Its a lifelong battle between the flesh and the spirit.
Romans 8:5-14 — Those who are dominated by the sinful nature think about sinful things, but those who are controlled by the Holy Spirit think about things that please the Spirit. So letting your sinful nature control your mind leads to death. But letting the Spirit control your mind leads to life and peace. For the sinful nature is always hostile to God. It never did obey God’s laws, and it never will. That’s why those who are still under the control of their sinful nature can never please God. But you are not controlled by your sinful nature. You are controlled by the Spirit if you have the Spirit of God living in you. (And remember that those who do not have the Spirit of Christ living in them do not belong to him at all.) And Christ lives within you, so even though your body will die because of sin, the Spirit gives you life because you have been made right with God. The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you. Therefore, dear brothers and sisters, you have no obligation to do what your sinful nature urges you to do. For if you live by its dictates, you will die. But if through the power of the Spirit you put to death the deeds of your sinful nature, you will live. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God.
For me personally..? Not one bit. Holy crap, not cheating on people has always been just the easiest thing, ever!! For me..? It's rather been a battle between being a hopeless, sappy romantic, who REALLY wants to find love and a soulmate, and the fact that I also just so happen to be mostly asexual. So finding love has been very hard, because of that. Because I used to think, for so long, that I was just "broken", and not good enough, and no one would ever want to choose me as their life partner. Due to the fact that sex is such an important part of a relationship, to most normally sexual people. But then..? I found the love of my life! Who is THE sweetest, kindest, warmest, loveliest, beautifullest ever person! Who loves me, and wants me, and utterly adores me, exactly as I am! And wants ALL the same things in a relationship as I do! Including the DEEPEST soul connection, ALL the emotional intimacy, ALL the sappy romantic stuff, and LOTS of kisses and cuddles! And the fact that I'm mostly asexual..? Does not really matter to him, as long as we have that! He is SO loyal, and SO devoted, and I 100% know that he's not interested in anyone else! Just me. He just wants to love me, and do life with me, forever! Which, I want the EXACT same thing with him!! And holy crap, I wouldn't cheat on him in a million years! And obviously feel NO desire to. That's the GOOD part of being a hopelessly romantic, chronically monogamous ace spectrum person, I guess. We be VERY unlikely to cheat. ;)
In the subject of sex no. Maybe for men as they have higher sex drives but in general should be more than that in life. Hobbies, experiences, travel etc

Love and lust are synonyms.

Life is more like a celebration
of love and lust.
Perhaps you have heard of the expression,
"a lust for life".

Sure, but if you don't convert, your fight will end in hell!
Between good and evil. Or man's way or God's way.
It is more of a battle between fullness and emptiness.
I would say basically.

I would say “no”.
