Edultery is committed by a married individual (an eslut) who is behaving in a sexually promiscuous way electronically - be it via Facebook, Twitter, email or elsewhere online with someone other than their spouse.

Due to the online nature of the interaction, physical contact is not necessary for edultery to uccur - edultery occurs when the spousal trust is violated.
