Call me dick all you want, Benji. I don't concern myself over such things.

(Never mind that I do not, nor have I ever had, a dick.)

Maybe you're one of those people who likes for others to preface every statement with "I understand what you're saying, but...". Perhaps you need that sort of acknowledgement. In which case, I'll indulge you.

I understand what you're saying, Benji, but I'm asking about something else entirely. All this talk about infidelity and cheating as it relates to sex.

If your partner lied to you about the price of a pair of shoes, is that a bigger deal or not as big of a deal?

If your partner didn't tell you about purchasing a second home in Zimbabwe, is that a bigger deal or not as big of a deal?

Moreover, I am not posing this question to you alone, but to everyone responding to this thread.

Why is sex such a big deal? But playing tennis isn't? But going to poetry readings isn't? But enjoying other activities with other people isn't?
