Because often there is no chance for actual change in their lives -or it seems that way. So they feel trapped and grasp at any distraction/outlet.
We are only human after all.

What?
Do you mean like Kama Sutra masturbation?
Most people don't use just their minds, most people use their hand in some way or another...
and exactly what negligible action comes as a result?
Help me out here so I can answer your question... I'm confused?

Nothing better then a bit of mental stimuli to get the juices flowing!!! However, this does not affect any real action, it simply enhances it!!!

Because people love instantaneous feedback. Real improvements to our lives often require work with feedback that doesnt come for weeks or months, if ever, such as sending out a resume. Bleh.

(Because it is instant gratification and some people think that )sex is 99% in your mind anyways.
Maybe if I practice in my head, I can be better in action...
After all, what you can't do it physically,you can do in your mind.
You can do whatever you want to do in your mind as often as you want to, and no one will ever know.

Why do people smoke, eat, drink, work, play, ****, die, live, etc? It's probably what they're the most proud about in their tiny inferior minds.

They like to feel more important, but people don't go along with their vision.

It's the idea of satisfying one's selfish pleasures. However, this is a way to trap oneself into sin. You feel farther away from God as you continue to "satisfy" yourself, which is never satisfied as you continue to drift further into lust.
