Adultery is what adults do with adults other than their spouses (spice?).

It is also a truism that: Infants do not have anywhere near as much fun in infancy as adults do in adultery.^[1]

But seriously, it's not nice to cheat, it hurts your spouse in an awful way.

[edit] Christians and adultery

Adultery is listed in the Big Ten. Jesus mentions it over twenty times in the New Testament. He even talks about "adultery of the mind". He mentions homosexuality zero times.

Yet the single greatest threat to Fundie Marriages is apparently homosexuality, not adultery.
