Directly stated in Leo's route, Brian says he experienced genital torture as a child (which he pins on aliens, but that was likely a trauma response and was really done by his parents). Later in that route Chase viciously attacks Brian's genitals to escape.
In Jenna's route Brian intends to sew Chase's genitals to his legs, although he is never able to do it.

Carl and Flynn have an unclear relationship status before the events of Echo (see Echo: Benefits), if you interpret them as having had a relationship each of them cheat in their own routes.
In a flashback in Jenna's route, Leo is manipulated into believing Chase was cheating on him, although it didn't really happen.
In Flynn's route it's directly stated that some of the men in the Smoke Room orgy are married.
