Jesus's idea of sin is anything less than perfect.

Let me repeat that: ANYTHING less than absolutely PERFECT.

It would be perfect if we never had a lustful thought about someone besides our married spouse, in the opinion of Jesus, therefore having a lustful thought about someone besides our married spouse is a sin.

This being short of the mark of perfection is why everyone sins, and everyone thus needs forgiveness through the grace of God, provided by Jesus.

It's Christianity 101. It's fine to disagree with some of these basic premises, but it makes sense on its own merits.
