question about cybersex and loyalty

[shinji]

I have an interesting situation. See, I am new to dating, my first girlfriend is still my girlfriend, 10 months later. However, I was on yahoo chat today when someone i don't know pops up, asks to cam and says its not cheating.

My question is it cheating? My gut says yes, it is in fact cheating, but others I've asked say no. Personally, I turning down the indidvidual, but I think this would be an interesting discussion for other newbys out there like myself, what does everyone think?

I personally think it is. I mean it is not like porn where the videos and or pictures were produced to help stimulate any if not all men and or womens brain ha ha and sexual organs.
on the other side of the Web Cam is someone who is actually showing and playing with themselves for the pleasure of ONE other person. and the viewer is getting a "personal" view. I just personally don't think i would like the idea if my husband were to look at someones live web cam

I posed a similar question awhile ago and there was some great responses. Read through this:

Is it cheating?

ARE YOU MARRIED?

You can ONLY 'cheat' if you're married.

Got it?

Besides which - isn't camming rather like watching pornographic videos; lame but harmless?
Oh, 2little, she's not doing it for him. She's doing it because she needs to exhibit herself
and show some guy, any guy, how desirable she is. Gives her an ego boost
and a bit of thrill because she's being "naughty" and "power over the guy/teasing him"
without having to actually have sex.
Hence, lame but harmless.
