Sexuality researchers Diane Kholos Wysocki, from the University of Nebraska at Kearney, and Cheryl Childers, from Washburn University in Topeka, Kansas, have been looking into infidelity on the internet and sexting (sending sexually explicit text messages and photographs via cell phone). Their study revealed the following results:

Women were more likely than men to engage in sexting behaviors.

Over two-thirds of the respondents had cheated online while in a serious relationship.

So, my question tonight is, do you consider sexting with someone besides your partner cheating? less

Yes. And I've got experience with this too. My boyfriend is a very sexual person, and the girl he dated before me wasn't. So he got into the habit of talking to people online, sending them pictures, going on Chatroulette etc. Fast forward to me, we have a healthy sex life and all that, and I never thought twice about how he used to do that because I knew it was because she wasn't meeting his needs, and had no doubt that it wasn't a problem for us. Until one day the alarm was going off on his phone and I went to turn it off and up popped this message from a girl saying "How did your date go?" So I scrolled up and saw that he had sent her a picture of himself, and he had said that if he went quiet it was because he was on a date. At that point I didn't even want to read any more. He was in the shower at the time and I FREAKED out and I actually really had him scared that I was going to leave him. I let him stew on it for a day at work, then he came home apologizing and crying and saying that she had messages him from an old dating website account he used to have and was asking for pictures, it was a bad habit that he fell back into and that it wasn't going to happen again and that he deleted all of the places where he met those people from his phone and that he didn't want to lose me. See, he's a bit of an exhibitionist, so he really needs an outlet like that. So I let him make a blog where he can post pictures and such, I just told him he wasn't allowed to talk one on one with anyone. It's a win win situation for both of us now. He has an outlet, I don't feel that it's cheating, and every now and then we spice it up with a naughty pegging picture. All is well! less

Why thank you! I think that the reason why it's happening needs to be addressed if this is a problem for a couple. I don't know if my situation is common, but I have a feeling it's not and more likely it's a manifestation of more serious problems in a relationship. But if you just have a man who likes to show off his bootay in Victoria's Secret underwear, by all means, consider a blog! lol! less
