I think it was Dr. Phil that said something along the lines of, "If the sex is good, it's only 10% of the marriage, but if it's bad, it's 90%."

I agree that we are drawn away by our "own" lust, however, I believe you could be in a marriage with a healthy sex life and still be drawn away by a strong attraction. That is still by our "own" lust, but not because the sex life was not good.
