It's natural to seek validation from people - to flirt, to know we are still attractive; as a way of socialising. We do it consciously or unwittingly and in doing so we hurt nobody.

Imagine you're in a committed relationship where you have a clear boundary about monogamy - it may be unspoken, but you feel it. The intimacy you share is tangible. It's there. You've been together now for a year.

You meet someone you're attracted to you. The opportunity is there to cheat on your partner. You feel excited, aroused, tempted and guilty all at once. They find you to be sexy and the feeling is mutual.

Would you ever cheat on your partner?

There was a study about this from Harvard Uni years ago in heterosexual couples, I think they found the majority if people that did cheat on their partner would be one-off offenders but there were 12% of men in their study who would continue to cheat on their wives!

I don't think cheating has to be a deal breaker, sometimes people do stupid things but I definitely empathise with people who choose to end a relationship because of it!
No never done it or even been tempted.

i usually agree on having only "open" relationships, so there's really no cheating involved. although most of the time both of us would seek a 3rd person for a three-way party.

Nope

Cheating on your partner would be adultery.

Australian Laws do not even consider it illegal.

Sodomy / Buggery is something you are ashamed of, I presume?

nope never.

I was married for 7 years I had lots of offers even 2 different couples offered me threesomes but didn't even though I really wanted to.

I agree with wysi to a certain point. I'm only into "open" relationships. I've learnt that most (not all) men find it too difficult to remain monogamous especially after the first few years. Not into 3somes though. Just have "ground rules" agreed by both parties, like say "we go out together to a venue, we come home together" or "go home with your trade, dont bring them home" (if you are living together only) and "dont want to hear the gory details of your exploits". I work shift work so there 's always plenty of "scope" for me and/or partner.

As soon as you succumb to temptation the first time it becomes easier each time there after.

adultery is not even considered unlawful among straight married people, ergo this is irrelevant.

again obviously mark_ has a twisted logic and a delusion of intelligence.

Hehehehehehe!

Jeez, group sex! That's a whole different category and also negotiable in an open relationship. If both parties in that relationship agree, that is.
