I think it would be interesting to get even a basic understanding of why people cheat...personally I don't understand at all. It's so lame. But its alarming that so many people cheat so often...
Also I think a poll on what people think is cheating would be interesting. I consider any occasion where you have an "intimate" moment (meaning not between friends or such, but a romantically intimate moment) with someone else (other than your current SO - someone you have a commitment of some sort with), then you may be cheating.
1) Have you ever been cheated on (that you know of)? Yes
2) If so, by how many different people (that you know of)? 1
3) Have you ever cheated? No
4) If so (for #4), how many different people did you cheat on? N/A
5) How many of these occured in a serious relationship? 1

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
