I think this verse will inspire you. The reason being, that when we submit to fantasy and lust, our minds aren't on the Lord.
Philippians 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
One way to improve self-control is to remove everything that causes lack of it.
Read in Proverbs for wisdom. Titus 1:15 and Genesis 38:6-10 for resolve to honor the Lord with your body. Paul taught that if we struggle with singleness, to consider marriage.
My understanding is that Jesus said that if you lust in your heart, you have committed sexual sin. Matthew 5:27. So, yes, I would say it is sin as Jesus calls it such.

I hope this helps.
