Or if you look at another with adulteress intentions you should gouge your eye out.

Matthew 5:27-30
27"You have heard that it was said, 'Do not commit adultery.'[e] 28But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. 29If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into hell.

You misunderstand Scripture. No one, including God, expects you to cut off your hand or gouge out your eye. The Scripture that you are referring to involves repenting sin and putting temptation out of your life. It means that the sinful part of your life needs to be given up before you stand before the Almighty God in judgment. It is better that you cut yourself off from the world and enter heaven holy, than to try to take the world with you and find yourself in hell.

There is nothing in the Word of God that says anything like what you are asking.
I would suggest that you start reading the Bible from the beginning until you get to the end. Then you will at least have a knowledge base to write questions from.><>

You might be thinking of Mark 9:43: "And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life crippled than with two hands to go to hell, to the unquenchable fire."
It's not about adultry, it's about sin, period.

Mat 5:27 ¶ Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
Mat 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
Mat 5:29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast [it] from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not [that] thy whole body should be cast into hell.
Mat 5:30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast [it] from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not [that] thy whole body should be cast into hell.
