Would it be considered cheating if your partner was cheating on you with an AI bot?

Robopu$$y/deek is still pu$$y/deek. Ofc, s/he is cheating!

No. It is not even real.

I don't know. I am not opinionated enough to come to a decision yet.

Talking today's tech or hypothetical future?

I'm always wanting to put this stuff on some spectrum and take maximal context into account which tends to make people who think more black and white accuse me of being a weasel.

I'm really trying not to be a weasel and I want to define boundaries wherever I can. But in my opinion, even a guy playing video games so much that he neglects his wife is "cheating" on his wedding vows to take care of her in some way, although I'd use it in a much softer way than actually sleeping with another woman which is unambiguously violating the fidelity part of the oath. It's like fudging the rules in a way unintended where we know it's wrong vs. downright breaking the rules where everyone knows it's wrong.

So I'm not sure how "soft" or "extreme" of a violation this is, but I think just neglecting our SOs in general means in any way means we have more to do, and violating trust means we especially have much more work to do.

I mean you're from Japan. you guys took AI dating to a whole different level.🤣🤣🤣

That's a big problem to me! There are actually guys who pay even more for sex doll at a hotel than a living prostitute despite legalized prostitution here. I frown on both but I especially think there's something particularly dysfunctional about a man who prefers to pay even more money to sleep with an inanimate object than a real-life sexy woman. Like there's a concerning detachment from reality.

So I really dislike this aspect of Japanese culture although I don't blame sex dolls. I can't blame an inevitability. There's no point labeling something as broken we can't fix. But I think what is broken is that a lot of Japanese people -- especially men (a minority but not a trivial minority) -- have grown so shy and detached from interacting with other people that they'd rather have sex with an object than a person.

On the weasel part, I'm at least a different kind of weasel. I think the conventional weasel is the type who is trying to look for how everything is not wrong. I'm at least the opposite type who wants to find a wrongness in everything.

So the stereotypical weasel doesn't see it as cheating in the slightest if a husband neglects a woman playing video games or drinking beers with his buddies all the time or anything else. Whereas if I'm a weasel, I'm the type that sees everything that neglects our wives as wrong on some level.

Cheating? Perhaps. Only I wouldn't leave her for cheating, but because of the sheer stupidity of it!

Thank you for MHO @BlissfullyCurSed

No it's not cheating. It means we are not able to satisfy our partners needs, but still in search of their needs get fulfilled without doing anything what is morally not allowed they are taking the help of machines to satisfy themselves. We are not being enough for them. They are not wrong in making efforts to satisfy their requirements.
