Channeling Sex and the City

So it wasn't an article I read on some sort of global social issue. I was just driving in my car thinking about life. Thinking about whether or not I had grabbed my cell phone because I knew if I forgot it I would be in BIG trouble with my guy. We are both busy a lot so we stay in touch all day by text message. I got to thinking about technology and I wondered if technology makes it easier or harder to cheat? Let me first say that I am NOT thinking about cheating. I was just thinking about the days before cell phones, when we were not tied to them. I know that if my boyfriend texts me there is a certain acceptable time frame I need to text back in or he will think something bad is going on. There are the exceptions when he knows I am at work or school, that I may be busy and my response may not be immediate. He is always texting. Sometimes I worry. One of my friends had a sort of affair while she was married. She had text sex with a guy. For those that are wondering it's like phone sex, but they are not actually talking. Just typing. He worries too. About me on the computer. If I am talking to ex's or chatting with people I am not supposed to be. My friend who had the affair, her husband was addicted to computer porn. She couldn't get him off of the stuff. She could check the computer history to see where he'd been. She even caught him in the act more than once. The accessibility to other naked women put huge holes in her self esteem and their marriage. They are now getting divorced. It makes me think. In a time before we had all these gadgets we didn't have so many ways to cheat. Where are the lines for cheating drawn? Is watching porn really cheating?

Cheating can be emotional or physical and both kinds are scary. I think technology has made cheating easier. Before all these gadgets your fantasy's were only in your head and no one else ever knew about them. Now the fantasy's are available at some keystrokes. Include your significant other in these fantasy's otherwise unfaithful you will be. These keystrokes leave evidence, don't forget to delete that text or your computers history if your aren't going to share. These modern marvels might make your fantasy's easier to reach, but it makes it easier to get caught too.
