Watching homosexual scenes in a movie with no feelings at all
Reading Xrated fantasy stories but not lusting or anything like above.
Having a crush on the same sex or opposite sex that's married but not lusting nor acting on it

These are hard to label sin, because to be "real" how many people have read Xrated stories and not lusted? Viewing/reading anything graphic fantasy sex leads to lusting.
The last one, I won't call it a sin, we are all given a lot in this life to deal with, just having the lot is not a sin. Thinking/acting/lusting, etc on it is.

Taking part in any sinful behavior is a sin, even just watching it or reading about it. It perverts the mind, and leads to lies and demons entering. We are to think on pure things, and Holy things, not things that lead to ruin.
So dirty movies, music and books are out. same with tv. God is calling us to holiness and purity.
Having a crush on someone of the same sex is a sin, so is having a crush on a married person. You say you arent lusting , or acting upon it. Wrong. You may not have acted yet, but if its something you think on, its sin. God says if we think something, we have done it. We are showing our true desires. and God knows the heart. You cant fool God.
Think on pure things and see how much you change and begin to truly enjoy life.

I would say that if you can NOT lust, then go to your doctor and have him check you out, you probably have a major problem that needs correction!
Romans 3:23
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
Isaiah 53:6
All of us like sheep have gone astray,
Each of us has turned to his own way;
But the Lord has caused the iniquity of us all
To fall on Him.

Is having a crush include lusting? If so yes it is sin.
By the way you are a sinner.
I am a sinner.
We are all natural born sinners.
You can't get away with it.
We need Jesus Christ to pay for this.
He did it, he paid and destroyed the power of sin forever.
Thanks be to God for the life of Jesus Christ

Yes any elicit activity or even engaging the mind in them are a sin. The only reaction one will get is self bondage and misery of the mind. If one takes thees things further and acts on them then the sinful reaction will come. It's only natural. We are not these bodies we are eternal servants of God. We have to put our mind in that direction and be like guards to our temple of the mind and do not let any unwanted thoughts or ideas in. GO to http://www.essene.org for the lost teachings of Christ

Grace(not Law) unto you, and peace(not division),
from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Only law IMPutes sin: Rom 5:13
Christ is the end of the law: Rom 10:4
So: In Christ there is no law = no sin
Those in Christ do not have childish fanatsies or crushes.
Christ: is man of child/man & perfect of imperfect/perfect.
Hence eternal salvation is notably through Jesus->Christ.
Point being made: grow the f*ck "up", by "grow in grace".
When praying to His Grace, don't look down, but look up.
The GRACE of our Lord Jesus->Christ with you all. Amen.

If you are wondering what a sin is and you are not a believer in Christ. I must then suggest talking to someone who does,and accepting Jesus as your source of salvation,when this happens the Holy Spirit will let you know, (even if its not in the Bible), what is sin and what is not. I AM NOT THE JUDGE,ULTIMATELY GOD IS.

none of these are sins because you are having no desires, nor are you acting on what you are seeing. while you may consider these thoughts, feelings, or sights unclean, having those feeings and watching those scenes alone are not sins.

I think it's unwise to put oneself in a place where satan can move in and try and get a foothold. All the scenarios you described above are like opening up a door, smiling to satan and saying, please come in.
Instead of trying to walk the line of sin, find the spot furthest from it and closest to Jesus Christ...just a friendly piece of advice!

It is a sin if you lust in your heart.
