      The heaviest guilt lies with the tempter.  When a man has deluded and ruined a woman, society regards the woman with loathing and contempt, while the man often escapes with comparative impunity.  This is one of the grossest instances of injustice that the future judgment will surely rectify.  But in any case of profligacy great selfishness and cruelty are shown.  The miserable creatures … could not continue their wretched traffic if men did not encourage it.  The demand creates the supply, and is responsible for the hopeless misery that results. …

      It is a gangrene in society, eating out its very heart.  Nothing more surely undermines the true welfare of a people.  It is fatal to the sanctities of the home – sanctities on which the very life of the nation depends. 

The Pulpit Commentary, Proverbs p. 158, Proverbs 7:6-27, (W. F. Adeney)
