The definition of the English word "adultery" is (fromĀ https://www.dictionary.com/):
voluntary sexual intercourse between a married person and someone other than his or her lawful spouse.
There are 6 types of illicit relations which are capital sins for Gentiles, and these fall under the Noahide commandment against forbidden relations; see:

Of these, the type which is related to adultery is the case of a man having relations with the wife of another man.
Having sex outside of wedlock without the intention of marriage (including a married man with an unmarried woman, and including prostitution) is fornication which is not permitted, but it is not a capital sin.
