Matthew 5:28
"But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart."
Well, you're not looking at her are you, so ..... is it?

Who are you cheating on?
Your other hand?

Yep! Apparently, you have a little too much time on your hands.
If you are doing anything that you would not do with your wife sitting right THERE, you are cheating.
A relationship can be wonderful, fulfilling, genuine, and life-enhancing for both people, IF both of you are on the same page. You have to work to stay on the same page.
Communication, unselfishness, and discipline are good for everyone, but without them, a close relationship is not possible.
Quit fooling around, and spend the energy you are spending messing around, on your wife.
Rub her feet-for no reason, send her little notes by e-mail, send her flowers at work, take her to get a pedicure and sit there and visit while you wait. Women melt-or are suspicious- under such treatment. Give her NO reason for suspicion and it will go away.
She will TURN INTO the woman of your dreams. I promise.
If you don't want to be bothered to do that, then cut her loose and let her find someone who will cherish her. She will hate you for a while and then thank you later.

It is committing adultery! Never mind Matthew! 5:28! You simply can't pick a quote because it suits you! Read the 10 commandments .., thou shalt not covet etc ... It doesn't matter if you don't see her! What matters is that you have sexual thoughts and fantasies about someone else so that, and even not cheating body to body ... You still cheat in your mind and that is wrong! I am not a born again christian, only a disenchanted Catholic (Not happy with the Pope's bombshell) hence, and in the eyes of many born again people ... Condemned to hell (Because i'm not born again) if i wouldn't do that because my heart and mind tell me that it is a sin! And as it so happens ... So does my soul!

It's really in the intentions isn't it? It's more about the dishonesty to the wife. If you believed it to be OK then you wouldn't have to hide it. I believe people should make their own choices about what they want in life but that they should be honest about it. In your example it seems that cybersex is OK as long as no one turns the camera on. lol. I wonder if the wife is having the same amount of fun?

The difference between Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton. Jimmy committed adultery in his heart. Billy used another organ.
Looking isn't the operative word here. Lust is.

Sex is not just a physical act. It is a spiritual act as well. We
are helping our Creator to create life.
I heard that the spiritual energy created during masturbation gets confused, and this creates negative spiritual energy. I once
tried an experiment. And after a moment of weakess. Tried to
draw the energy back into me.
I felt a tingling in my groin just like I felt on the top of my head
once. While experimenting with magic.
Sex creates real spiritual energies. And it creates a bond
between humans. If we misuse this power, we will have to
atone for it at a later time.

The way the verse was originally written, the focus was on the action of the heart, as opposed to the eyes. So yes, it is adultery, and even without the spiritual context, emotional cheating. Please, if you are in this situation, go for marriage counseling, before things get worse. If it's a friend, give them the same advice.

One of the most common questions spouses ask when confronting a marriage crisis is this: How can I save my marriage if my partner doesn't want to help find a solution? How do I succeed I am trying to save my marriage on my own? Learn here https://tr.im/jxFO4
It is a typical enough story: one partner leaves, the other stays. One remains 'in love', the other is uncertain. Whatever it is that has caused a couple to be apart, the one person who remains bears the prospect, fear, doubt, desire, hope of saving his or her marriage' alone.

Yes, because the intent is the important issue. The intent of cybersex is a sexual experience. THAT is the adultery.

I think if your wife is okay with it, it's fine.
But usually, it would feel a little weird to me, unless my wife was in the chat getting involved with it. I mean, if I do it now, it's with my girlfriend's explicit permission and with a mutual friend of ours. An I still feel a little guilty, so I'll find ways to make it up to my girlfriend.

Yes. According to the Bible, impure thoughts are just as bad as doing the deed itself. That's why I couldn't make it as a Christian....I'd see a fine piece of *** walking down the street and damn it, another 100 Hail Marys. God finally got tired of listening to me talk about the boy next door and told me to just do him already, it was the same thing.
