" Even the asuras (demons) observed the etiquette that no one should address a married woman with lust."
Srimad-Bhagavatam 8.9.4 Purport
Nowadays, it has become a fashion for married women to keep a boy friend or even ordinary people to think it is okay to seduce a married woman. I stopped watching Facebook for this reason because it was full of such stories.
Asura and demon are the same. Quoting from my website:
Aside the well-known definition from Padma Purana (viSNu bhakta smRto daiva asuras tad viparyayaH), quoted in CC 1.3.91, Srila Madhvacarya has defined asura as follows: asUsu ratiH iti asuraH - "Asura is one who is addicted to the movement of the asu (prana, life force)." In the Isavasya Upanisad bhasya Adi Sankara similarly says: "asUsu ramate iti asura". The movement of life force through various psycho-physical endeavors produces ecstasy or exhilaration of different kinds. Those who chase this as a thing in itself, or who compulsively engage in such false-egoistic passionate behavior, are asuras. ("...RAISING THE SO-CALLED WITCHPOWER, VRIL, CHI. THIS IS THE ESSENCE OF SATANISM." [link to a Satanist site removed]) Instead of their real identity as jiva, asuras are focused on upadhi, externals in the form of subtle and physical body. Prana is a part of linga sarira, subtle body, and serves as interface with the physical body. (SB 4.29.71) At death it leaves to another physical body. (Vedantasutra 2.4.13, SB 4.28.24)
