If it was not something that was ongoing, I wouldn't want to know.
Yes. Because she knows that she's free to have sex with someone else if she wants that. If she hid it from me, it would feel like betrayal.
I would because there's nothing like having someone sleeping in the same bed with you and someone else. Seriously? She wouldn't cheat.
yes
She did cheat on me once. It happened while she was in another country on a vacation, I wasn't mad that she didn't it, it didn't mean she loved me any less. It was an action that was in the moment in the location she was at, sometimes that is all it is, nothing more.
Yes. I can't stand any secrets between us. One that big would be a huge betrayal.
If it was going on right then, I would want to know. If it was over and he wanted to tell me so that he could clear his conscience and make himself feel better, I wouldn't want to know. I think that kind of doesn't make sense when I write it out, but it makes complete sense in my mind. ;)
That makes perfect sense to me. If it is in the past, and the only reason he tells you is to clear his conscience, that is selfish of him. He should have to live with the guilt and not ruin it for you. If it is an ongoing thing, then you are being made a fool of if he doesn't tell you (and maybe there is something that could be done now).

I would because I would want him to be happy with who ever makes him happiest
i would want to know. but not always will you be able to find out. women are very powerful in that aspect. but theres a saying that goes "what you don't see, don't hurt".
Yes, if it was ongoing. No if it happened in the past. No need to bring up old hurts, but if it's going on, it needs to be addressed.
yes - because at least it would let me know my SO is at least having sex at all, something which no adult human being should be denied.
I don't think he would ever cheat. It would kill me if he did.
She would never cheat. But if she did, I'd want to know THAT she did, and how far it went, the circumstances behind it. I don't want any clue WHO it was with. weird I know.
Yes! I would want to know all the sexy, sexy details.
I would hate knowing, but feel I would need to know. A secret that big poisons everything good in the relationship.
