Do you think it is a sin to intentionally look at a picture of a woman on a website? Ok, my example is... I'm looking at Yahoo sports and there is a picture of what I know is probably an attractive woman below in the picture photos. This one happens to be a Golf picture. I click on the picture and I see the picture, but I keep looking at more and more to see more. Ok, I'm pretty sure looking at the first picture probably isn't particularly wrong, but when you continue to look at additional ones, is that sinning? What sin would that be considered? Is it lust? I don't think so because I don't have any sexual desire for the woman, I just like looking because she's attractive. What would it be?

I'm guessing Mirage5 is probably one of those people who doesn't look anyone in the eye.
I don't know what it is, but those are the kinds of people I can't trust...
You answered you own question, you think she is attractive.
Oh, and there is no such thing as sin.
ROFLMAO, now THIS is repressed! Yes Mirage5, if you like looking at pictures of attractive women, and you find them more compelling than say, pictures of mailboxes or pictures of shipping barges, that is called sexual desire (=lust). It is not very complicated.
What pisses me off most is the term "picture photos" it's a picture or a photo, you sexually repressed moron, not both! Now for the love of your God, jerk off before your balls explode.
Matthew 18:9 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire.
I've got a lovely icepick that should do the job. Feel free to borrow it at any time.

Ok, so you are gay, no problem!
"What would it be?"
Uh, normal.
What's so confusing about admiring a beautiful person? You'd think that if one were the type of person who believed that their god made everything, and made a few of everything to be particularly enjoyable to look at, that one wouldn't consider it sinful to gaze upon said beauty. But that's just me.
It reminds me of an Italian guy I once knew, who said "When I see a beautiful woman, I believe in god."
It's a photo of an attractive woman, a perfectly human response is to want to see more; it's what keeps the species going, y'know, that sex thing you guys are so hung up on avoiding? Let go of your indoctrination honey, enjoy your life!
Ok, I'm pretty sure looking at the first picture probably isn't particularly wrong, but when you continue to look at additional ones, is that sinning?
Only for Christians. Normal people can look at pictures of an attractive woman without sliding into some sort of sexual K-hole. Seriously, you need some counselling about your dysfunction.
"Now, honey, I know you probably think that I have a sexual desire for that woman, just because I was staring at her ass. But the truth is, I just find it to be aesthetically pleasing. No, really..."
No, I don't believe in "sin". I think you are appreciating her attractiveness. Some people like looking at paintings, some at glass or china figurines, some like jewlery. You like looking at women. So what?
Get over yourself already!

Confused?
