A recent slew of trend pieces would lead a person to believe that our cultural attitude toward infidelity is shifting, or at least becoming more flexible. But is it, really? We decided to ask a random sampling of men and women to reveal their thoughts on cheating, open relationships and til-death-do-us-part. — Gwynne Watkins

The Participants:

person John: 25, male, straight, single person Chad: 28, male, gay, single
person Martin: 28, male, straight, single person Dupé: 36, female, bi, single
person David: 31, male, "sexual", in a relationship person Carm: 23, male, straight, in a relationship
person Emma: 24, female, straight, in a relationship person James: 27, male, straight, single
person Julia: 28, female, gay, single person Nadia: 24, female, straight, single
person Sandy: 28, female, bi, single person Mark: 30, male, straight, single

Question 1: In a relationship, what do you consider cheating?
Question 2: What's your experience with open relationships?
Question 3: When you're lusting after other people, do you tell your partner?
Question 4: If you discover your partner's cheating, how do you react?
Question 5: If you find out a friend of yours has cheated on their partner, does that change your opinion of your friend?
Question 6: What do you think about having sex with one person for the rest of your life?

Interviews by Patrick Cassels, John Constantine, Sarah Sundberg and Gwynne Watkins.
