A sexually precocious boy ,when he grows up,will be inclined to be gazing with lust like adultery.
Therefore in your boyhood your home education and its environment must be strictly and appropriately controled by parents.

How is gazing with lust like adultery?
It`s `possessing` with a forbidden desire the one who is not `yours`. And so it is being possesed by the devil who whisper apparently innocent suggestions in the ear. Dreaming and treasuring that dream is somethiong altogether different that sits only on the throne of the heart of those with a truly spacious pure loving heart.

Lust boils down to self-centered gratification, greed, and possession of another human being for sexual gratification.You are cheating on your honor and your true love not to mention the honor of the person whom you are lusting after this is adultery.

How is gazing with lust like adultery?
It`s desiring somebody who is married to somebody else. It`s coveting what does not belong to you. Trying to possess them with the eyes. It could be a dangerous slippery path that if not controlled ''we can fall for somebody who is already married'' can take you down the wrong path. If you cannot set the boundaries - if you can`t ''not talking of those who can'' it`s not just a feeling of nostalgia for somebody but that might, i say might, lead somebody to take steps to draw toward himself herself somebody who is already of somebody else. Being in love is not a sin. It`s how we look at the other person. You can admire with chivalrous respect.

The lustful thought may be the foundation of that which leads to actual adultery, and this is why we are cautioned to use self-control and not commit adultery in our hearts for it can lead to a greater evil.

Jesus Christ stated it clearly that if a person admires other lustfully that is already committing adultery.

Adultery

"You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery;' but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a woman to lust after her has committed adultery with her already in his heart. If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna. If your right hand causes you to stumble, cut it off, and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna.

Matthew 5:27-30
