It's quick, easy, and the likelihood of getting caught is very low. So, why not explore the internet for pictures, videos, or live connections? Besides, it's the internet; it's not really a betrayal. If that's what you think, you should know, it does hurt. Multiple studies report that internet infidelity is just as negative to partners as offline affairs. Second, if you have to hide it, it is a betrayal. Make choices that honor the ones you love. Protect your eyes, your desires, and your heart.
