To be fair, the game through Briar says you're calling your friends up to bang, guilt free. Now, should it have been possible for the MC to share a last platonic moment with her friends? Yes. But, again, the game spells out pretty clearly, IMO, that these are specifically romantic moments.

You can even end the sequences with saying you were releasing pent-up energy. As for cheating, it's a case-by-case basis. I've noticed that people don't consider the MC pursuing romance behind the duke's back to be cheating because the engagement is forced and formal, but consider it cheating in the Nanny book when the engagement there is forced and formal.
