On the authority of Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) who reported that Allah's Messenger (may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had said:
A man's share of adultery is destined by Allah. He will never escape such destiny.

The heart yearns and desires (for such vicious deeds). The loins may or may not put (such vicious deeds) into effect.
