I disagree. Temptations to hurt oneself (as in alcohol or drugs or sloth or pridefulness) are different than temptations which physically and spiritually harm young kids, and lead them into sin. Thousands of teenage boys have been horribly and disgustingly harmed. As said the Son of God: "But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea."

I don't think you understood what I said.
Temptation in itself doesn't "horribly and disgustingly harm" anyone.
It's giving into temptation and committing the sin that is harmful.
And nowhere does the Bible make the kind of warning you cite above for merely being tempted to sin.
The Bible tells us that even Jesus was tempted.
Being tempted is not a sin.
