It's been said many times in different ways above, but basically the same here.
In our relationship, "cheating" and "fidelity" have the definitions that the two of us will assign them. If neither of us feels it's cheating and neither of us feels it's infidelity, then we're certainly not going to let semantics make it feel wrong.
 
.... If nobody gets pregnant, and nobody gets an STD where is there any damage being done. A person's body is their own, they should be entitled to do with it what they will as long as there aren't any consequences that effect their spouse.

The problem with this for many of us, is that WE know we are being dishonest with our mate. Eventually for many of us the guilt that goes along with our breaking the trust our spouse has in us will eventually become a boil that festers within us which can begin to erode the relationship.
Worse, we will begin to try to justify it and feel that if we are that weak, so must our spouse be and if we are cheating, they must be as well.

It's a slippery slope at best, which for many is unnecessary as open, honest communication with our mates often provides solutions that work well for both without jeopardizing the relationship.
