Whoops! I didn't mean to do that.
The core ethical issue here is honesty, I think, not sexual promiscuity. I think that if you're not in a relationship you can fantasize about however many different people you want. It's just the eventual danger of hurting both the other person and consequently yourself, as well as family members and others involved, because of breaking a trust.

Even if you're involved in a polygamous relationship, and you all act as if you're not sleeping with anyone else, and then you do, well then you're cheating aren't you? I don't know, I've never been in one. [/b]
Very well put!

Perhaps fantasizing about other partners is a sign that our society isn't capable of satisfying our needs? There may be a day when \"cheating\" will sound like a funny concept, as if was originally meant to define the selfishness of the cheater instead of the selfishness of the one being cheated.
That is a sad but true statement.
It would not be the first moral issue shunned aside to satisfy our greed!
