"If a married person was attending a club and just watching, but not touching, would this be classed as cheating? "
The only people who can answer that are the ones in the marriage. I wouldn't personally class it as cheating but some spouses class looking at other people in the street as a massive betrayal.
Each marriage is different. |

As it has been said before, I wouldn't class it as cheating however if that person would lie to me in order to go and 'watch' in a club, I definitely consider it as cheating. |

So if they just didn't tell you, it would be fine. |

No, the opposite.
Imo the cheating act is actually the betrayal of trust and honesty.

However not every one agrees and to be honest as you have stated that if you like someone you dont care if they are married. I would expect our views on this to be different...as while I am not dumb enough to think that I never play with cheats.. I will actively try not to x but that is why the world is interesting as we all have different views... |

For me, no it wouldn't be but I wouldn't class sex with a stranger in a club as "betrayal" either. But if he so much as kissed a friend or work colleague or someone from everyday life that would be. I'm aware I'm not in the norm on this one though. |

In the eyes of the Catholic Church, yes:
"You have heard that it was said to them of old: 'Thou shalt not commit adultery.' But I say to you, that whosoever shall look on a woman to lust after her, hath already committed adultery with her in his heart." Gospel of Matthew, Ch. 5, Vers. 27-8
However, you'll be surprised how many Catholics - in spite of telling anyone who'll listen that the Bible contains the unalterable word of God - make excuses for their own behaviour...

Swing clubs and strip clubs are *very* different situations.
Swing clubs are establishments that exist for the purpose of people having sex. Some people don't use them that way, and that's fine, but the point of them really is to meet people and have sex with them, or have sex with your partner and others, or have sex with your partner in front of others, or meet people to have sex with at a later date.
At a strip club, the point is not to try and have sex with the strippers. |

If you feel you have to hide it from a partner then it's certainly not healthy for the relationship.
It is not adultery as such, but it is possibly a betrayal. I would not use the word "cheating" but don't think that it is positive behaviour. |

If my relationship doesn't consist of trust, honesty and communication then I'm out.
I shouldn't have to keep asking if he has been to any clubs today or seen any strippers with the lads that shit should already been told and discussed with me otherwise I'm thinking well why hasn't he said anything did something happen OMG he must have cheated on me he seeing someone else.
I don't need that shit and certain won't put up with that. |

"If a married person was attending a club and just watching, but not touching, would this be classed as cheating? "
The OP raises a number of excellent questions here - thanks
Firstly, if anyone is attending a sex club, its generally not to play bingo I guess lol - so;
1. Should we married men ever use clubs
2. Does attending club mean he is cheating
and conversely;
3. Should a married women use a club
4. Does a attending a club mean she is cheating
Lets not kid ourselves peeps, both married /attached men and women attend clubs without their other half knowing and in a vast majority of cases, want sex

If I was in a relationship and my partner went to a swinging club without my knowledge, I would be very pissed off, whether they just watched or not. I would certainly be questioning the relationship, thats for sure. |

I don't understand that.*MR |

Define cheating?
Anything you do when you are in a relationship that you would not tell your partner because you know they would disapprove is cheating on their trust at the very least |

In my opinion cheating isn't necessarily just a sexual act. Cheating is telling lies, avoiding the truth or not being straight with your partner about something you know they wouldn't like.
If your partner knows you're at the club and what you intend on doing there and approves then it can't be cheating.
If you didn't know, then it is cheating. |

If I need to conceal my thoughts and actions from him then not only am I cheating on him but am also stressing myself out

They just wouldn't say anything. Surely as your own person, you don't have to explain your exact whereabouts to your partner every time you leave the house. That would surely be controlling. |

"these accusations of cheating just come down to control measures, based on your own insecurities, no one has the right to own someone like that.. "
That's what I've just being trying to explain but couldn't find the right words.
I'm an independent woman, and I could think of nothing worse than having to explain my whereabouts and my actions to someone 24/7. Just because you're married/attached doesn't make you joined at the hip. You are still 2 seperate people with your own lives and surely entitled to come and you go as you please, without any need for explanations or the third degree about where you've been. |

fb or fwb don't need to tell anything to each other. They are not in a relationship; they are in for regular sex only
Being in a relationship, whether married or not, brings emotional considerations into play
Both remain independant people but both are now part of a couple (two people) too. One doesn't want their partner's feelings hurt; unless one has a partner who relishes being cheated on, having sex with others without their knowledge will hurt their feelings |

