According to correct usage, at least one partner must be married to someone else, for a sexual act to constitute adultery. However, some churches treat any sexual act outside marriage as adultery. On the other hand, the Old Testament only prohibited sex with another man's wife; a married man seems to have been free to have sex with a single woman.
