Don't do Adultry23% Voted for by Spheres of Wisdom, Energizer Bunny, Weydon, trixie08, Makessenseright.
Adultry is going against a promise you made to someone you care for on the grounds of intercourse. It is bad and should not happen.

these are dictionary definitions of adultery23% Voted for by cosmosis, Weydon, trixie08, Augusta Agrippina, Benedictum.
extramarital sex that willfully and maliciously interferes with marriage relations; "adultery is often cited as grounds for divorce"
Adultery is generally defined as consensual sexual intercourse by a married person with someone other than their lawful spouse. As there is usually an implicit or explicit agreement between spouses to not have sex outside the marriage, the common synonym for adultery is infidelity as well as unfaithfulness or in colloquial speech, cheating. By extension, adultery may also apply to any other sexual activities committed outside the marriage.
When one spouse has sexual intercourse with a third party. Grounds for divorce in some states and provinces.
An adulterer was a man who had illicit intercourse with a married or a betrothed woman, and such a woman was an adulteress. Intercourse between a married man and an unmarried woman was fornication. Adultery was regarded as a great social wrong, as well as a great sin.
all of these definitions say that adultery is when a person cheats on their spouse. adultery doens't mean pre-marital sex.

I believe that adulty is having sex with another person without being married to them. It is something you can control and should.

My Opinion14% Voted for by Kei-Aira, Weydon, Oral Fixation.
I see adultery as having a sexual realtionship with two or more people, without their express consent. A little unorthodox approach, but that is my opinion. If you are having sex with someone, you should ask their permission before having sex with another person.

What if a married person fantasies about another particular person. Even though they may not act upon it, is that not also bad? Where does adultry start????....with a touch or in the mind??? There are many things the dictionary cannot tell us and this is one of them.

Although I can hardly believe that we are STILL having debates about what adultery is, I may as well state my opinion. For me, adultery is any kind of intercourse beyond the confines of a marriage. There is of course, sexual adultery; I also think there is some level of mental adultery. By confiding certain things to anyone who is not your spouse, you are, in a way, breaking the sanctity of the marriage and thus committing adultery.

Christian PhilosophyVoted for by Sharcu.
According to Jesus, anyone who lusts after someone in their heart has commited adultry. As in if you look at someone and have sex with them in your mind, it is the same as commiting adultry.
Just thought I'd share.

Adulterythe real meaning of adultery means "sex outside of heterosexual wed-lock" as written in the bible. This includes unmarried heterosexuals, unmarried homosexuals, married homosexuals, and a person having sex with someone who isn't married with them. And you can also commit adultery in your heart. By lustfully looking at other people other than youre spouse. This includes the list above. This adultery, but of corse, some people would like to change the real definition so they don't veiw themselves as adulterers.Voted for by Doom Pickels.

Adultery is breaking a PROMISE not to have sex with othersAdultery is not the actual act of having sex, it is just act of breaking a promise. No promise, no adultery.Voted for by Brew Kline.
When I got married, I never took any vows. No promises. When my wife was pregnant I had a girlfriend on the side to take care of my needs. It was NOT adultery because I never promised faithfulness, I never took that vow. Therefore, I never "cheated" or committed adultery. Of course when she found out she threw me out and that's fine. I never broke a promise.
So, men, please don't make promises. Keep your word. Better yet, keep your unspoken word. THAT is integrity.

Have a mistress, It is your God-given RIGHT
Women have had men fooled for a long time. Men are suckers today.Look at fairness. Men want a lot of lovers. This is true, and if you deny this you deny your own manhood. Women want a single lover. Let's do an average and make it fair for both males and females. Women want 1. Men want 1+ X. The average between both is [1 + (1+x)]/2 = (2+X)/2 = 1+X/2.
That is proof that a TRUE compromise between what a woman wants and what a man wants is 1 PLUS x/2. If a man wants two extra lovers then then the compromised equation becomes 1 + 2/2= 1+1=2. So the man does not get two EXTRA lovers, he gets his wife (1) and (2 divided by 2=1) one extra lover. Thus he has TWO total lovers, not the three he hoped for. Therefore at the minimum fairness, a marriage should consist of 1 wife AND 1 MISTRESS.
Look, women want to keep fooling themselves and that's alright. Men are not looking to bang the whole universe. They just want one more lover in their marriage to keep things alive. REAL men have always and will always keep their secret mistress on the side because women do not want to face the truth of a HOLY MARRIAGE, namely that between one man and two wives!
Women are selfish. They go against the HOLY TRINITY of marriage. Which is why men will always seek something on the side.
If you think your man doesn't cheat, keep believing it for his sake.

Wrong. Many women like to have multiple partners. Many men, including myself, would like to stick with the one, and I do not find your mistress idea desirable. Stick with your own fanatical hypothetical stereotypes, thats fine, but come spreading such theories in perpetuated practice around an area in which I have endowed myself, and I will kick you in the teeth.Please register or login to comment!
