At what point in a relationship is it appropriate to play the "I'm sometimes a lesbian" card?

Tonight I hung out with a girl (who is probably reading this) that I can say with full confidence might be the next person I make out with at a party. She's cute, straight but just gay enough that some day, when given the right amount of alcohol we might be tempted to make out. I'm okay with that. I think Asheville might be okay with that as well. Guys, let me ask you. Is it cheating if it's with a girl? What if you're not involved? What if you don't even get to see it? Is it cheating?

I'm tempted to say no, especially at the point that Asheville and I are in our relationship. He and I both agreed not to close our minds, bodies and hearts off to the possibility that there is someone in our own city that we might fall desperately in love with. The issue here is that I'm not talking about love. I could never actually date a girl cause I kinda find them annoying at times (no offense to the girl who might be reading this). Sure I’ve had crushes on my old roommate, the saucy redhead who dated a friend of mine, Maggie Gyllenhaal…but nothing I would ever seriously consider. I could fuck a girl. I have fantasies about awkwardly public bathroom scenes where it's suggested that we were making out in a stall while dozens of drunk ass girls wait for the only working bathroom that we happen to be in.

So here I'm talking about just plain old, sex. This is acting on raw animal emotions. No, that's not actually true either. There is something cool about saying you had sex with a girl (not in a threesome) entire on your own volition. But for the most part, it's just sex, nothing more, essentially a party trick. Is it cheating?

After some contemplation (well, 3 minutes of it at least) I've come to the conclusion that there is no ideal point in a relationship to float said card. However, I do think that you should mention it when it comes up and that your partner isn't much fun if it doesn't.

As for the infidelity quagmire - I've got nothing for you. Maybe if you think about the question in reverse, would you feel cheated on if your partner had drunken bathroom encounter with a guy....


Anyways I'd like to state for the record that I'm proponent of anything as long as it's in the name of good times...and it would be way fun.

Cheers
