Halakhah for Kiddushin 162:5

דתניא (במדבר ל, יג) אישה הפרם וה' יסלח לה במה הכתוב מדבר באשה שנדרה בנזיר ושמע בעלה והפר לה והיא לא ידעה שהפר לה בעלה והיתה שותה יין ומטמאה למתים

He desired her. Said she to him, 'Bring me that pomegranate from the uppermost bough.' He jumped up, went, and brought it to her. When he re-entered his house, his wife was firing the oven, whereupon he ascended and sat in it.'

Sefer HaChinukh

And also as they, may their memory be blessed, were like angels, as they had no other occupation - even for a short time - beside Torah and the commandments; and their intention was famous to the whole world like the sun; and they would not feel any evil feeling about anything, due to their great clinging to the Torah and the commandments. But we now should not even breach a small fence in these matters at all, but rather guard all of the ditancinings that they, may their memory be blessed, informed us [about] in particular. And regarding that which they did not mention, each and every one should do according to that which he finds his person ready, as we said. As if he finds about himself that he needs a fence even about the permissible, he should fence himself - as we found (Kiddushin 81b) one of the Sages who said, "Be careful with me because of my daughter," even though it is permitted for a man to isolate himself with his daughter, as we will write with God's will - since this matter is very difficult, and the evil impulse about it is strong.
