LUST! Why is it such a problem in the Church?

It seems like "everybody's doing it"...LUST! Pastors struggle with pornography and infidelity just as much as us "pew potatoes" do. What is up with LUST in the Church? Are we just a bunch of mindless men checking out every babe that comes into view? Is your wife not enough for you? Is it ok to "check out the menu" just as long as you don't actually have anything? Look but don't touch? Why do so many men struggle with this issue?
Atheists like to say us Christians are just a bunch of sexually repressed weirdo's...but the evidence shows that the contrary is true! Why is LUST such a problem for most Christian men???
The worldly view is "this is ok"...
Unfortunately, we have to be very careful of the stuff to which we, and our families are exposed... The world view, as shown on so many TV shows, is that lust is good (just like "Greed is good" from that Michael Douglas film "Wall Street").
I encourage you to block even PG-13 TV shows, or better yet, only let your family watch things that are actually G rated, if at all possible.
I was astonished to learn, just yesterday, that some "PG-13" TV shows have appalling stuff. For example, I had no idea that on "DeGrassi High" (which is PG-13), they have had scenes like:
- A girl and guy making out, she climbs on top of him, and pulls out a condom...
Vigilance is required.
Take care of yourselves, and your family.
Why is lust even a problem
Why is lust even a problem for Christians? I thought Jesus was the answer to everything.
