Or is adultery the same as fornication. For instance, if sex outside of marriage=fornication and adultery=fornication, does adultery=fornication?

Adultery is sleeping with someone else's spouse. Fornication is sleeping with someone without the benefit of marriage.
They're both wrong, but neither one is worse than the other. However, adultery is more likely to get you shot.

But the point you are missing is that fornication is also done be singles. So if some one is married and cheating then they are commiting Adultery while by fornicating However if the person they are cheating with is single then the single person is only fornicating because they themselves have not promised to commit themeselves to anyone.

Yes, Fornication usually involves only 2 parties, Adultery puts an extra 1 or 2 parties in the mix. Would you rather have your wife bang a guy after she divorced you or before?

Fornication is when an unmarried person is engaging in a sexual relationship with anyone regardless of marital status.
Adultery is when a married person (s) is engaging in a sexual relationship with anyone regardless of their marital status.
Adultery and fornication are different in that the marital status of the individuals defines who's a fornicator and who's an adulterer.
Adultery and fornication do have only one thing in common. Both are sinful acts.

I believe that fornication, is only about sex, whereas adultery is sex and sometimes some deeper feelings, but l guess that depends on how you see it. Either way, it's wrong to cheat on someone like that.

Fornication is sex outside of marriage, adultery is sex out side of a particular marriage. adultery is worse because it is a betrayal of someone who loves you and you have sworn vows to.

Sin is a sin in God's eyes.
If you are talking social acceptance, fornication is accepted more so than adultery.

Fornication is two people not married at all having sex with each other.
Adultery is two people one whom at least is married and are having sex with each other.
Two separate things my dear...
