In this episode of Sex With Emily, Dr. Emily takes a deep dive into the evolving landscape of infidelity in 2025. She unpacks how cheating today goes far beyond physical acts—covering emotional connections, digital interactions like DMs, social media behaviors, and even fantasies. Dr. Emily challenges listeners to rethink old assumptions and instead foster open conversations about boundaries, values, and intimacy, drawing insights from how polyamorous relationships navigate these topics. With real-life stories, listener questions, and expert advice from holistic psychologist Dr. Scott Lyons, this episode explores the impact of porn, the gray areas of "micro-cheating," and how communication can prevent betrayal. Dr. Emily also shares strategies for healing after trust is broken, including key statistics, self-reflection practices, and tips to understand your attachment style. #relationship #dating #cheating Show Notes: 00:00:00 - Defining & Preventing Infidelity 00:03:15 - Defining Infidelity in Relationships 08:12 - Relationship Boundaries & Communication 13:41 - Marriage Insecurities & Betrayal 19:19 - Confessions of a Reformed Cheater 22:31 - Open Relationships & Cheating 25:00 - Regret, Empathy & Modern Love 35:38 - Overcoming Relationship Hurdles 38:28 - Rebuilding Trust After Infidelity 45:44 - Monogamy, Polyamory & Attachment Access exclusive sex coaching, live expert sessions, community building, and tools to enhance your pleasure and relationships with Dr. Emily Morse.
