I'm of the mindset that it's not a lack of loyalty that constitutes cheating, but rather dishonesty and apparent shame. Like, my girlfriend knows that I find other people attractive, and isn't entertaining notions that she's the only person I'll ever have sex with for the rest of my adult life. That whole concept, as far as we've discussed, is predicated on insecurity, and is an old fashioned idea that serves as a birthplace for resentment and misunderstanding.
But the moment one of the partners feels shame and demonstrates dishonesty on their part, they've dug themselves into a deep hole. So we both do everything we can to avoid dishonesty in that realm of behavior.
Gender doesn't make any sort of difference whatsoever?

And hate to be sexist, but if a dude cheats on his gf with another dude, it's somehow not as harmless. He's clearly gay.
It's just not in men's nature to get drunk and make out with eachother unless they're preeeettttttyyy interested in dudes, I know plenty of chicks that have gotten drunk and made out, perfectly straight girls, wouldn't go any further than that.

I would be a little confused if my gf cheated on me with a female but I don't honestly think it would be a relationship breaker, where as with a guy it would be.
Ouch. What makes you say that?
I tend to think people must have a lot of time and patience to be in polyamorous relationships. Keeping track of multiple interests and needs sounds like a headache.
