If There's No Sex... Is It Still Cheating?

Situation: Platonic sleepover (yes, it exists). Is it cause for concern from your S.O. ? We find out.

If you’ve ever shared a bed with someone you’re attracted to and kept your clothes on, congrats — you’ve had a “platonic sleepover”. There was no sex, but it wasn’t nothing either. So what exactly is this nonhook up? As an example, Emily was on vacation and decided to meet a male friend who happened to be staying in the city. They met for dinner, then had a few drinks at the bar. He then suggested continuing the night over at his apartment. Despite both of them being in committed relationships, she agreed.

After a little too much to drink, amazing conversation and some intense eye contact, they suddenly found themselves in his bedroom. And that ’s when it hit her. “We can’t do this,” she said. “Let ’s just go to sleep.”
