Is it cheating to fantasize about another man?

Question

MaazHussain · Accepted Answer

Fantasizing about someone else, even if it is sexually, does not necessarily mean that a person is cheating. Thoughts and fantasies are a natural part of human sexuality, and many people have sexual thoughts or fantasies about people other than their partner from time to time. However, it's important to understand that cheating is not just about physical intimacy; emotional intimacy and betrayal are also a significant part of it.

If the person is in a committed relationship and actively pursuing or engaging in sexual or romantic activities with someone other than their partner, then it would be considered cheating. But simply having sexual thoughts or fantasies about someone else does not necessarily equate to cheating. It is a personal matter that depends on the boundaries and agreements set in the relationship. It's important to communicate with your partner about what is acceptable within the relationship and to respect each other's boundaries.

Cheating? Hard to say. Some people would say yes, others would say no.

Here’s the thing tho. If your man was fantasizing about other women, would you be ok with that? I know I wouldn’t be if my girlfriend was fantasizing about other guys. I’d want her to breakup with me if she truly felt that way. It’s not fair to string people along.

I value people in relationships who are loyal, honest, and dedicated. If you’re fantasizing about other guys, you clearly don’t love the person you’re with. So do him the curtesy of breaking up with him. Since it clearly won’t work.

It’s ok to have these thoughts and feelings. It’s NOT ok to string people along when you have these thoughts and feelings.

Nope. Your mind is your own. And theirs is theirs. Imagination is not action.

Guy13 · Answer

Yes giving over to sinful thoughts is both a violation of precepts provided by your Creator, God as well as dishonoring and not controlling urges that would be detrimental to your current partner.

Is fantasising about murder the same as murdering someone? Is fantasising about stealing tons of cash the same as stealing tons of cash? Is fantasising you winning the lottery actually you winning the lottery?

I believe you'll find all the answers to these are no. Unless your going to do it, it's not the same.

Finchie40 · Answer

It can definitely raise some questions of concern as to why they are fantasizing about someone else so yes in a sense it is cheating cuz you are thinking of someone else to get off on , How would you feel if your partner had to fantasize about someone else for them to get off?

According to the Bible it is cheating.  That's because everything starts in the mind. Personally if you were my girl, it would make me question whether I picked the right one because you must not want me. You don't fantasize about something you don't want. It is one thing to notice someone beautiful but it is another thing to fantasize about that person doing stuff to you.

I would say definitely not. All the power to you. We all have attraction to things out of our control. Unless acted upon I don't see any downside or victim.

Mostly no but sepends on frequency and when imagining I guess If 100% of the time you thinking about ex during sex, then maybe. I don't know

Agape93 · Answer

No. It's a thought. You're not talking to them. You're not fucking them. You're not in love. You're having a fantasy, no different than watching porn or reading a naughty novel.

Jesus said it was adultery when a man LOOKED at a (married) woman and lusted. Of course, that's an impossible standard to live up to, and Jesus is dead, by the way.

NewsReader · Answer

No. It's fantasizing. It's imagining. Does fantasizing about getting raped mean that you want to be raped? No.

sheenagwapa · Answer

no... don't be so hard on yourself because men even fuck other women with ease, without feeling guilty whatsoever.. not just fantasize.
