Internet sex and porn – is it cheating?

Some people believe that as long as you don’t touch each other in real time then it doesn’t count as cheating. Is internet sex on a webcam or through a chat room really sex? In this new millennium, more divorces are being blamed on social networking sites than ever before. Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and other sites that encourage social connection are now being blamed for causing real time affairs. Infidelity is now easier and more accessible online. And online affairs may lead to real time affairs more often.

One couple recently came to my office saying his affair was creating the demise of their marriage. They hoped that counseling would help them save what they could. He was not cheating in person, though. He was watching other couples have sex on the internet.
She described their dilemma.
“He claims that sex on the internet isn’t really sex.”

He disagreed.
“It’s not as if I know these people in real life,” he said.
