Boyfriend/girlfriend will be fornication, not adultery, assuming nobody envolved is married to someone else
The celebs or even the stranger we just see and lust over is the adultery in the heart that Jesus and President Carter spoke of. It is one of those impposible standards which we all fail. Thus we all are sinners in need of something to lead us to salvation. Most faiths will say that God balances your good and bad qualities. Christians maintain a perfect standard. That you must plead gulity and that faith in God with that confession will lead to eternal salvation.

So, lusting over someone else (celebrity or someone you like) after someone before is adultery?
I don't see how lustingover a celebrity is cheating. I will never have a chance with them anyway so what is the big deal?
In a way the celeb just stands in for any of us. I could talk about my lust for Suzi E. And everyone in my high school class of 1979 would still know exactly who I'm talking about and why but you would not. The celeb who really isn't any better looking, sexier, or whatever is just an idol because of her fame, power and money.
I guess the big deal is that we really want to cheat, thinking on it, lusting just feeds that want as we start to work on tactics and strategies to make it happen.
Bluesoul, excessive lust and envy, in general is a sin, whereby chastity is considered a virtue. Within the context of b/f and g/f, if you cheat, you're sinning. You're also sinning with your g/f, if the two of you choose to have pre-marital sex.

Careful there, I haven't met a, "perfect" Christian in the 40 years I've been alive....we're just forgiven, and need to be constantly.
Lusting after someone, or even "something" is what is concidered a sin.
Being attracted to, or drawn to isn't.
It's the, "wanting to, own" portion of the lust that is looked down upon.
Pre-marital sex takes a special part of both of you especially if you wind up marrying other partners, they will never of had that first experience with you.
THOU SHALL COMMIT ADULTERY.. since this is a religious thing..
I do not believe in that crap.. + I'm not religious..
Then, for those who don't believe in the religious stuff. STAY AWAY FROM MY SPOUSE OR LOVER OR I'LL MAKE THE BOTH OF YOU DISAPPEAR PERMANENTLY?
I don't care if a person is religious or not. How about human decency? What gives anyone the right to betray a trust? It does not matter if they stopped having sex with you and talking to you. If they have and you want to get your jollies, MOVE THE HELL ON AND DON'T LOOK BACK! If you know someone is with you for the purpose of being with only you and they have no desire for an open relationship...MOVE THE HELL ON AND DON'T LOOK BACK! I throughly believe that this country should allow open season for scumbags who cheat on their loved one (spouse and (for those fornicators) lovers). Not only are you destroying someone's ability to trust and self-esteem, you are putting them at risk for STDs, and worst.
A case where the "worst" happened. A man was cheating on his wife with another married woman for a couple of years. After his wife found out, he decided to call it off and work on things with his wife. One day as his wife was getting off work, someone in a black outfit and mask held her at gun point, made her get on her knees, and executed her. Within a few hours, the man's ex-mistress was arrested (and is awaiting trial) for the murder. There are cases from my time in the military where men and women went overseas, had their "fun" and brought home something that their spouse could not get rid of. Lets not even think about the children who are usually left in the wind with a mistress or confusion brought into the relationship if female.
A friend of mine was telling me that in a certain country a woman can use whatever method she wants to kill the lover of her husband, but she can only use her hands (with or without hand based weapon) to kill her husband. We need that law here or if not death, lawsuits and more favorable options if a divorce is going through. I find cheaters to be slimey, scummy, scuzzy, and just "EW!" all sorts of nasty.

P.S. While the statement is religious, the concept is much more that a thing of religion. If you don't think so, look at how many non-religious married couples will tolerate a cheating spouse.
