thumb|Paolo Malatesta|Paolo and Francesca, whom Dante's Inferno describes as damned for fornication ([[Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres)]]
Fornication generally refers to consensual sexual intercourse between two people who are not married to each other. When a married person has consensual sexual relations with one or more partners whom they are not married to, it is called adultery. John Calvin viewed adultery to be a sexual act that is considered outside of the divine model for sexual intercourse between married individuals, which includes fornication.
