Ask QC: Is It OK To Sleep With A Guy Who’s Cheating?

My friend and I have a disagreement. I met a guy at a convention. We had drinks and made out, but after we fooled around he revealed that he had a boyfriend and that we were technically cheating. I felt pretty turned off by the information and didn’t want to hook up with him again even though he was hot and we had several days left in the conference. I had respect for him and didn’t want to help him cheat on his boyfriend, but my friend thinks that was foolish thinking on my part.

In particular my friend said, “It’s not like you’re having an affair. It’s just a trick. It’d be one thing if you were trying to have a relationship with the guy, but you just wanna have sex—so what do you care if he has a boyfriend? That’s their issue. If he wasn’t fucking you, he’d just fuck someone else.”

Call me old-fashioned, but that doesn’t sit well with me and our other friends stayed on the sidelines. So what do you think? Is either one of us right or are we both wrong and right in different ways? I’d love to hear your input!

When the cat’s away some mice do play! To be honest, we don’t usually ask tricks if they’re single. But if a guy announces he has a boyfriend before, during, or after fooling around, we might feel a little strange. On the one hand we don’t condone cheating, but on the other hand… SEX!!! So what’s it gonna be boys? The high road, the low road, or somewhere in between? Please share your advice and experiences in the QComments section.
