So many couples do not discuss what is and is not acceptable behaviour. It is important to discuss what each of you feels is off limits. Once you have agreed on acceptable bahaviour, both parties should comply.

It depends on two areas: The parameters of the relationship and the content of the affair.
If the parameters of the relationship allow one or both parties to cyber, chat, flirt, etc with others, then no it is not. If both people in the relationship did not agree to this, then no. If both parties in the relationship knew what was going on while it was going on, then no. If one partner keeps it a secret from the other, then yes. If the affair was not secret, but the other partner objected and you did not call off the affair, then yes.
If the affair was just flirting and never actual cybering, I would be inclined to say no. However if you were touching yourself while talking to this person, then yes. If you were just non-sexual close online friends, then no it is not an affair.

Yes. Does your partner know about it? Would he/she approve? Would you approve of your partner having an online affair? If the answers to these questions are no, then it would definitely count as cheating.

I think it does. You're thinking and imagining having an affair with this person when your talking to them online, so your heart isn't where it should be.

I think it does count as cheating. I think that what matters most in a relationship is where your heart is. If your heart is not completely dedicated to your significant other, you're cheating them.
I don't think cheating just consists of having sex with someone else or by kissing someone else. I think it also counts if you are proactively "looking" for attention from someone else. With my girlfriend, we don't even flirt with other people.

Most definitely. Anytime emotions, time and energy are taken away from the primary relationship and placed into another relationship for some type of gratification, it is cheating.

I would think it depends on how your significant other feels about it. I'm assuming yours does not know/approve, so I think it is indeed cheating. Cheating is also in the intent, not just the deed.

Depends on what your doing. If your flirting then no but its easy for it to go from online to offline. Just focus on the relationship you have

Don't put yourself in that situation. Do you believe that behavior is acceptable for your mate to do. If your mate doesn't know then more than likely it isn't okay. I think you should stay away from it.

Yes, Especially if you're having cyber sex with someone.
