Hello,

This question is inspired from a movie.

In a distant future where VR gaming is so progressed that we can control our chosen avatars and we live in their world. VR would feel just like real world and it would be hard to tell which world is real and which is fake. The avatars look just like humans.

We have two strangers a female (F) and a male (M) (in 40’s). Both are happily married to their respective partners. (Their avatars age is in 20’s)

So one day they play a fighting game together (multiplayer random player selection), but in the middle of fighting, they end up kissing each other, and probably slept together.
And since that day, they keep doing this online, instead of playing the game by rules.

So, would this be considered cheating on their partners? I mean they are by no means getting physical with their real bodies and it’s all just online.

Regards!