If it "came out" I'd be far more pissed off at the fact he hadn't been appropriately discreet and had allowed other people to interfere in our relationship than the fact he'd been. But I'd also be pissed off if he decided to tell me. I don't want to know. That's how we work. |

Cheating to me, is the moment you do something involving others, that you wouldn't want your partner to see/hear. or that you know would cause them distress/upset. |

Some may; I don't. He is free to have NSA sex with whoever he wants who wants him too. Ditto with me. But sex, NSA or not, is not the major part of the relationship
However, if I have to conceal my feelings and needs from him and start cheating on him is when I would consider our relationship over |

"fb or fwb don't need to tell anything to each other. They are not in a relationship; they are in for regular sex only
Being in a relationship, whether married or not, brings emotional considerations into play
Both remain independant people but both are now part of a couple (two people) too. One doesn't want their partner's feelings hurt; unless one has a partner who relishes being cheated on, having sex with others without their knowledge will hurt their feelings
What makes you think that FWB's don't have a relationship?
And they only get hurt if the cheating comes to light.couples go on about its only nsa sex, but all of a sudden, it becomes like this sacred taboo, for anyone else, to have any..i find that paradox, highly amusing
Some may; I don't. He is free to have NSA sex with whoever he wants who wants him too. Ditto with me. But sex, NSA or not, is not the major part of the relationship
However, if I have to conceal my feelings and needs from him and start cheating on him is when I would consider our relationship over" so, if its not the major part of the relationship what is? would you stay, if one day it became sexless? |

" if its not the major part of the relationship what is? would you stay, if one day it became sexless?"
Why do people assume that if a relationship becomes sexless then people wouldn't stay?
I'm with some of my partners for more than the sex... |

"If a married person was attending a club and just watching, but not touching, would this be classed as cheating? " question is why would a partner go to a club by themselves without telling them, the intend or temptation might be there, betrayal of trust also.

"
A very good question . My first thought is no its not cheating . But put yourself in your other halfs shoes . And its them at a swingers club just watching . Id not be happy if my partner did it behind my back . |

There is more to a relationship than just sex. I enjoy his company, we go on holidays together, we share our concerns and our joys and oh, yes, we have sex together and with other people together and seperately too
And one day, if it becomes sexless (not quite sure why that would happen) we will still have all the other things in the relationship
If I could not have sex, then I would like him to find someone else for NSA sex |

Because surely people are free to go where they want to in life? My husband has been to strip clubs without asking me, he's his own person, a grown man, why should he need my permission? |

There are many reasons that relationships become sexless. |

What does that have to do with people attending a sex club to watch? |

"Cheating to me, is the moment you do something involving others, that you wouldn't want your partner to see/hear. or that you know would cause them distress/upset. "
I agree. If you are in a solid relationship, certainly as solid as marriage then you would know eachother well enough to know eachothers acceptable boundaries. If you purposely cross those boundaries with a third party without your partner knowing then I'd definitely consider it cheating. |

Just because you're married doesn't necessarily mean you know each other well though. People may think they know their partners inside out, but actually are oblivious to a lot of things. |

I would say no personally. However there are many who would say it is. I find its no worse than him going to a strip joint except the difference being he is watching people have sex. The moment he crosses that line though well you know the rest, unless he has genuinely been given permission to do so |

Simple. Ask your husband whether his boundaries includes you having sex with other men without his knowlegde. Then you won't have to guess anymore |

Not to me, no. It wouldn't bother me at all. I know it would bother some, but I still see that as more deceitful than actually cheating. |

As is a wife who tells her husband that she only spent £50 on the handbag that actually cost £200.
Deceit comes in many guises.

