  • we can't say whether that is cheating or not honestly that depends on you and your partner if anyone here tells you it's cheating I would take it with a grain of salt the only one who could truly answer this question is you
    Have you sat down and talked to your partner about your feelings and does your partner know that you are chatting with other people and do they accept it

    I have a pact with my man that I am allowed to be on this website chatting leaving feedback opinions asking questions however we have rules I am not to engage in sexting or sharing pictures such as nudes I am not to accept pictures that would probably be nudes so to be on the safer side I should just say no to all pictures cuz you never know what they're actually sending you I am not to accept video cam feeds at all. I am to never give out my phone number or my direct email.
    What happens on this website is to stay on this website and it should not involve any sort of nudity or sexting and this is my pact that my man has agreed to he does this because I am hypersexual and he knows that I need a therapeutic relief and he knows I don't want to be promiscuous or actually going out and physically cheating this is my method to help me be faithful
    So what it comes down to is how honest you are with your partner and what you and your partner have established that you two are allowed to do

  • The definition of cheating depends on what “relationship agreement” a couple has - some couples don’t allow any flirting and some couples have open relationships that allow physical acts outside of their relationship.

    If your boyfriend considers your role-playing with others as cheating, then you should respect his thoughts about this; or otherwise find another boyfriend who is ok with you doing this.

  • Used to be a room on Yahoo Chat (like 20 years ago) where it was a tavern and everyone RPed as fantasy characters in a bar with rooms on the side for... squeaky... squeaky... i think most people just viewed it as a fantasy, a bit like a book... i guess its complicated... hmm i can see arguments for both sides, i guess the answer is, would you tell your partner? if no then it is

    • I would tell my partner... Maybe because he will be very insecure

    • Wouldn't *

    • I understand, i guess then it comes down to how you feel about it and if you are okay keeping it a secret and are happy to live knowing you are doing that... some times thats the hardest part

  • That would depend on him. I don't think so and I'm glad to explore role playing with you if you'd like, on DM.

  • Of course it is. The task question is are you okay with that.

  • I’d consider this trashy cheating. Your partner might view it differently but you have to talk to him.

  • No. As long as it's just on the internet it's like gaming, reading or watching a movie. It's just fun fantasy.

  • I THINK it depends on A lot of things ,, but if it's not I'm always looking for a role player

  • No of course not, don't be silly

    • Thank God someone said this.

  • I'd love to hear what roleplay scenes you like most!

  • Yes I consider it as cheating. You’re entertaining a conversation with someone who’s not your S/O.

  • anything where you are intimate with another and it's not acceptable in your relationship dynamic is essentially cheating...
    if the roleplay is nothing sexual but as part of some form of online game, or part of an acting project etc... then no... but if it is sexual in any form and he doesn't know or agree with it but you do it anyway then yes its cheating

  • depends on what form the roleplay takes but even if its is sexual fantasy stuff its still technically not cheating as it doesn't involve real sex when its online

    • Thank-you for your opinion sir.

    • no problem... i would add though that its only reasonable for your partner to have some concerns but those can often be cleared up with an honest and open conversation ;)

    • How is exploiting yourself to another not cheating?

  • The only time it would be seen as cheating is if it was somthing you had to hide doing knowing it would hurt him

  • No offense, but this would literally be the most absurd yet hilarious way of cheating to be honest with you, for example if I happened to find out that my partner cheated on me BY roleplaying I would legit think of him as a pathetic desperate individual, hope you don't take this the wrong way but I'm just speaking my mind, but once again, to each their own, who am I to judge

  • I personally would consider this as cheating but your boyfriend may or may not share same opinion as me on this one.

  • Nope

  • It doesn't matter what we (people on this site) think. It matters what you and your boyfriend think. I think it's obvious you don't think it's cheating, so ask him. If you're worried to ask, then you know he'd consider it cheating. So, it's up to you to decide whether you want to do it or not.

    P. S. I don't consider it as cheating.

  • It's disrespectful at the least

  • It depends on what you're getting out of it. I don't see playing games as cheating, but I'm not sure how extensive this role is. Do you have to suck their cock?

  • If it gets sexual and he doesn't know, then yes it's cheating.

  • Not at all verbal imagination and erotic story s are fine especially if your partner won't play you can still explore and if you like it then don't be held back by anyone
