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.

You'll have to take it up with Jesus ...

Tell Him your theory

"Matthew 5:27-28
King James Version (KJV)
27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart."
