Is it cheating?

[Dethas]

It's not cheating if you don't think it is. Relationship paradigms when concerning tulpae are not the same as when concerning individual people.

 

In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with it. If you don't feel it's right, then don't do it. Simple as that.

If you already have a girlfriend, then you should have no need to have sex with your tulpa. If your girlfriend cannot fulfill your sexual needs, get a better girlfriend. And yes, it is cheating. Either way you look at it, you are in a relationship with one sentient being and would be having sex with a different sentient being.

It's not a cheating if nobody knows. Screw male monogamy.

[Hush]

Its cheating if your partner would feel its cheating.

I would be more worried about if your tulpa considers it as cheating and feels jealous. It would probably be more upsetting to your tulpa since she essentially is forced to become a cuckold and watch every time you're with your girlfriend.

 

I don't think your girlfriend would think that it's cheating though, if you told her then you would basically just be saying, "I had sex with my imaginary friend. I'm so sorry." and that would probably just make her think that you're completely insane. I doubt that cheating would be the first thought that pops into her head after hearing that.

Generally there are considered to be 2 types on infidelity. Physical infidelity, and emotional infidelity.

 

In general, woman tend to value emoional fidelity first, and become more upset when their partner is emotionally intimate with someone else.

Conversely men tend to value physical fidelity first, and become more upset when their partner is physically inimate with someone else.

 

after that it's up to you. I'd say it's not really cheating and more like masturbation. as long as you and your tulpa understand it's for the sake of feeling good and that your girlfriend already has that "special place" in your heart, it should be fine. your tulpa is a life-long companion, it seems inevitable.

Having sex with the same person over longer periods of time usually ends up evoking emotion towards the other person

Unless you are a cold as ice

I would consider it cheating, but that's just me.

 

I would also not have sex with your tulpa if you don't have feelings for her, especially if you already have a girlfriend.
