Poll #3 - Relationships & Trading Photos
06/10/07 - 06/18/07
In this poll, we wanted to see what you thought was cheating, so we asked "Is trading photos and having hot conversations online a form of cheating?". The results did not shock me at all. What was shocking was how the poll was running along. At first, people were equally choosing "Yes, just outright wrong" and "Yes, but it's innocent and should be okay". Those two choices was running neck to neck in the polls. So at that point, our voters did think it was cheating, but some thought it was okay and innocent, and some thought it wasn't okay at all.
Then, all of a sudden, everyone was voting for "Yes, just outright wrong". The votes really start to pour in for that choice. In the end, it seems like most of our voters thought it was wrong to trade photos and have hot conversations (also known as cyber sex) online when you are in a relationship. That choice ended with 20 votes.
"Yes, but it's innocent and should be ok" came poorly in 2nd place with only 5 votes. Followed by "No, it's not cheating at all" with only 3 votes. So for those of you who think it's okay to have cyber sex and trade photos online, ask your parter first if it's okay. More likely than not, it's not what your partner desires.
