Would you shag someone else's partner?

**jrandom** · 27th May 2008, 13:31

Jorja's recent 'Unwanted attention' thread brought the above question to mind, and I'm interested to hear the general position of the KB population on the relevant ethical issues, such as they are.

Let's say you're personally unattached, suffering from chronic blue balls (or the feminine equivalent) and a married (or otherwise 'officially committed') person of the appropriate gender whom you find attractive offers you a go.

Do you:

A. Happily proceed with getting your rocks off, reasoning that you can offload moral responsibility onto the 'taken' individual - after all, you owe nothing to their cheated-upon partner, and whatever shit goes down in that relationship is none of your concern, or

B. Refuse in horror on the basis that you do not wish to be any sort of accomplice in such dastardly carryings-on, even if nobody whom you made a promise to is getting screwed over?

Ladies and gentlemen, your opinions, please.

Could'nt be bothered rootin around tbh. Pretty settled in life now, and am an old cunt kinda, and could'nt be bothered with all the bullshit fall out, divorce, sell property, divide up shit etc etc etc if caught or found out.

Isn't this a bit like this or this?
Maybe not? But I feel it's been done before.....

Interesting post, Mr Random. It's a toughie.

I don't think I would. Or, rather, I would take some significant convincing that 'it would all be OK' and I wasn't going to find a horses' head in bed as a result. It depends on who we're talking about, I guess.

Well, of course I couldn't really comment...

Technically, I have done the deed once - and once was enough to tell this smart chicky that it's not the go.
You might end up with the guy/chick, but karma is a muthafarka people.

Like he said it's a learned behaviour!

Remember the adage: A standing prick hath no conscience!

Young men generally have to learn how to handle these situations and most of us learn the hard way. (pardon the pun)

Cheers, John.

Looks remarkably like Dan's building a "who do I hit on" list.

Ladies for Dan, Guys for Carver...

Nah fuck that. No pun intended. My partner means more to me, than a quick shag.

But you have to admit Ace looks like a nice boy - and so very happy

interesting poll.
im only 20 and am a uni student where it is an easy environment to do most anything in reguards to ur choices on the poll, but i personally have never cheated on a girlfriend nor have i been with someone causing them to cheat. mayb i learnt from my parents or mayb im just soft in the middle but i like being with my girlfriends and would only move onto a different partner once the previous girlfriend phase is finished. monogomy seems to be the most moral and satisfying choice for me personally, i have numerous friends who in their machoism believe otherwise.

plus nobody needs the shit that can result in multiply partners without consent, thats just unwanted stress in my opinion

It is, except this time we get to evaluate it in mono-chrome.

This subject is a bit too complicated and delicate for this kind of treatment IMHO.

Depending on how you choose to read the first post many people would have to check every option.
