Bill Says: HollwoodLifers Think Anthony Weiner's Sexting Is Cheating, But I Think It's Fair Game!

Sexting naked pictures is no crime — although our readers certainly disagree!

Anthony Weiner is in the doghouse with his wife for his sexting scandal, but he’s in even deeper with HollywoodLifers — nearly 98% of whom consider his texting to be cheating! But I say that’s nonsense — his sexual indiscretions were no worse than looking at pornography!

It’s true that Anthony, 46, blundered in revealing his true identity to those women he had been sexting. And it can be argued that by feeling the need to do it at all was indicative of larger problems in his marriage to the now-pregnant Huma Abedin. But in no way is this sexting a sign he should have to abandon his Congressional post or Huma should divorce him.

When it comes down to it, Anthony never cheated on his wife. To cheat would imply physical contact with other lovers, of which he had none. He certainly made some bad decisions, but they were all in the name of fantasy and are a better outlet for him than alcohol, drugs or actually cheating on his wife.

Arguments have been made that sexting is cheating because it involves lying to your significant other about your sexual proclivities, but indulging in these fantasies without contact is a no-harm, no-foul situation.

And others have argued sexting is a form of emotional infidelity, but I find that to be bogus as well. If Anthony was so into the fantasy he wanted to actually cheat, he could of made it happen — he is a rich, powerful politician. But instead, he used it as a form of interactive pornography — arguably a creation of the highly-digital age we live in.

So give Anthony a break, America. He never cheated and clearly just has to have a chat with his wife about boundaries. Ultimately, his sexting should be viewed as a personal embarrassment rather than a treasonous act against his wife or country.

You’re wrong. The fifth woman to come forward is the most attractve of his sexters(which isn’t saying much) and there’s actually evidence she’s provided that shows they were planning on actually meeting in person. In other words, his activities were ESCALATING, it’s not like he was just keeping it online. If you look at his history with this twitter/facebook trolling, he only started this last summer(coincidentally, around the time he got married-or is it??). It’s not like he’s been doing this for years and keeping it impersonal. Instead, you see a gradual escalation in how far he was willing to go with this in the last year.

Now just cause he didn’t meet those other women in person doesn’t mean he was containing the situation. If you look at the women he wasn’t trying to meet in person, they were sorta ugly and/or old. I think these women were more about gratifying his ego, he tends to want to hear them talk about how much they want him. But with the more attractive chick, it’s a different game, he’s wanting to meet her. And he didn’t even show any sort of discretion, cause this woman was leaving very explicit and flirty messages publicly in addition to their private chats.

So yeah, your article isn’t valid. LOL

I have to disagree Bill. the problem here is them media turning this into a circus and completely humiliating his wife now. I mean, even your site is doing these body and face comparisons with his beautiful wife alongside porn stars. That’s just so degrading for her, so just cause there wasn’t intercourse, doesn’t meant there hasn’t been a betrayal on a really deep level. The consequences of him doing something pretty stupid and juvenile have been vast and brutal, not just to his career, but to how his wife is being treated and presented publicly. It’s sad that his carelessness has cause so much damage, but life ain’t fair. And the degree with which this has compromised her in terms of her reputation(people are gossiping about her, judging her if she stays OR leaves, thinking she’s dumb)is really unfair and by his own hand. Again, the response to what he has done in the media is disproportionate to his “crime”-I agree. But that doesn’t change that his actions has caused serious damage to his wife now, and I’m sorry but that alone, that thoughtlessness, is enough reason to leave him.

I would leave him for his lame sex talk game alone. “Rock your world?” I mean how can she even look at him without laughing in the bedroom at this point? lol

agreed

Dude if I was her, I’d be like, okay, I’ll stay with you. And then I’d get a twitter account, troll for some young college dudes, and then exchange naked pictures with them. Let have a taste of his own medicine, see if he likes her pulling a weiner herself. ha

Naw, pornography is a step down from personally contacting people to mutuallly masturbate. THere’s not physical contact but you’re still messing around on some level.

If I was her I’d leave him. The problem is he looks like the love child of screech from saved by the bell and gonzo from the muppets. You know this dude got no play growing up. And what little celebrity he’s found with politics, he’s jumped at the chance to finally get soem female praise. He’s not reached his peak yet, he’s on the onward climb of basking in the glory of being adored by middle aged black jack dealers who will stroke his ego while verbally stroking him off. If he hadn’t got caught it would have ended up with full blown cheating, he’s too compulsive for the attention.

So that’s why I’d leave-dude’s stuck in high school and needs too much attention and praise from females.
