I teach a class in Middle and High Schools that is focused on abstinence. One of the things I focus on is that Sex is awesome when it is done at the right time with the right person (marriage). Anything outside of that can be terrible, painful and even deadly!
The writer of Proverbs is saying the exact same thing.
As men, we need to be careful of flattery v.3.
If we do not stay away, we can lose everything we have...EVERYTHING! V.9-14.
Honor, wealth, STDs (v.11), disgrace, ruin!
I think most people believe that adultery is having sex with someone other than your wife. What about pornography? Pornography destroys lives and creates lies. It too can rip a marriage apart and put false thoughts (v.3) in a man's mind.
We need to be so careful and protect ourselves for our wives and family. Sex, any sex is not worth the destruction, pain, humiliation and disgrace in front of God (v.21) and family!
Single men! Protect your future and your future wife! Do not fall into temptation (v.22). Maintain self control (v.23)!

Why does the world want us to believe that their view of love is anything like the real thing? God's love is pure. Don't be fooled by the thought that true happiness can be found in the temptations found in movies, television, and the internet. Stay focused on God's wisdom! You will not regret it!
