This must be a man thing. I dont pine after people simply based on looks. I have felt sick over not being able to have someone before, but I knew them more than just passing them by (stranger essentially) on the street. For me to really be into someone they have to have a lot more going for them than that initial "look".
I am not superficial. I am not only into looks. And there are plenty of superficial women out there who are.

My advice, concentrate on these qualities, and that beautiful wrapping will not matter much anymore.
I'm exactly the same. When you've seen enough eye candy, and been in enough relationships (as I haven't ) you will realise (I assume) the old cliche that 'inner beauty' is really more important.
If I go out I'll notice a few that I can't keep my eyes off for a few seconds, but mostly, no, most women are not so beautiful to me it hurts.

Women want that power over men. They enjoy men slobbering at their feet. Don't let shallow passions of the aesthetic control you. Remember that beauty is fleeting.
Women have a great deal of power over men, I feel that way sometimes too. Best thing to do is "take care of it" when you get home (wink wink nudge nudge)

Think of Survivor. Remember some of it is a facade. A lot of that 'beauty' is artificial. Imagine women without makeup, unshaven (yes, in those parts), with her hair a mess...Doesn't look so pretty now? Now you can finally stop kissing the ground she walks on, you can pull your jaw off from the ground, wipe the slobber off your face and put your eyes back in your sockets.
If she's a natural stunner, you're pretty much screwed!

This is mostly crap...I don't want men slobbering over me and I don't need to feel any power b/c I'm so damn gorgeous! However, it is nice to be noticed (especially if it doesn't happen very often). It would be the same if a woman was smiling at you and looking at you like a piece of delicious cake...it might give you a charge to know that you've got something that makes them want you.
In college, I was dining alone at some burger joint and noticed Stan. Yep, still remember his first name...and his black hair and green eyes...he was so tall...yep, he stopped me in my tracks. Could barely breath when I looked at him...so I kind of get where the OP is coming from.
I've experienced the feeling, but only to an extent. It's more like,
"Good god, how can anyone look that good?! What I wouldn't...*sigh* Might as well put it out of my head, because there's her husband/boyfriend/girlfriend." And by the next day I've forgotten about it all.

Maybe not you...but for many women it's either a self-esteem or a power thing. If they ***** about unwanted attention yet they still pander to the male idea of what's sexy, you know what they're really thinking. 'You can look but not touch.'
I apologize to your ears (and sense of good taste), in advance!
