Because that’s the fight. Of course we are saturated from the world. Men and women look at the opposite sex and sometimes think impure thoughts. To act on those thoughts is even worse. Where were you trying to do better? Thoughts enter the mind. Look away, remind yourself what it right. Remind yourself to do better. Apologize to the Lord, your dearest friend and love. Jesus will never abandon you. He has had ever sin you or I has ever had laid upon Him. Out of anyone you know, Jesus knows your struggles the most. So you just have to ask yourself. How can I do this better Lord? Help me with these impure thoughts Lord. I do not wish to hurt you or myself. I hope to walk better on your path. I know I can do better. I will try my Lord. Thank you for your forgiveness and love my Lord. Thank you.
Totally fine! That's really the only person you should be lusting over. That is within the context of a marriage and often will lead to procreation, which is what God want's of us.
I've always had a problem with this line. If it's adultery to simply lust then why resist the act itself if you're already supposedly committing it?
Which isn't me saying go commit adultery, or watch porn. Don't do either of those things. It just confuses me.

It's a mind battle, you can't help lust but you do control whether you indulge in it in your mind or battle against it to reject it.
A simple "no that's bad" when you look at another woman goes a long way in your mind and with God.
What about lust for your own spouse
