Nobody does an aveira because they can’t control themselves its just that its very hard and we give in to our nisyonos. Hashem did not require anything of us that is impossible. Just difficult and against our physical side. It is our job to use our logical side to overpower the physical drives that we have. When we don’t we basically act like animals who are focused on physicality. I’m a man and I can’t say I can ever understand the womans yetzer hora, however logically it makes no sense to me why a married woman would walk down the street looking like she wants every man to feast his eyes on her. If Hashem blesses you with physical beauty (even if you are a man) it is for your spouse not to act like a piece of meat and to get people to desire you. I will never understand this nesayon but any woman with half a brain in her head even if she isn’t Jewish should understand that if you want people to like you the person you are inside then accentuate that aspect of yourself. If you want people to desire your body then you accentuate that aspect. If you accentuate your physical beauty too much it sends tbe message that you are empty inside and all you are is an object. Why would anyone do that? I don’t get it. If you are married you shouldn’t think ot other men. Other men should not exist for you. If you still get a kick out of men staring at you in the street you aren’t healthy emotionally or spiritually and I can’t imagine that you can have marital bliss if you care about the approval of male strangers on the street.
