Do you feel that when in a relationship, either married, engaged or even just dating, having sex with other people with the consent of your loved one a form a cheating? Look at the definition of consent before answering....
consent: to permit, approve, or agree; comply or yield
Now with the "approval" of your loved one, is that really cheating?

No we dont just boink any whole or shaft willing... we are very selective and don't do it just for the sake of getting laid. Other's may do it just for the numbers, but we prefer to find friends with benefits!

For those of you who feel marriage is only about sex, you've got a lot to learn! We are being faithful and true to each other by giving one another what we desire and thats not just sex!
We just celebrated our 19th year together and have a very loving and caring relationship. No we are not trying to replace anything each other are lacking and we are mature enough to know that.

Seems like you already know the answer to you question and just want to draw attention to yourself. Promiscuous people are like that. So, if we convinced you it was cheating, would you stop? Nope. You're just an attention whore. OOOO lookit me lookit me my wife and i are swingers and we love it weeeeeee. But if I had to answer, I'd say no, but you'd better be 100% positive both partners are willing, comfortable with it, and fully informed. Sometimes one will say yes because they want to please the other so much that they'd sacrafice their own needs and wants. If you and your wife are cool with it - great.

For some strange reason the spouse agrees that their partner has sex with someone else. The reason could be wanting to get pregnant that the spouse is unable to fulfil. It has happened.
History has it that in royalty this is done to fulfil an obligation and ascension to throne.
In such cases where there is consent, and it is in the full knowledge of your loved one, then the term is not cheating. It is complying to the wishes of the loved one for a cause.
No, I do not think it is cheating. Look at the definition of cheating:
Surreptitious, unknown act, secretive, non-consensual.
From what you have written it is none of these.

No, it's not cheating. A marriage is a contract, in a legal sense. As with any contract, any changes may be made to the contract as long as both parties agree to the changes. You both consent; therefore, you have both agreed to a change in the original contract. It's amazing to me how this simple concept eludes so many people.

I have to ask you this, why in the world are you married??
First of all was that in your wedding vows? What started the whole thing in the first place? I would consider that cheating. In the eyes of God you took vows to be faithful to one another and you guys are not. There is something in your marriage that is missing or you wouldn't be out there looking for it somewhere else. Just end it now.

Why get married in the first place? Just stay single, lay down the ground rules and go live your life. If you have consent I do not feel its cheating.

No it is not. If one has permission/consent from their partner it is not cheating. In fact, often times the partner is a participant in the event, in my experience at least. Although it can be a slippery slope in regards to the "relationship" couples must be emotionally stable and emotionally intact in order to navigate this realm of relationships.

It don't matter what other people think. If you both are happy with your relationship. So I would say no it is not cheating cause you both want it.

No it probably wouldn't be cheating techinically. But this is a very fine line to walk.. and will still damage your relationship one way or the other.

Consent doesn't make it right, especially if you are married. Apparently the relationship needs to be reevaluated if both persons in a marriage is "OK" with having an affair.. its sick

Why would you call it cheating if you have permission, is it because you have a guilt complex cause you have now slept with another person besides your bf/gf finance, spouse.
You tell me
