Can hiding your lush activity from your wife/husband/partner be considered cheating?

it's being dishonest, but if really depends on what you're doing here. if your reading stories and jerking off to them, no. if your cybering with a partner, yep. 
just my opinion, btw.
just my opinion, btw.You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

I agree for the most part with Sprite but I think it also depends on how your spouse would feel about you whacking off to pornographic stories. If you are a man and your wife would go absolutely bat shit-bug fuck crazy if she found out you are flogging your dong to fantasies that don't involve her then I think you are on some rather thin ice by being here and reading the stories. It could also mean that you have married the wrong person too.
I think the best thing to do is find how your significant other would feel before you visit any web-sites like Lush and act honestly. And by finding how your significant other feels I don't mean by asking, most people know already how the spouse would feel and just need to be honest with himself or herself. But then being honest to yourself and your spouse is really the subject of this thread.

I have to say that if you do anything you know your partner doesn't know about because you know he/she "wouldn't understand and or appreciate" you are cheating. I have been on the wrong side of this and learned the hard way. I know this isn't going to be a popular sentiment but it is what it is.

After a lifetime of reading erotic stories and porn in secret, I decided to tell my wife. She was hurt and felt betrayed and wondered if she was not enough for me. But it opened up communications and intimacy in a way that has wastly improved our relationship. I think you are right.

Judging from divorce filings, yes!
But so can looking at another woman/man. The fact that some things can be considered cheating does not mean that they are or should be.

And judging by your age, well maybe your partner is from the era when sex was never mentioned and looking at porn was considered a really big deal. Views have thankfully changed.
If he couldn't even allow you to imagine being with someone else, well that is rather sad.

I think from a purely moralistic point of view it is cheating? But total honesty in a relationship is not possible or practical! Each person keeps secrets that they never share with anyone, it's there right to do so. If chatting sex on line helps relieve a desire that you feel would upset or offend your pardoner I feel it is a small deception.

You must be famous for your tactful approach and impeccable manners.

If I had a wife I should not have time for this place, we should be too busy together, if not then there is already something wrong.
As far as cheating, that to me means actually screwing someone else, I have never done that.

I'd say just coming onto the site isn't cheating, but cybering with members of either sex, in my opinion is cheating

I kind of agree with all of you all, but if enables you live out your inner desires and fantasy's? Why not? In some cases I have been told it actually took undo pressure off a married couple. I mean as bartender I hear both sides. Kind of like being a priest lol.

This is wise advice! We all need inner freedom and self expression in some shape or form. On this site I've found myself a keeper of other people's secrets (or at least privacy) but in my own life my guy knows I'm on here and what I do and don't do (listed publicly on my profile) and if he's ok with that then that's enough for me.

HALLELUJAH!! Finally someone that showed courage and maturity to actually C-O-M-M-U-N-I-C-A-T-E with his partner!! I can't tell you how long I've been waiting to hear someone do this. Congratulations for taking the leap and especially for how it ended up 'vastly' improving your relationship. LOVE IT!

I'm on here for the stories , ie to write some, and the chat.
I don't see it as cheating. I expect I will show the stories to my wife at some point.

I think it depends on your relationship. Some relationships would find even masturbation to be cheating, while other relationships can involve extramarital sex--so long as all partners involved were aware of the situation.
If you're hiding it, it definitely can't be good. After all, if you feel that your spouse can't accept you being on Lush, then you have to ask yourself why.
Basically, yes it could be considered cheating. But it isn't cheating by default. Only you and your partner(s) can say for sure.

There are certain fantasises that I have to hide from my partner , is that cheating?
I fantasise about her mother and sister but admitting to it would be suicide , so I say no , being on Lush secretly is not cheating unless you physically have intimacy.
Love and regards.

I agree with the majority on here, if you need to hide what you are doing on here, i consider it to be cheating.

It depends on what you are doing here.
Even if you are married you still have your own privacy I think.
If you just read once in a while here and that's it, why should you bother your partner with that? Especially if you know he or she will not appreciate it.
If you create a complete Lushlife in here, or start having something special with somebody, then I guess it's time to tell it.
I'm surprised by how many people hide their lush live away from their partners and find it a pity for some. It tells a lot about the trust and openness in a relationship I think.

I'm always 100% honest with anything I do. I DON'T delete text messages, I don't have anything to hide. I don't sneak around and do things either. Never have, never will. But, I'm not sexting either, at least not with anyone other than my husband. On the other hand, my husband is completely opposite. I'm not saying he cheating though, I don't know what to call it.

I think it depends on where your head is at. If you are merely reading the stories and enjoying them, using them for self pleasure, you're not cheating *on* your spouse, but you may be cheating them, denying them the opportunity to share the pleasure with you.
You do cross the line in my opinion once you begin to cyber or have phone sex. If you feel guilty, then its a sign that what you are doing is wrong for you on some level. If you are one of those cold people who don't feel guilt, then you have deeper issues and should probably take some time to examine your heart.
That being said, we all stumble and fall, but we don't need to stay down. We can choose to change at any time. If you are cheating (or even feel as if you are) you can change what you are feeling by changing your actions.

I find some of the answers given here amusing.
You ask about cheating. In what regard and by whose standards?
Do you refer to traditional Christian morality? If you abide by traditional Christian morality, what in God's name are you doing here, man?
Or do you pick and choose your Christian morals? For instance masturbation and anal sex are acceptable with your wife, but coveting another's wife or girlfriend is amoral?
Or do you want to take on the morality of any given woman who writes or reads about incest fantasies, but grows indignant over the idea you would seriously desire anyone save your own wife?
If you cyber (though you touch no one but yourself) you are cheating, but if you read your potential cyber partner's erotica and wank off to that, then you are not cheating.
In other words if you read my words in live chat messages and they make you hard, that is cheating on your wife, but if you read my erotica and that makes your hard, then that is not cheating on your wife. Sounds like hypocrasy to me.
No wonder the Christians refer to the passage where Jesus said, "If you sin in your hearts, then it's no different that if your really committed sin in real life."
Try to see it practically: If you are here at Lush, then this site has something to offer you that your wife does not. That is a fact. Real life is always more entertaining than vicarious life. It's not a bad thing you are here. It's not reproachable. But it is an undeniable fact that Lush has something you are attracted to that your wife cannot offer you. That is not your problem. That is a fact.
It might be a problem in telling your wife you engage here. It could be because you are ashamed. It could be because you feel guilt. It could be that you worry she might feel inadequate and insecure because you are here. So it's both of your problems if you want her to understand, but make no effort to get her to understand why you are at Lush.
It might be that you already know that she cannot overcome her feelings of inadequacy or jealousy of other women. It that case you keep it secret so as not to hurt her feelings. In that case what you are doing is risky. She might find out. Then what?
I would say, if you find yourself feeling guilty for coming here and covering it up, then you need to resolve something: your guilt/shame issues, your communication/relationship problems with your wife, or your (in)ability to rationalize your behaviour as most prudent compromise between your personal needs and the needs of your relationship.
