I need to know if emailing and telephone conversations are some forms of cheating because I think it is but I was told by a guy that it wasn't. Even if the persons are exchanging pictures and some may be nudes ones. Oh, and the conversations are sexually explicit. I was also told that if it's no physical interaction then it's not cheating. I REALLY need help with this one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unless you are actually in the sack with some one and getting it on - then cheating is strictly in your head. Sexually explicit e-mails?? That is modern phone sex. It is just fun - for some people. Nude photos?? Send me some if you could - but again it is where your head is at. If you still want your spouse and are not taking some of your together time away then again it is just harmless playful fun. Unless your spouse finds out and comes unglued, but that is another topic. Some people think that even admiring another person - for whatever reason - is cheating. It is all up to the individual.

How about you rephrase the question. Forget the semantics ("cheating" - "not cheating"), and instead ask - "is it appropriate for a married person to be engaged in sexually explicit conversations through e-mail and over the phone, as well as exchanging nude photos with people other than their spouse - against their spouse's wishes?"
Do YOU think it's appropriate? Does ANYONE you ask this question think it's appropriate? I think even people who would argue 'til they're blue in the face that e-mailing doesn't constitute "cheating" would have to agree that such conduct is inappropriate in a healthy marriage.

Any time that you give yourself to another person you are cheating whether it is physical or emotional. The time you are giving to the other person should be time you give to your spouse. It's okay to have friends of both sexes but I think we all understand that you are not talking about a friendly conversation. Especially if nude pictures are involved.

There are different levels of cheating to everyone. It is one of those things that is as different as fingerprints, yet, a lot of the guys that are "ok" with themselves exchanging pictures and stuff would have a cow if their woman was giving away nude pics of herself to a "friend" and talking dirty to him. Cause he knows what that other guy would be doing!
If you are worried about a current relationship problem about this you need to comunicate to you b/f about your feelings, if he is not willing to stop or make a compromise, then it is time to think about whether you are willing to let him continue, or just leave.
Remeber in the future to talk about it before it happens, just asking some ones def. of cheating before making any serious commitments.
I learned that lesson with my ex...

Yes it is cheating. Anything you do to share intimacy with someone else that you should reserve for just your spouse is cheating. Sorry! If your spouse is not aware you're sharing nude pictures or having sexually explicit conversations with someone then you are cheating. Cheating is not something that is physical, it is an emotional pain because it was an emotional act.

First of all **** if it's cheating. It's DISRESPECTFUL. Okay? No you are not okay with that, & guess what if you feel that it's cheating then guess what it is! Nobody defines the borders of cheating in your relationship but yourself! So if you feel disrespected which I certainly would then you better make it known....I highly doubt that if the roles were reversed you better half wouldn't have a problem. You need to let him know that it's not acceptable & stand behind your belief.
Good Luck to you & a big hug from me to you because I know the feeling!

If you are married, the only person that you should be sending sexual emails to are your spouse. The only person you should be talking "sexy" to is your spouse. It is OK to have friends of the opposite sex BUT that is all they should be is friends. So I agree with your definition of cheating. There doesn't have to be physical interaction for it to be considered cheating. When you get married you are committed to one person. And that person only. Good Luck and hope this helps.

If your spouse is sending nude pictures of themself, then it is cheating. Believe me the heat will get turned up and a physical contact will be made. It is only a matter of time.
Throw their computer out the window and tell them next time it will be them that is flying out the window.

Marriage or not, any kind of communication (email, phone, text message, face-to-face) where sexual comments or innuendos are made, and intent/desire is there...is cheating.
No physical contact need occur. Cybersex is cheating. Phone sex is cheating. Telling someone else you want to get with them (sexually) is cheating. Exchanging nude pics of each other, is cheating.
The age of technology made cheating something that can occur without ever having met the other person face to face.

Cheating.... its so dumb to call it cheating. Is there some contest going on that he is trying to win?
Life is not a game (by definition), if he is doing this, its not so he can win in some game. This is serious, how come he needs to do this with someone else (forget what it is called), find out why it is happening.
