Well, a man may lust after a new Acura RSX, but he probably isn't going to steal one, even if the keys are left in the ignition switch.

We all lust after money, but most of us can be trusted not to embezzle.

I think you left out the moral component, that for many people it's just morally wrong, and they don't do things that are morally wrong.
