And they also said (Shabbos 64a): "Why did the Israelites of that generation require atonement? Because they feasted their eyes on promiscuity."

And they also said (Avodah Zarah 20a): "You shall be careful of all evil things' [this verse] means that one should not gaze at a beautiful woman even if she is unmarried [nor] at a married woman even if she is ugly."
