Is Incest Cheating If You Are In A Relationship?

If you are in a committed relationship, and you have sex with a family member that your significant other doesn't not know about, would you consider it cheating? To me, it's somewhat of a grey area-you are not having sex with some stranger that you have no feelings for, it's with someone who you have loved deeply your whole life, but you are still breaking the vow of monogamy that is usually part of a serious relationship. Family love and romantic love can both be really strong while being different at the same time, and I'm sure if incest wasn't so shunned in society, expressing love physically with family while at the same time expressing love physically with a partner might be OK. I have been married for almost 20 years, fairly happily married, but not much of a sex life anymore. If I had the opportunity to have sex with my niece or one of my sisters, it would be very tempting, and I'm not sure if I would be strong enough to say no.

 

Of course its cheating.

 

Not just sex, but Emotional Bonding outside of a committed relationship without your SO's knowledge is cheating.

 

Defiantly still cheating, sorry

 

I just want to qualify that the chances of even being tempted to cheat with a family member, for me, are very slim, and the guilt I would most likely have would stop me if an opportunity did present itself. But, it does bring up another question: if you are in a committed relationship, is even fantasizing about other people, whether they are family or not, the same as cheating? Could that be considered intent to cheat? If so, there are alot of people who do have that intent, even if they never act on it.

 

Making that jump from fantasy to reality is probably a scary thing, based on the possible negative consequences, and I believe it is a step that I couldn't make, even if my libido is pushing me to do it.

 

Cheating...absolutly

 

Yes, it is. You are breaking an agreement you made with your significant other without consent. It is better for them to consent. I personally wouldn't let my wife be with any other men...except her family, that would be really hot for me. So, I would consent

 

Of course haha

 

Yes

 

Yes, any relationship going behind your partner's back or without their permission is cheating.

 

Cheating is cheating

 

Obviously it's cheating

 

Of course lol, there is no difference

 

If all parties are consenting then no. If your significant other is unaware or is aware but unhappy with it then yes.

 

Cheating is cheating. You are being with another woman without your significant other's knowing. If they knew and were fine with it though then it wouldn't be cheating.

 

Cheating is cheating. Regardless of the people involved.

 

Yes it is.
