Based on this wikipedia entry:

Erotic massage is the use of massage techniques for erotic purposes.

For example, instead of draping the subject's body with towels, an erotic massage is usually conducted with the subject naked and undraped. Areas of the body such as the areas around the groin and intimate parts of the body, which are normally not touched in therapeutic massage, will be touched in ways that increase sexual arousal.

Erotic massage can be used as part of lovemaking, and its techniques can be used to enhance other sexual techniques.

Erotic massage may be utilized as a means of stimulating the libido, or increasing the ability of a person to respond appropriately to sensual stimulus. In some cases, erotic massage can be a form of foreplay without sexual gratification, intended to heighten the sensitivity of an individual prior to another engagement where sexual arousal and fulfillment is intended. In other cases, erotic massage may be used professionally to desensitize a man to the sensual touch of a woman, such that he may increase his sexual stamina and avoid premature ejaculation.

It is also offered as a service by some massage parlours (not to be confused with establishments that offer only therapeutic massage). In this case, erotic massage may be considered to be a form of sex work, or a form of sex therapy.

...I'm going with cheating. That may be seemingly narrow-minded of me, but I'm thinking that someone involved in an exclusive relationship shouldn't be doing anything like this with anyone else but their significant other.
