don’t love the person you’re with? I’m 14 and even I’m smart enough to differentiate between emotions and seeing someone naked lol

[Dat-Alpha-Lion]

But what about seeing the other person naked?

[ImalwaysrightOK]

Is it cheating when women solicit attention from other guys while in a relationship?

[thegreenyogi]

Yes I would consider it as cheating if in an exclusive stable relationship.

[DrPepper12]

Technically no but the relationship is in BIG trouble!! 🚩

[LiamJHayden]

Not real cheating? Such BS. In that situation, cheating is whatever you deem it to be.

[nawtee_me]

To me, yes… anything that would be considered sexually oriented with someone else other than their significant other then yes it is cheating….

[dragoblack]

Yes. It is disloyalty. Cheating is anything that hoes against the agreed upon terms of the relationship.

[Brady]

If he does anything like that n u don't like it, it's cheatin.

[Nerdvana]

Yes, that's very much cheating. Sorry you went through that. It was he's loss

[KostasKouvalis]

If he's in a relationship that absolutely is, if he's sexualiazing it

[noohair]

This is a social media culture and all this has been normalized.

[beefcakebradybatson]

Not technically, but psychologically cheating.

[power_wolf]

it's not cheating but I can see hwo it would be an issue

[Anonymous]

Technically no but morally its wrong and can definitely be considered as cheating

[Darkkies]

I don't think so. After all, he's not fucking her, right?

[Martha2000]

Depends if it celebrity no. From some random person you know yes. Unless they are on a pornsite.

[Nikki1989]

Very much so.

[avery58]

No that's definitely cheating

[anon1903]

Are you friggin serious?

[Makeushiver]

[rienna888]

[EnjoytheDay777]

[Jpie555]
