As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
There is more to the 7th Commandment in not committing adultery in the human sense, because in God's Definition, adultery is all joining to anyone or anything, spiritual or physical which is not defined by two realities of:
Communion with God.
Marriage to only one spouse.
In the Old and New Testament, spiritual adultery is spoken of often, and is why the First Commandment in having nothing before God is first. It is defined as whoredom, and Whore of Babylon which is the Catholic religion, and now all religions sullying themselves with the immoral word, is called a whore because she is unfaithful to God in joining to regimes of this world.
In physical adultery, daydreaming about sex, masturbation, engaging in sex outside of marriage, fondling in dating is all breaking the 7th Commandment, and is a further proof from pornography, to the reality when people are off on the internet or gone golfing neglecting their spouse, that is adultery too, and that it is all a slippery slope, in people thinking they can neglect God or their spouse, and join to other things, and there will not be consequences in Spiritual and emotional damage. You can not have two things in your focus at once.
It is difficult as hormones are pleasure and the physical is a form which needs to be shed long before the grave catches us. It is meant to be difficult, so as to develop a strong Spiritual Will which in Christ overcomes our weaknesses.
Sex is blessed by God in the Holy Ghost when shared in a Christian marriage. The emotional and trust union is one of giving and security. God puts down a narrow utilization sex though which brings benefits. Violate that rule and parts of you go missing inside given to others in sex, you feel degraded and ashamed masturbating, pornography retards your ability to have relationships, and then there are diseases from cancer to VD, pregnancies, aborticides, broken homes and fractured marriages which end in divorce.
The proof of God's 6th Commandment being correct is the shattered homes, communities and societies. So God does know what He is guiding you with and when people choose to discard God and think they know better, the end result is always your harm, your destruction and hell, because adulterers and fornicators do not receive a reward with Christ. There is a literal Spiritual reality in this, because to become enternal, you must reflect Christ, and when you replace Christ with satan's lust and your genitals, satan goes to hell and your genitals rot off in the grave. When you choose those things not of God, you become those things, and they are not immortal life, but death.
This is the rule of God, and each of you reading this has violated that rule, and hides that self indulgence in shame, because you failed at being able to be God or being able to handle sex.
Do not make the mistake of thinking that you can violate God's Law and then slap Jesus Name on it by making it legal will fix what you fractured. That weakness will remain, and it will require even more diligence throughout life. So face the reality of you will have to work to pay for your stolen milk seven times over, as a lesson to stop thinking sinning is for free.
There is an order in this, you join to God first, God provides you a spouse when you ask, and God is involved in the marriage of nurturing each other, while placing God first.
St. Paul counsels that it is better if people do not marry, as marriage is a very time consuming and laborious reality. Violate the rules though in your youth in pre marriage and you will carry that burden all your life. Violate them after marriage and you will be burdened even further economically, emotionally and Spiritually.
When all have spiritual and sexual sins, the time is now to stop engaging in them, return to God, allow Him to heal and restore, and then having learned that you made mistakes, do not repeat them again for your eternal life sake.
The Seventh Commandment
Thou shalt not commit adultery.
Q. What does this mean?
A. We must fear and love God, so that our words and actions
will be clean and decent and so that everyone will love and honor
their spouses.
Marriage is a lifelong union of one man and one woman, unto one flesh. Marriage was instituted by God and is entered into by RIGHTFUL betrothal, or engagement.
- Martin Luther

Ephesians 5:24 - 25
Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
