Wudhu of one who looks at the awrah of another person

Q: 

1. If a male is in a state of wudhu and experiences an erection, does his wudhu break even if no fluid is emitted from his genital organ? 

2. If a male is in a state of wudhu and sees another person's awrah, does his wudhu break even if no fluid is emitted from his genital organ?

A: 

1. No, his wudhu will not break. 

2. His wudhu will not break through this, but it is haraam to look at the awrah of another person. One should make tawbah for this and refrain from this in the future.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
