Yes, absolutely oral sex is cheating. In my opinion, Penetration is just one type of sex, it's not the only type.

Nothing is cheating as long as it's agreed upon in advance by both partners. Cheating or not though, we'd see no difference between oral sex and penetrative sex since either situation has the potential for one person to bring home a disease to the other.

...Yes. Yes it is.

I came here to say this. You summed up my thoughts completely!
If someone is in a monogamous relationship and has oral sex with someone else and tries to say 'there was no penetration so it's ok', like really?? That's just them trying to justify their own crappy behavior so they won't feel guilty about it. Unless your partner have talked about it and has agreed to it BEFOREHAND, doing any sort of physical act that they're uncomfortable with cheating, anything from kissing (or whatever their partner is uncomfortable with) to penetrative sex and everything inbetween is definitely cheating.

Wow, definitely cheating. No question my mind -- it's intimate, sexual contact.

I consider it cheating unless one is in an open relationship and the terms have been discussed ahead of time.

We were actually discussing this at work a while back. A few of guy friends do not consider it cheating if they receive a blow job from someone. Even heard one of them say that to a girlfriend when he got busted "cheating". I think that it all really depends on the person or persons. My current boyfriend considers anything including kissing to be cheating, but an ex and I had a fully open relationship where we engaged in sexual relations with others and we didn't consider it cheating at all.

Looks like pollers disagree with Clinton. Oral sex is sexual relations and a no-no in a relationship, unless you have an open relationship in regards to that.

I would certainly consider kissing to be cheating. Oral sex is absolutely cheating. Hell, mild flirting would have me a jealous rage.

This depends highly on the relationship. Cheating is a subjective term and means very different things to different people- the key is communication. If someone feels that it's OK for them or their partner to have relations with others, and they agree on it, then clearly it's not cheating. In my own relationships however, I would absolutely see it as cheating- quite severely so in fact.

If you're in a monogamous relationship, of course it's cheating. There should be no doubt about that.

If you're in any type of open/poly relationship, then that's your rules, and we'd need more information to give you a real answer.

Cheating doesn't equal penetration. You can cheat on someone without physically cheating.

This. I am poly and have multiple partners, but we have all agreed to be told before sexual activity happens. If it were to happen and we were not told, then it is cheating.
