An inclination is not a sin. Dwelling in your mind on acting on that inclination or actually acting on that inclination is what is sinful.

What guy isn't inclined toward women?, to put it politely.

“What guy isn’t inclined toward women?, to put it politely.”

But that’s just it. A normal, healthy man, has an inclination toward women to whom he is attracted - to have sex with them, even if not his wife. We’re sexual beings - as created by God - and we have sexual desires that we must control. If we act on all of our inclinations, we would all be committing mortal sins left and right. Inclination is not the problem. Sin is the problem.
