Proverbs 5 constitutes a stern warning against any involvement with an adulteress. It encourages faithfulness to "the wife of your youth." I find irony in the fact that such a proverb is attributed to Solomon, whose father, David, engaged in adultery with Bathsheba, Solomon's mother.
To be evenhanded a stern warning to women might be issued: "Don't get involved with an adulterous man. Be faithful to the husband of your youth."
