We are deceived by Satan into thinking that if lust stays in our head, it hurts no one and so we justify it as a way to survive a fragile life. But Jesus has another message and another call for those who follow Him: You are not just to survive! We are to thrive in all that God has for us in Christ Jesus. The fight against lust has everything to do with our faith allegiance to Jesus as Lord and Christ. We cannot in good conscience practice those things that our Lord forbids.
