I'd say it all depends on you and your partner's views and expectations. We are swingers and not only is flirting acceptable for us but having sex with others is acceptable. But I have been in relationships where just chatting with another woman was not acceptable to my then partner. So it is subjective and only the two of you can determine.

Im a gay guy and have a bf , I flirt on line with other guys , which my bf knows about ,indeed sometimes he is with me and we both flirt . But apart from a few pics that's as far as it goes and we are both comfortable about that

i took these last night for her to send to her girl friend.

i think its ok as long as no physical activity is going on. Besides its not cheating if the partner knows about it

Yes, I think it would be cheating if it includes sexting and texting more than just the odd birthday wishes

Good input from everyone. Seems like opinions vary, but most find it okay as long as no boundaries are crossed.

my wife is an incredible flirt. the drunker she is the further she goes. it's very hot. she will pet and tease.

In my opinion, if the flirting is done behind the partner's back, I'm not sure if I'd class it as cheating, but it's definitely mean and insensitive. I wouldn't like it if I was in a relationship with someone doing it, especially if it includes sexting pics too.
A few years ago, I had a message from a woman flirting with me, but she told me she was with her boyfriend in her first message. She passed on a friendly comment from him and it was evidently fun for them as a couple, but I was already uncomfortable with it because I wasn't actually sure if it was a woman in the first place.... and I wasn't interested regardless!

Yes. In my opinion the deciding factor is whether or not there is any level of deception involved.

I think there are different levels of flirting. If it's flirting without the intention of hooking up with that person for sex, then I don't see it as harmful. The key is to recognize and respect the boundaries of your relationship. As long as you and your partner are in agreement over what's OK and what's not OK, that's most important.

I think it depends on how far the flirting goes and what boundaries you and your partner have agreed upon. Bottom line is, if it bothers your patner, you should either stop doing it or find a new partner.

I flirt with other guys on chat rooms , but my bf knows and isn't unhappy . I only chat and exchange pics of myself and so long as I stick to that its fine .

I feel flirting is part of a healthy way to be, it boosts your self esteeme and makes you feel a hell of a lot better about yourself. And if you cheat on your boyfriend or girlfriend, well if your meant to be with them the rest of your life, then that's one way to find out what you really want. My opinion only.

I don't think so, unless the intention is to sleep with whom you are talking and flirting with.
