Unless you specifically gave your girlfriend complete control over your life, or veto power over everything you do, then no, it's not cheating.
Suppose there's a coffee shop in your neighborhood with a barista who wears revealing tops and flirts with the customers a little. Is it "cheating" to go get a cappucino there? Of course not. It's a harmless way to spend some leisure time, involving pleasant human interaction with no real emotional consequences. Same thing.
I'm sorry but I have to disagree.
A barista/customer relationship is nothing like cam fun. Other than a friendly greeting and perhaps some small talk there is no other interaction with a barista.
On webcam emotional consequences will occur due to the intimacy of the acts being performed, or discussed. Just because it's virtual doesn't mean it's not 'real' and not happening.
But I take your point that online interaction is just as "real" as one makes it. So I would amend my earier response to say this: having webcam sex is no more cheating than masturbating is. But developing feelings for your webcam partner -- the kind of feelings that could undermine your relationship with your girlfriend -- that's cheating.
I don't consider it cheating. They may not approve of it but I don't consider playing around on cam cheating. You've had no physical contact with that person and likely no emotional bond either. You blew a load with somebody on the net, big deal move along. I wouldn't tell her but if you feel guilty about it just don't do it again.
Simple answer to all the "Is it cheating" questions...
If you have a partner, and that partner doesn't know, or approve of your activity... Yes!
sexual activity your partner doesn't know of...cheating
