What exactly is sexting and is it cheating?

It’s cheating. To me anyways. To determine if it’s cheating would depend on your relationship.

Yes, it depends on the person, but I would consider it cheating :)

It refers to both sexual text messages AND nude photos. Or semi-nude photos, I guess. Pretty much the act of sending ANYTHING sexual, haha. I definitely, without a doubt, consider it cheating.

Yes it is the act of sending SEXUALLY excplicit photos and words over texting. Sometimes people get arrested for that if your under the age of 18. I consider it cheating because they usually wouldnt do that unless they were in some sort of sexual relationship with the other

Assuming you all think the same if the guy is doing the same via online chats too then, yes?

Sexting is intimacy over the phone…It can be love, sex, and flirting wrapped into one. And yes, it is cheating. It’s hurtful to know that you need to be affectionate with another person who isn’t your actual boyfriend/girlfriend.

You’re only supposed to do that with the person who you are in a relationship with.

yes it is flirting/ sexually talking to some 1 over text but its only cheating if your sexting with some 1 other than who your with . x

You consider flirting as being affectionate?

Alot of relationships nowadays start through msging. Thats how i got my first bf. We msged and flirted andit went further later. Its different then it was 10 years ago. You “sext” someone its like saying sexual things to people in person. Its just like writing a sexual letter to someone. just more instant.

So do you consider it cheating if you’re doing that with someone who you’re not dating?