Totally agree that marriage is straight forward - there are many aspects of marriage that can lead to deceit and hurt ...but the loving companionship, the passion and us and downs of a lifetime together are worth it -
some people are happy living on their own, some people have a deep need to be part of a couple and are prepared to make compromises and work on it together, m x |

It depends on each relationship. If i did that at the beginning of my relationship with my wife. yes she would of classed that as cheating even if i said where i was going. If i did it now she would have a go at me for wasting that money and not taking part. Every one's relationship evolves. So what might be a yes now could be a very big no in the future |

I'd have to disagree Playful minx.
Marriage should be very straightforward.
Either you love someone enough to be totally honest and open and would not do anything to hurt your partner because they are your soul mate and you intend to spend the rest of your life together in perfect harmony. Or you don't.
Anything else like "it's not straightforward" or "I didn't touch so it's not cheating" or whatever else is a cop out. A lie or a cover up is done by someone who cannot be trusted. I wouldn't want to be married to that person. |

I'm not entirely convinced any marriage based on total honesty and openess would last very long.
'No that dress doesn't suit you', 'what on earth have you done to your hair', 'let's not invite your parents for Xmas as your dads a reactionary prick' etc.
My fb and I don't give a damn who else the other fucks but as an example I like to cook, and am generally pretty good. But occasionally you get it wrong and either come up with a dish that just doesn't work or cock up an element of one that should. When that happens she dances verbal rings to avoid saying 'well that was 3 wasted hours to make a complete fuckup sweety'. And I find it very sweet, even though a brutal Masterchef style debrief would be more honest. |

If you love someone then care about their feelings and you're unlikely to be brutal in your honesty.
I don't think you can compare a fuck buddy relationship where you don't care who eachother fucks to a loving marriage. |

I think you've completely missed my point. I've repeated my words below but in a nutshell we are talking about the simplicity of being honest not the simplicity of marriage on the whole.

When that happens she dances verbal rings to avoid saying 'well that was 3 wasted hours to make a complete fuckup sweety'. And I find it very sweet, even though a brutal Masterchef style debrief would be more honest.
If you love someone then care about their feelings and you're unlikely to be brutal in your honesty.
I don't think you can compare a fuck buddy relationship where you don't care who eachother fucks to a loving marriage. "
I'm not equating the two, just giving a personal example of certain types of dishonesty as a positive in a relationship. I think you will find however that there are plenty of people in loving marriages who don't give a damn who else the other fucks. This not being 1950 and all that. |

I don't see anything positive about white lies.
If you're prepared to lie about unimportant things then I'm sure you'll lie to save your skin.
I'd be wary of anyone who i thought was simply saying what they think I want to hear. But I suppose we are all different and we all expect different things from our relationships and friendships |

"If marriage is so easy and straightforward , then why is the divorce rate so high?
I think you've completely missed my point. I've repeated my words below but in a nutshell we are talking about the simplicity of being honest not the simplicity of marriage on the whole.
I'd have to disagree Playful minx.
Marriage should be very straightforward.
Either you love someone enough to be totally honest and open and would not do anything to hurt your partner because they are your soul mate and you intend to spend the rest of your life together in perfect harmony. Or you don't."
We obviously need to agree to disagree on this one |

I do wonder whether I'm doing the right thing getting involved in forums on this particular site. Being opinionated is not an attractive trait.

Years ago I worked with an autistic chap who was completely brutally honest. When the office bore was in the middle of banging on about whatever his tedious offspring had done the previous night he would regularly just say words to the effect of 'you're boring me now' and walk off. It was funny as hell but not exactly what most people would want in a relationship. |

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and as long as people are polite about it, which I always ensure I am, then there shouldn't be any issues. Personally, I find it interesting how people's difference of opinions vary, but If you feel you shouldn't be involved then maybe refrain. It's all about happy swinging for me, and the forums are all part and parcel of the fun |

"If a married person was attending a club and just watching, but not touching, would this be classed as cheating? "
No , neither of us would see that as cheating .
But having said that , neither of us would attend a club without each other either . |

Again not a great analogy but I get what you're trying to say.
My response would be that people who love eachother and care about eachothers feelings, like in our relationship, are more than capable of being honest without being brutal and thus hurtful.

Yep, not a great analogy at all. I'm on the autistic spectrum so I do believe that it's possible to have an open and honest relationship, just takes a bit of thinking and hard work. Then again I'm a Billy no mates and work colleagues are indifferent to me, but my wife's opinion is all that matters. Lol |

"As it has been said before, I wouldn't class it as cheating however if that person would lie to me in order to go and 'watch' in a club, I definitely consider it as cheating.
So if they just didn't tell you, it would be fine.
No, the opposite.
Imo the cheating act is actually the betrayal of trust and honesty.
