What did Jesus teach? Incase you forgot here is what Jesus said about adultry, which is the sexual sin that we're talking about here.
Mat 5:27Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
Mat 5:28But I say unto you,That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
To me, that is just cut-and-dried, plain-talking. If you just look (or think about a woman in your mind) it is the same as you actually doing it! That means just thinking of somebody while 'doin' it' is a sin. Take a bit of time, and think about it, pray to Jesus to tell you what is right. You already know what is right, you're just trying to rationalize it out in your mind. Don't worry -- we all do that! Just ask for forgiveness and you will be forgiven.
