imagine a consequence-free einvironment. given the opportunity to cheat on your SO, would you do it?

and by consequence-free, i mean you are 100% assured of:

no disease
no pregnancy
nobody ever finds out, or even suspects - it's like it never happened






i'd like to say i wouldn't. and i'm pretty sure i wouldn't. but hey, if the event had no consequences outside your head and the other person's head, then it's really little more than a fantasy right? a fantasy you get to touch and feel so, my answer is...

right now, never. i'd be cheating on a guy who comes home at 8 PM after a horrendous, stressful, exhausting day and takes over with the kids, telling me to go take a shower and relax. he cares more about me than he does himself, and he makes it easy for me to do the same. so even if it would never hurt him, i just couldn't do it.

now, if he ever pissed me off real good, i might change my mind

I would never cheat on my wife. If I want to be with someone else, divorce comes first.

No, I'm just not into that. She is so wonderful I really don't want to be with anyone else even if I could.

I don't know, but waiting for your mate to screw up so you can go looking sounds like some deep seated resentment or some other needs not being met.

Ha ha ha. "I don't like sex THAT much"? That's a choice? It's not an objection on moral grounds, it's more of a "Eh, sex doesn't feel that great."?

GracieBayb

If I were with someone it would be because I love them more than anyone in the world - and I believe that if you really love somebody, you'd never be able to cheat because it'd hurt you too much knowing that whether or not your SO finds out, you've cheapened and degraded your love for them

Virtually impossible

welfareloser

dude... loosen up a bit. it was a joke. as ialso pointed out... look at the poll options... they're jokes, too

nobody's "waiting" for their SO to screw up so they finally "get to" go screw around.

you must be a glass-is-half-empty kinda guy, it THAT is what you got out of a thread where people are saying:


he cares more about me than he does himself, and he makes it easy for me to do the same. so even if it would never hurt him, i just couldn't do it.

I can't cheat on someone I love.

(now, whoever answered yes... go bug him. he's the one with the problem )

ialsohaveadream

HE?

welfareloser

i thought of two answers. couldn't pick my favorite. so i'll leave it up to you:

1)

oooooo-ooo-ooooh! so, the "gender neutral" he isn't so much fun when we're talkin bout baaaaaad stuff, huh?!?!?

2)

of course "he." girls don't cheat. don't you read cosmo?




kinda like choose-your-own-adventure, only lamer.

whitak24

you crack me up, welfare.

i would say no -- i've had my chances, and turned them down.

ski

If I cheat, it's on a technicality that whatever girl I'm dating and I haven't broken up yet and I have no feelings. It would be impossible for me to cheat on someone that actually made me happy and I was in love with

Oh yeah, well I vote YES on moral grounds!

molecularfire

I'd like to think no but to be honest, I've never been in that situation so I don't know. I've had opportunities that I've turned down but I don't know how much of that is the fear of getting caught. Yeah, I'm not too worried about me cheating on my GF right now but how much of that is because I'm now willing to risk changing the way she looks at me I really don't know.

I've been on the other side of this equation and the answers an emphatic no, and I DO LIKE SEX THAT MUCH!!! THank you very much. In my experience, its the damn women who cheat more. I know of more unfaithful women than men. Sad.

(j/k)


it's one of those things that's damned near impossible to figure out, since the only way to assess it is indirectly, and by self-reported surveys. people are apt to tell the truth more often than not on survesy unless the subject is sex, drugs/alcohol, ... well, those are the two big ones. oh, and how good your parenting is/how smart or good your kids are. people lie like crazy on those in the past, men cheated more, period, if for no other reason than opportunity. as the gnender distribution of people who drive and people who work levels out, so does that of people who cheat... women may well have pulled ahead by a bit, but it's damn near impossible to know for sure...




(and i've been on the wrong side of that equation too, and yeah, it's amazingly awful. especially since i surmise the guy did it with the intent of telling me about it so i would leave him, but then got talked out of telling me. i found out two years later... and really wished i had known so i hadn't wasted another two f***ing years of my life on him.)

g222leav

consequence free? there's still the guilt that'll linger on for the rest of your life...

although i've never been faced with that situation, i'd hope i'd make the right decision...

but to answer your originally question...no

Wow, i'm impressed by the response of those who wouldn't. Not that I would want to but seeing how America is becoming it wouldn't surprise me in the least. This post actually made me smile and think......., "There IS Hope!" LOL!

No, I wouldn't! I'm happily married and could never imagine being with another man in that way. Sex is an emotional bond formed in a marriage and IMO, not to just be "handed out", theres a lot more than the physical feeling. And THATS what its all about.

it's possible, since i don't usually let myself get too close or attached to guys, making it easier to break away. i can't keep stuff like that to myself so i know i'd end up telling them anyway.

in one instance, after we broke up and he was all "moved on," an ex asked me if i'd been with any guys since him. when i answered honestly and he reacted negatively, my friends said i should've just kept my mouth shut (as in lied, pervs)
