Common sex act leaves couples divided as they can't decide whether it counts as cheating

Common sex act leaves couples divided as they can't decide whether it counts as cheating

Some people argued they would break up with their partner on the spot

What counts as cheating is constantly discussed amongst the sexes, and people aren’t quite in agreement over whether this newly common occurrence counts.

The way people interact now has changed significantly over the last few years, so the way relationships work has also shifted.

With these shifts come new challenges and questions, and there is one new phenomena that has recently popped up in the last few years that has sparked quite a debate on whether it counts as cheating.

I’m talking about Onlyfans.

Now... the debate isn’t asking whether it would be cheating if your partner had a profile, and was selling nude pictures to people online, but rather how the platform fits into a relationship.

Australian news site News.com.au asked a bunch of Australians their thoughts, and they got some rather interesting and contrasting answers.

1,870 people were asked if they think their partners subscribing to OnlyFans counts as cheating.

Similar debates have likely popped up in relationships of the past, with some likely remarking that watching pornography at all counted. Going further back, there were probably plenty of arguments over whether a Playboy magazine counted as cheating as well.

But here we are in modern times, and people still can’t seem to agree.

According to the results, 56 per cent of women believe that if a partner has subscribed to a porn star’s channel, it is ‘definitely cheating’.

However, only 38 per cent of men agree, with 48 per cent of men stating it depends on the type of interactions involved, compared to 36 per cent of women.

Only 9 per cent of women, and 15 per cent of men, thought it was ‘normal’ for those in relationships to interact with OnlyFans stars and watch their content.

The fact that subscribers can send messages (and certainly NSFW messages) to OnlyFans performers puts a new spin on the debate.

“If you’re paying for something, interacting and have a particular person of interest, that’s definitely cheating,” one woman said, with her friend agreeing and saying how much money was being spent also played into it.

One guy also described it as a ‘dog act’ and said it would clearly be crossing a line.

He added: “If I was with someone for say five years, I’d be like, ‘what’s going on here?'

“That would be a big fight. Whereas with someone new? Bye.”

However, two other men said that they didn’t consider it the same as having a ‘traditional’ affair.

Would this be a dealbreaker for you and immediate grounds for breaking up or is context needed for a good decision OR is it all perfectly fine and wouldn’t phase you?
