[schoolgirlz]

[Castle of Glass]

masturbating is, but sex isn't. cuz masturbating is normal

[drmindfreak]

i think it's kinda cheating if you dont tell

[ksdnfkfr]

No it is not cheating.
It is something you do with yourself by yourself.
If it is cheating then 98% of the world are cheaters.

[Mynick]

No it isn't but sex without telling or even after telling is indeed cheating.

Sex without the partner knowing is cheating. Masturbating isn't.

If masturbation is cheating then I'm sure many people are guilty of that. It's not cheating, what you do by yourself to you genitals is normal. People masturbate before they're in a relationship and if they don't while they're in one, I don't think that's true. Sex is a completely different ball game and that is cheating. If you're having sex with someone else, that is cheating. There is a huge difference between the two and only one is cheating.

Masturbation may not exactly be what we call "cheating", but in my honest opinion, anything that causes you to have sexual pleasure without your partner involved should be avoided as much as possible, when you're in a sincere relationship.

Now, many people may, and probably will disagree with what I said, but I'd like to suggest that one should think about it this way:

I) Arguably, it's tough to disagree with the fact that the closer sexually and intimately two people (dating) are to each other, the higher the quality of their relationship is.

II) As a result, the more intimate time two people (dating) spend together, the better their relationship gets.

III) When sexual tension is released, temporarily at least, one's desire to engage in an intimate event declines (this is not what I say. This is a proven fact).

IV) Masturbation (assuming done solely) is spending intimate time with one's own body which results in releasing sexual tension.

The result?

.:.) Masturbation, indirectly and whether you're aware of it or not, will cause you to be less excited about having sex with your partner.

Would you call that cheating in a sincere emotional relationship? Well, you might!
