Answer
I believe that it depends on A) the individuals and B) if we're talking religiously or not.
A) Some define Adultery as being, extramarital sex that willfully and maliciously interferes with marriage relations. Some say that it doesn't have to be sex, but that it simply has to interfere with marriage relationships. So how we interpret "interference" would depend on the individual.
If a man kisses another woman/man, and his wife is perfectly fine with it... does it really cause an "Interference" in their relationship? If a woman kisses another man/woman, and the husband is perfectly find with it... was there a disturbance?
B) People today tend define it as any act of sexual intercourse outside of marriage or, perhaps a bit more narrowly, any act of sexual intercourse between a married person and someone who is not their spouse.
The only problem is, is if we're talking religiously... it can be interpreted a hundred different ways... simply because English was not the original language The Bible was written in, and so already it has been interpreted.

What does you shall not commit adultery mean?
Having sex outside of marriage, either yours, or your partner's or that of you both. Felt I needed to correct this answer because it's not at all true how God sees adultery. The bible tells us that in God's eyes it is even wrong to lust within our hearts. You can commit adultery even if you don't commit a sexual act. It's sharing a sexual or intimate bond (something you wouldn't do with that person if your spouse was around) with someone other than your spouse. If you are taking away your gift of intimacy a married couple is supposed to have, whether it is sexual, physical, mental, or emotional, if you are taking that from your marriage and giving it to someone other than your spouse, you have committed adultery. Give honor to marriage, and remain faithful to one another in marriage. God will surely judge people who are immoral and those who commit adultery. - Hebrews 13:4
