God gave you your mind didn't he? It is natural to have such feelings - you were made that way. Don't let them consume you or rule your actions, and you'll be just fine.
Don't live in guilt. That's not the point of the bible.

In the Bible it is said that if you look at another woman, or man, with lust, and you are married, even if you didn't do it physically, it's the same. I know it's hard not to sometimes, especially for the men. In today's society, for women to dress sudductavely is the norm....I didn't say right....but it's the norm. And same goes for us gals, the young men today are quite striking to look at, but you just have to turn and not look back. Society today is morally bankrupt, and needs a deposit from God!

Lust after a spouse is not a sin.
Lust after some one else's spouse is a sin :)
Cordially,

lust is a sin. lust is only in your head... so lustful thoughts are sinful. after you are married its not as much lust as it is love. talk to your priest

Yes lustful thoughts is a sin.....lust period is a sin. So it doesn't have to be a sexual lust......lust after anything is a sin.

thoughts are like birds. they may hover around our head. but we should not allow them to construct nest on our head. just do not resist temptation of lustful thoughts but you can divert your mind by involving in other activities.

it depends entirely on your religious preference. I would personally say no. it is perfecly natural to have lustful thoughts.

It depends on how you think of it... If you're a devoted Christian.. then waht the others say is true... but once you know that it's part of human nature.. then you'll say it's perfectly normal..
