I don't get what he's trying to say is all.

The word "fornication" as used in the bible is always talking about sex outside of marriage which is a sin. The word itself just means sex but, the context you will find it in scriptures will always have to do with unlawful circumstances.
When a man is having sex with his wife the Bible just says he lay with her. The word "lay" actually means "lay" but, again context tells you what they are doing.
The word "adultery" is used to describe the breaking of the marriage vows. Normally the vows are broken by having sex with someone other than your spouse or if you are single by having sex with someone who is married.
