As another man, past my teenage years, a HJ seems like the ultimate pity encounter. If a woman has withdrawn from sex, due to non-health related reasons, there should be no expectation of fidelity from the partner's side. I'm not even sure I would consider it cheating. |
PP here. It’s cheating 100% if your spouse doesn’t consent to it and you are doing it in secret. The breach of trust is the cheating. The question is what you can live with or not. And the consequences for her finding out. My partner has already told me she doesn’t want another woman touching me sexually even if we are in a sexless marriage or can no longer have sex for other reasons. I’ve told her that’s untenable. I would be fine with her getting pleasure as long as it’s not emotional or oral/intercourse. We agree to disagree. If our sex life gets to that point, I can live with lying about getting an occasional HJ, and the consequences if she finds out. |
No. Dealing with one woman is enough work. Why would I invite more into my life? |
| Seeing as 30% of men would rape a woman if they could get away with it, all you men saying no are absolutely lying (maybe to yourselves too). You are giving the answer as your ideal self, not your true self. I think most women would have an affair too, though they’d be more likely to have it as a long-term thing because then the sex is better than a one time thing. |
Is this reddit or dcum |
| Honest? Since I am a standup guy, I say NEVER!! |
Uh, what? |
How do you find out about this? I am early 40s and have literally never heard of a single couple where cheating has been involved. There’s also been no divorces that I even know of. We all have kids from early elementary to middle school. Am I living under a rock?! Or people just don’t tell? |
The divorces will come. I hope not. But you will start to see them over the next 5-10 years. You wouldn’t know about cheating in relationships even if it happens. Most people would never broadcast that stuff, even close friends and family. As a divorce lawyer, I can tell you a very large percentage of my clients have admitted to infidelity at some point in their marriage. |
| My husband hasn’t slept with me in 6 months, does this mean I’m okay to have sex outside of the marriage? There’s nothing wrong with his health, he just prefers abstaining. Also, I am not fat. |
You must have gotten your stats off of some nutcase website. |
Classy!!! |

I have had chances, didn't and wouldn't.
I have always put our relationship above myself and her. Every decision is made on how it would impact our relationship. Not her, not me just the relationship. |
| Nope, I’m not a piece of shit. When you build a life and a marriage u have to protect it at all costs. |
| I’ve had multiple chances and have never cheated. Not even on gf’s. |
