Matthew 5:28
But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
Of course, I think one would be hard pressed to insist that looking upon a woman to lust after her is prohibited for the married but permitted for the unmarried. To look upon anyone with the desire to use them for one's one selfish gratification of one's carnal lusts is dehumanizing whether one is married or not.
