Yes, you are in some way emotionally connected to the person you are having cyber sex with, thereby taking away from the person you are in a relationship with.
Yes.
By my definition. Everyone has their own rules.
I would consider it cheating, but not everyone would. Best to be clear on your definition of ‘monogamous’, in all cases.
Yes, unless the person you’re in the exclusive relationship knows of the cyber or phone sex and is okay with it.
my guideline: if you aren’t comfortable discussing it with your exclusive partner, it’s cheating.
Yep. Cheating doesn’t have to be physical. It can be emotional.
Yes! unless you have agreed to that type of behaviour.
Like @augustlan said, some people wouldn’t consider it cheating because there’s no physical intimacy involved. However, I would consider it cheating.
I’ve heard the opinion that cyber or phone sex is no more cheating than is masturbation to porn. But I disagree with that – masturbation to porn is one thing, because there’s nothing personal involved. With cyber or phone sex, the person on the other end is tailoring their responses directly to you. There’s a personal element there that doesn’t exist in pornography.

No, unless you know them in real life and your spouse/significant other doesn’t know about it.
Yes absolutely 100% cheating
I tried phone sex once. But I found the holes too small.
