When does having sex with somebody (not your partner) become cheating and when not? Is a one night stand cheating or not?

Good try but YES a one night stand is cheating. There's a thread on here about whether cybersex is cheating but a one night stand!
If you get that to fly, your a good lawyer.

Any sex with someone other than your partner would be cheating, yes...whether you should feel guilty about it would depend on many other factors, IMO...

Never argue with an idiot. He'll drag you down to his level, & beat you with experience.

it is only "Cheating" if you dont have permission

Hey Randy,

It is always cheating unless your SO gives permission (and, in my limited experience, probably wants some of it too).

I have a friend who says its not cheating if your in another area code but as far as I'm concerned if you don't have permission than its cheating

I agree with the others, unless you have permission and your S/O's full knowledge its cheating.
I have been in the dilemma myself having a marriage that was devoid of physical love. I never strayed because it would not be honest though I thought about it. They are my thoughts and the rules that I apply to me anyway.

If it looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, and walks like a duck........do we then assume it is a fish?

What was the question?..........Something about pets and gardening, right?

My wife and I each fool around on the side, and sometimes we have men join us. But we never just go out and have sex with someone, we always plan it to some degree so the other one knows that that day or night one of us will be getting laid. We never do it with out telling the other first. We both feel without the others ok it is cheating.

Anytime you share a sexually intimate moment with somebody other than the person that your commited to, it's cheating.
