As noted elsewhere in this thread, it's likely that just as many women cheat as men. How do we define cheating? As liberally as "PIV sex" with someone else or as conservatively as Jimmy Carter's "I've looked on a lot of women with lust. I've committed adultery in my heart many times?" How about the "I only have 'sex' with my sub, she knows I 'session' (egad, I hate that bastardized usage) with others." In my small experience, the notch-carvers are plenty in "the scene." Those who seek the greener grass are easy to find. Those who are brighter cheaters invariably get sussed out in the numbers game whether they are women or men. For me, cheating is cheating. Intent counts. Personal ethics count. Rationalizations and excuses are crutches for morally and ethically weak people. Regardless of the preceeding rant, I can only walk my path. Judgement? You betcha. "Judgement" is not a dirty word, it's an examination of another's behaviors and words against one's own moral and ethical code. The self-examined life and all that, you know (grin). Knowing what one wants from the position of what one will or will not allow into their life is a very difficult thing. It certainly narrows the "playing" field. The slippery slope is imminent? You decide. Is it possible to judge yet be essentially tolerant?
