Ans. Cheating usually depends on what exactly is a deal-breaker between a couple. For example, for some people, flirting or even sexting with someone else, isn't a deal-breaker but having real sex is. Similarly, for some couples even talking to someone else in a flirty manner considered a deal-breaker. However, in your case, we are assuming that the two of you haven't decided what breaks the deal for the two of you, we can say that yes it is technically considered cheating and you should consider talking to your boyfriend about him.
Cheating really is a state of mind and if you already have another guy in your mind for something that you are not receiving from your partner, it will be considered as cheating. However, having said that, if you are feeling guilty and think that your relationship with another guy is nothing as compared to your current boyfriend, you should speak up and put everything on the table.
Sexting does give you the orgasmic feeling many people do orgasm to sexts or nudes, so technically we can call sexting virtual sex. However, if you want to save your relationship and are convinced you don't wanna continue with the other guy, you must discontinue talking to him and discuss this as a problem with your boyfriend.
