Absonite, the quote says that if a man looks at a woman with intent to lust after her has already commited adultery with her.
Is that a premeditated intent to lust or after looking does he have intent to lust? The quote seems to say that somehow because the man lusts after her she is an adulterer also.
I must admit to lusting after women other than my wife. I have never acted on it nor intended to lust ,it just happens. These lustful feelings come and go in a matter of moments. Does that make me immoral in your passage?
As a quick aside to this discussion, at Merck Pharmiceuticals they have the 7 second rule. If you look/stare at someone for longer than 7 seconds they have the right to be offended and have you reprimanded. A stare of less than 7 seconds is okay.
