I have been looking for a place to ask this question for a while and am so happy I found this forum

I will keep it as simple as possible:
I have a boyfriend whom I love dearly. We've been together nearly two years and we are extremely happy together and plan a future together. Our sexual life is amazing and satisfying in every way I need. I never cheated or considered cheating ever, but lately I've been thinking about experiencing sex with one of my female friends.
It all started one evening when I went out with her and well, girls being girls we talked about sex. She shared from her past, as did I. She told me she never had an orgasm and all I wanted to do in that moment was to take her to bed and help her achieve one.
Nothing happened, though she did say she was attracted to me (she is bi) and would like to have sex with me. I told her I would have to think about it and discuss it with my boyfriend.
Every time I thought about it since all I wanted was to help her climax. In not one of my fantasies did I ever imagine anything more than me pleasuring her (I am not interested in reciprocal relations, only the opportunity to pleasure her). I do realize that during the act itself the chances of things taking their own route are quite high...
It's been several weeks and I haven't given her an answer, nor did I mention it to my boyfriend because it seems to me as cheating, even though my intentions are not replacing him in any way. I do fantasize of a gay experience, thought not anything more than a one-time-thing.
My questions are:
1. Is it really cheating, to have sex with a female friend? I know many women are physically close with their friends in certain ways, but does this cross a line?
2. Is it ok to just "help her" without having anything done to me in return?
