I don't think the fact that you still desire it indicates any flaw in your relationship with Hashem I think the the person who has a desire to do something inappropriate and controls himself is closer than someone who doesn't need to overcome them.


 the beauty of judaism is that we are mainly credited for things we actually struggle to overcome and although this sounds basic, most people in society don't seem to understand this
I don't know what 'closer' means, but I disagree.

Yes and there's no option if you want to be a frum Jew.

I hate to resurrect such a contentious thread 
However I need to know is this the only answer to the original question posted here?

Mind you the original question was how to deal with these feelings and not whether it is assur or muttar or the haskafa behind not doing it.
