I can rarely admire a beautiful woman without lust in my heart. Whats a sinner to do?
Among my worst sins, for sure. A least most frequent.
For example I am goofing on youtube and out of nowhere comes a video with women in thongs at the beach. Not a rare video type at all on youtube. And at first it's "these girls are fit and pretty", and then it doesn't take long to send me over the falls into the lake of lust, even though I wasn't looking to go there when I did my search for vacation destinations. It is not like I am thinking, "that is an attractive bikini". It is the uncovered part that sucks me in.
I have heard it said that the most common sins of men are lust related, while the most common sins of women are pride related.
I really wish Christ had not said that adultry=lusting in your heart thingie.
Pretty women are one of the great joys of this wretched and often tumultuous life. It is a shame that lust is a sin, but it is what it is. I kind of get it and I kind of don't. I mean, if you lust but don't covet, is that a half sin, or?
Obviously, not every time I see a pretty girl I lust, but all too often if I wish I were her guy or I am jealous of who she is with, or I wish I had the ability to possess her, I think that qualifies.
Yep, just add this to the list. It is a killer.
FWIW, there are rare times I see a wholesome and gorgeous woman and I have no lust, but just admiration for her good fortune and hard work to be so beautiful. And lust doesn't raise its ugly head. But those are the exceptions that prove the rule. Usually, I wish...

My understanding is that lust is one of the big ones that most Christian men (and increasingly women) struggle with. Doesn't excuse it, but it is what it is.
Mortify the sin. Don't give it a chance. If you find yourself lusting at particular times, avoid those circumstances. If you see a beautiful woman wearing clothing that encourages it, look away. Turn away.
