What exactly is cheating?

• Cheating has and will always elicit debate depending on where the accusations fall. Both women and men have different opinions on actions they consider wrong in a relationship.
• And for many women, it seems, all men cheat as long as he lends his faculties to any kind of object that inspires risqué fascination.

Take the thoughts of Amina Shaaban for instance. "Anything that involves lying and love affairs fulfills the crime," she says. "Every time a man uses his mind, or anything he has claim to, for another person or thing, amounts to cheating. And while what the society recognises is physical, it hurts more when the man shares his emotions with a different person. A lady may never quite get over it."
