I'm going to be frank about this because there aren't enough people really talking about this.
This honestly is the teaching that probably did some of the most harm in my life. We have to be very clear by what we mean by "sinful lust." Yes there is a "lust" that is sin, but there are multiple sources to draw from. From my childhood, I followed the teaching of the Decalogue on this, and that was fine. I had a clear heart-felt distinction of when it was actually wrong for me to have too much desire for certain women. And that was fine, for the most part, among christians.
But then the internet happened. Gay rights happened. inappropriate content exploded. Abuse scandals erupted. #MeToo happened. And christians became very, very angry. Suddenly, somehow, it practically became "unlawful" in the hearts and minds of lots of pastors, authors, and in general opinion to be a heterosexual male. I do think some pre-existing schools of thought found that to be a favorable environment and flourished, but it's beside the point.
So eventually, I caved to the fear and the pressure. But considering the sex drive sans castration to be a sin in and of itself doesn't solve problems, it creates them. The libido in my experience, being disconnected from my former spirituality, which worked, was transformed into something like a chicken with its head cut off -- wild, uncontrollable and undirected. That of course only adds fuel to the fire. You can't talk to people about it, they'll accuse you of sin, and add to your problems.
Regardless, it wasn't until a particular woman entered into my life when I had somewhat managed a kind of psychological castration, that I had to confess in prayer that I had heterosexual feelings for this single and attractive woman.
I think that made God angry actually, but in a good way. I was given a sudden powerful dose, supernaturally from my perspective, of divine love, lifting me out of my darkened state, and showing me that love is very much like a man of war, fighting for his wife (that's straight from scripture btw).
I feel for anyone caught in this scenario. I know how difficult the odds are that are stacked against you.
