I would surmise that if you had this discussion with your boyfriend prior and the resulting agreements/boundaries included having intimate connections with others, you wouldn't be asking this question.

So yeah.... it is cheating because more than likely your boyfriend assumed you were exclusive. Whether it was another man or woman is irrelevant here.

You and your boyfriend author the relationship you maintain. No one else. So only you and your boyfriend can determine if what you did is cheating; no one here can. Chances are that your boyfriend would consider it cheating.

I'm sure this is just because you are imagining two hot girls. Now try it with two masculine-looking lesbians.

Your shallow misogyny should then rise up and punch you in the face.

Im pretty sure that I was NOT imagining two hot girls. I stated if I was her boyfriend, in which case if she was masculine, I would be clearly attracted to masculine women and therefore would find her masculine girlfriend and her together to be a turn on regardless. What he finds attractive and what he finds to be acceptable is his business, I was clearly stating my opinion.

I will never understand how being cuckolded is a "turn on" but I know it is for some men. (Looking at you, Jerry Falwell Jr!)

I've been with my bf for slightly over a year and even though he knew I was bi, I've chosen him. We never had a conversation of including women. I feel strange though. On one hand I've explored my bi curiosity but on the other hand it doesn't feel right that I've gone outside the relationship. I mean he doesn't know this.

But would this be just as hurtful as if it had been if I had cheated with a man? Or not too much of a betrayal. Well I didn't betray him with a man. Was it really cheating though?
Not really, but "sort of", kinda maybe but not sure, possibly, in a way yes, but then again no, could be, who knows. Just don't tell him and figure out what you want.

If you really want to know, ask your boyfriend. That's the best way to find out if he objects to your having sexual activities with other people and if he includes women in that objections.

And of course, if you are allowed to have sex with other women, he should be allowed to have sex with other women, too. Fair is fair. And how do you feel about that?

Exactly. That's a better comparison. If sex with women doesn't "count," that is.

You may be expecting too much out of this forum.
