Is this a sin?

[Angela77]

You know how in magazines there are lots of pictures of people in bathing suits? Is it wrong to look at these? As a side note, when I see these pictures, I’m not thinking anything sexual; it’s just more like, “He’s handsome.”

No, I don’t think so. If you ‘fantisized things’ then yes but making a nonlustful statement is ok. I mean it’s only natural. Girls like guys and guys like girls.

Why are you even reading magazines?

Errm, I’m a man, so I don’t know how women thinks.
But according to this thread;
Is arousal without impure thoughts and actions or pornographic stimuli a sin?

“Involuntary arousal is never a sin. Even voluntary arousal is not a sin for married people.
For a sin to be mortal, the act must be objectively sinful, the person must know that it is sinful and he must freely choose to sin.”
