    Sex and is it cheating

    When is it called cheating, only when you get married or make a commitment to one person and what difines that a ring? Then how would you define sex? Is kissing considered sex? Did former president Clinton have sex, did he cheat on his so called wife?

    Are you:
    A) looking for a legal definition
    B) Trying to find our own moral definitions out of curiousity
    C) Trolling/neffing
    As for our common defense, we reject as false the choice between our safety and our ideals.

    This is a result of what someone stated in the abortion issue thread, I believe I saw your participation in a post.

    the question isn't so much if president clinton had sex so much as if he had sexual relations (which he emphatically claimed he did not). correct me if i'm wrong here, but his genitals were involved, and so he had relations of a sexual nature.

    I understand your concern on the wording I used and I do recall the term "sexual relations" But would have been ok if he just kissed her, would it also have fallen in the "sexual relations" category? I guess an even bigger issue is did he lie?

    Yes, he did. Kissing is not sexual relations, but it is cheating.

    Cheating is doing anything of a sexual or romantic nature that you wouldn't do if your wife was right there.

    That's my def'n.

    Intresting how quickly this turned to Willy Clinton (I think he was just an example). Anyhow I think your definition is way too vague. What constitutes something sexual? Does masturbation count. I don't like to masturbate infront of the "wife" yet, for some reason, I just doesn't seem like cheating. Does it count if I'm masturbating to porn?

    Taken from an online dictionary...
    Main Entry: sexual relations
    Function: noun plural
    Date: 1950
    : COITUS
    Main Entry: co·i·tus
    Pronunciation: 'kO-&-t&s, kO-'E-, 'koi-t&s
    Function: noun
    Etymology: Latin, from coire
    Date: 1855
    : physical union of male and female genitalia accompanied by rhythmic movements usually leading to the ejaculation of semen from the penis into the female reproductive tract; also : INTERCOURSE ... So I guess anything but this is ok...

    If it's too vague, make some improvements. Specifics are something that are hard to hammer out for something like this. Flirting is another area. Most people wouldn't do it, but most don't think its cheating.


    If she doesn't mind you jerking to pr0n, then its no prob. If she does mind, then it is cheating. I don't think it matters if you don't like to do it in front of your wife - it matters how comfortable she feels knowing you do it.

    hmmm..maybe it is, maybe it isn't...if you're cheating just for sex and not love...then would that still be cheating?

    I'll have to get back to this after I eat and go out tonight...hopefully, I don't have too much to drink and end up in the adoption/abortion thread again.



    Btw..I never jerk off to porn...I hope this doesn't give me a time-out..I really love these topics

    well, ya see, the problem that i would have with this "definition" is that it's defining a phrase. it also seems to just say "male and female" are involved...which would imply that people who are homosexual cannot have "sexual relations" with other members of the same sex.

    since it's a phrase, i can take it apart and infer a meaning.

    from www.m-w.com

    Main Entry: sex·u·al
    Pronunciation: 'sek-sh(&-)w&l, 'sek-sh&l
    Function: adjective
    Etymology: Late Latin sexualis, from Latin sexus sex
    Date: 1651
    1 : of, relating to, or associated with sex or the sexes <sexual differentiation> <sexual conflict>
    2 : having or involving sex <sexual reproduction>
    - sex·u·al·ly /'sek-sh(&-)w&-lE, 'sek-sh(&-)lE/ adverb
    we can see that it just has to do with the sexes. hey, genitals have a tad to do with the sexes i'd say.
    Main Entry: re·la·tion
    Pronunciation: ri-'lA-sh&n
    Function: noun
    Etymology: Middle English relacioun, from Middle French relation, from Latin relation-, relatio, from referre (past participle relatus) to carry back
    Date: 14th century
    7 a : the state of being mutually or reciprocally interested (as in social or commercial matters) b plural (1) : DEALINGS, AFFAIRS <foreign relations> (2) : INTERCOURSE (3) : SEXUAL INTERCOURSE
    it indeed sounds like a dealing or an affair.

    so although the meaning of the phrase is shown there, i'd have to say they omitted a good deal from how it's used as a phrase.

