Recreational Sex - Is It Adultery?


I love a good debate and to me, almost everything in life is debatable except, as they say,
death and taxes!

So, here is my question…

Is swinging "adultery" by definition?

Swingers, do not consider recreational sex to be adultery when they are, as a couple, in agreement
on it.

However, by definition, it would seem that swinging can definitely be
considered adultery.



Adultery: Merriam-Webster's Dictionary
voluntary sexual intercourse between a married man and someone other than
his wife or between a married woman and someone other than her husband

Adultery: Princeton University WordNet
Voluntary sexual intercourse between a married person and a partner other than the lawful spouse.

But…just when I think it's an "open and shut case"…THIS definition clearly lets swingers off
the hook!

If it does not "willfully and maliciously interfere with marriage", I guess it can not be considered adultery.

Adultery: Die.net Online Dictionary
extramarital sex that willfully and maliciously interferes with marriage relations; "adultery is
often cited as grounds for divorce"

What do you think?

Is it? Or isn't it?

Doesn't last definition excuse cheaters too? Cheating can not be considered adultery either…especially if you don't get caught! Because…you have not "willfully or maliciously" interfered with your marriage.

What your spouse doesn't know can't hurt 'em and…as they say…ignorance is bliss! ;)

    If your partner cheats on you there is every chance that he (she) will do it again so you must be prepared. Nice site.
