Read the article. It is worth the time to digest the totality of this man’s experience.

I think it can be. I don't believe a person commits sexual sin merely by experiencing an unintentional, spontaneous temptation to sin sexually. But I do think a person commits sin if, rather than refusing to crush that tempting thought, they choose to lustfully enjoy it.

His one mistake in his analysis is to disregard the fact that choosing to "lustfully enjoy it" is an action. While it falls short of acting on the lusts with another human being, it is a sin of commission due to the commitment of the sin in the mind.

Those that say, as I did in a previous post, that the inclination is not sinful, but acting on it is sinful, need to be careful to recognize that acting on it in one's imagination is still an act.
