Proverbs 7, in my Good News Bible, is titled The Immoral Woman. But it could just as well be titled The Immoral Man too.
Not just any morals, mind you. Sexual morals.
In verse 3, it says to follow God's teachings as if you were protecting your own eyes--this is something I personally know about, for my wife has had major complications following a stem cell transplant over 2 years ago due to her leukemia illness.
Verses 6 through 23 spell out a tale of a young man who finds a seductive woman walking near the corner of the street and invites him into her home, for her husband is away for two weeks. Even though the focus is on the woman being the seductive one, it could very easily be the man too. In the final verses of the chapter, it spells out that following such a desctructive path is like leading one to their death.
