Does having sex with a Robot count as cheating ?

That's just it. I dont see how a robot is any different than masturbating.

Cheating is always going to depend on the persons in a relationship when talking individuals, but others will also have their subjective opinions looking in.

Cheating to me is not abiding by the agreements we made about our relationship. I think it would be ridiculous to consider it cheating to masturbate or use toys or robots, looking at someone or fantasizing about others, but I know others who disagree. If it is within their relationship, and talked about as the relationship develops, before accusations begin, then I think it is relative to the relationship. But talking about what constitutes cheating for each person in a relationship is important. There are some that people assume, but they still need to be discussed to ensure on the same page.

Why wouldnt it be?

Because the spouse says it isn't. Cheating can only truly be defined by the couple (or more in poly) in questions, at least outside of the doing it behind backs.

Cheating means doing something "behind their backs" by definition. If it's consensual, it's not cheating.

Cheating is doing something that's not consensual. If there's an agreement, then it's not cheating.

Then why did you ask why wouldn't it be cheating if a married person had sex with a robot?

Part of the problem there is sometimes both parties are assuming that they are in agreement on what cheating is, but never actually talk about it, or just skim over it. So one considers the other to have cheated because that is their definition, while the other doesn't think they cheated, because it's not part of their definition of cheating.

Or to put it another way, if you don't tell me a given action is cheating to you, did I actually cheat if I engaged in that action?
