#116 - Porn, Toys & Truth: What Is Cheating?

What counts as cheating when no one else is technically in the room?
In this episode of Girls Gone Gritty, Farley and Jennifer get honest about boundaries, secrecy, sex, technology, and the conversations many couples avoid. They start with lighter updates, from graduation season and family milestones to NCAA eligibility changes and Elizabeth Smart’s powerful reinvention through bodybuilding. Then the episode shifts into a bold and uncomfortable question: where is the line between personal privacy and betrayal?
The hosts talk through emotional affairs, porn, sex toys, masturbation, and how technology has changed intimacy, trust, and access. They question whether secrecy is the real issue, why emotional connection outside a relationship can feel more painful than physical cheating, and how couples need clearer conversations around what feels respectful or hurtful. The episode also honors Lulu Gribbin with the Got Grit Award for turning trauma into a safety initiative, then closes with a reminder to trust your gut, speak up, and keep communication honest.
