Cheating it seems is something that we will all do or experience at some point in our lives. Blog reader and writer Peter examines his own experience and feelings.

A friend of mine at work said to me I’ve never known a gay guy who hasn’t cheated and she asked me if I had. I replied with all honestly yes
I have, she then said to me all gay guys are the same and I bet you think most lesbians are the same. I said no not all gay people cheat, and I learnt my lesson about cheating when I was cheated on a few months after
I cheated. It hurt, and I seriously took it as karma.

I cheated on my ex boyfriend about two years ago and being with a my boyfriend now who I adore completely, now I can’t think of why I ever wanted to cheat and cause them hurt except that I was thinking of my dick and not my heart, but the truth is I don’t think a 18 year old me had a heart when it came to sex and relationships. It had to learn what it was like to realise what I had done and by doing so I realised the truly worst part of what I did, what that I never had the chance to say sorry.

I don’t think it is fair to say all gay people cheat, think of their dicks or can’t be with a partner who they love. In some cases that might be true, but how many straight couples cheat on their partners. There are many different reasons as to why people cheat and it’s not my place or your place to judge. People may deny it but it’s the truth that lust can take over, but before you think of cheating think of what type of a person it will make you, and think of your partner. Do they deserve it and do you deserve it? Or maybe you deserve more.