    I'm not trying to be difficult nor am i bashing you but you are the one that pointed out that it was specifically stated as "sexual relations." Otherwise I would have just looked up the definition of "sex" as you did.

    In Clintons favor, the grand jury he was testifing to earlier defined sexual relations as 'intercourse.' So as far as the law was concerned he was telling the truth. To the American public, whether oral was sexual relations is a different story.

    He wasnt convicted of the impeachment because there was no legal ground to do so. Whether "popular opinion" convicts him has yet to be written.

    So the meaning for "sexual relations" that I have posted in this thread stands as is?

    Just imagine some guy trying to convince his pissed off wife that oral sex isn't sex relations. Think it'll fly?

    i actually wouldn't be surprised if the definition actually got there because of what happened. like i said...htf do you define a phrase like that? you can't! it's totally contextual. to define the phrase like that and be fair, one would have to allow other definitions over time and it could become quite huge.

    legally speaking, from canta's standpoint, one should be able to just say "i'm going to bust a cap in your ass" to a very important person and get away with it. after all, there's no legal definition for "bust a cap." when i visited the "bible" of our language at www.m-w.com and looked up "bust a cap," this is what i got
    The word you've entered isn't in the dictionary. Click on a spelling suggestion below or try again using the Dictionary search box to the right.

    Suggestions for bust a cap:
    1. bazookas
    2. bucketed
    3. besotted
    4. bookcases
    5. bicoastal
    6. back-to-back
    7. bookkeeper
    8. buckets
    9. besteaded
    10. bistered
    so of course it could be argued that the person simply speaking metaphorically of the little cap gun toy things or something. but truth be told, if a "real person" said that to someone in a very high position, it would be taken very seriously. why? cuz everyone knows what certain things mean without needing to look it up.

    what happened at the time wasn't so much about whether or not the president was telling the truth as it became a question of if our country could afford to have something like this drag out. we all know he lied. there are just varying degrees of how much we care individually.

    I totally understand what you have explained Mojo and In no way am i saying that you are wrong, but the other point i was trying to make I guess is that when a phrase such as "bust a cap in your ass" is made especially if brought up in a court of law, I'm sure they will try and put a meaning to this from the context it was used in, as they did "sexual relations" in this case is was determined that it was intercourse I believe as it was posted earlier.

    Does it really matter if it were sexual relations...sexual intercourse, a bj, genital touching... a kiss...a feel...blahhh blahh blahh......instead of pulling up the online dictionary definitions of whats what..lets just look at it my way..


    I feel a thrashing for this one ...Where's my candybar

    When is it called cheating,....the minute you begin to have feelings for someone else in any way, whether it be for love or lust, and act upon that physically & not just in thought...yes, whether it be if you were married or committed to someone........ only when you get married or make a commitment to one person and what difines that a ring? .... a public symbol of commitment between you and your beloved, representing the permanence of your marriage...the circle itself probably means never ending hence the circle .............the irony of it all !. Then how would you define sex? ....for me, sex would be any act performed totally nekey, or half nekey, or if you're really good, not nekey at all ...physical...hence , touching, groping, intercourse, oral...blahhh blahhh blahhh.... Is kissing considered sex? ..... it would depend where you were kissing...and yes, it you were to kiss someone intimately and you were committed/married to me, yes, absolutely its sex in my mind...and cheating......... Did former president Clinton have sex, did he cheat on his so called wife? ...you bet he did, more times than we could imagine, I imagine ! He just became lax and got caught thats all...

    I think your definition of cheating is a bit funny. It doesnt really seem to matter what you do, just the feelings that are behind it. So if your bored with your best friend who happens to be female and decide to do something sexual with her is that cool? There is a such thing as fooling around. Though now that I think about it I associated it with being younger. Or what happens if she acts on her sexual impulses and you just go along with it just because. What about phone sex? Cyber sex? I think there has to be a scoring system. What she did, what you did, how you felt about her, etc.
    I'm a bit more curious about penalties. Do we penalise SigOth based on their score or above a certian score, it's over.
    I like that you consider kissing sex. I must have sex like over 100 times a week.
