IMO, yes ... because even the thought is "adultery WITH her ..."
(A little out of context, but describes my opinion)

No, Knarf, I don't think so. The sin of adultery has not been committed, even interiorly, if there was no consent and no intent to the interior act (thought).
The unbidden and un-encouraged thought is a temptation.
Consent is sin.
Rejection of the thought is a moral victory unstained by blame.
Christ was tempted in every way that we are, yet without sin.

I don’t agree, but believe it depends on what we do with the thought. I’m a Christian who years ago lived as a lesbian. See my post:

I wasn’t able to include everything I have to say about it in that post. I would certainly discuss any other thoughts that anyone here might have.
