Okay guys, lets admit it, this is a hard one. Especially in our era when woman are objectified, and objectify themselves so much. Men have had an issue with this since almost our first parents. Now I must make a distinction. You see a woman who is very beautiful, she is in an elegant dress and is all done up. You feel the desire to linger a moment looking at her....Is this what Jesus was talking about. That depends. What are you thinking about when you look at her? If you are thinking ,"That is a very beautiful woman." Then I feel that that is not lust. If you are thinking ,"Wow, I wonder what she would look like with less on." That is lust. 
There is no problem with recognizing beauty, whether in art, nature, or in those other human beings on this planet. The difference is where do the thoughts go. Do you feel as if you are looking at a piece of art, or are you looking at them in a sexual nature. 
Now, you need to remember something. We are wired to look for the most fit mate. As such when you see a member of the opposite sex, who you body says would be a suitable mate, you are going to feel something. It is unavoidable. The question is, do you let those thoughts and feelings stir within you. Do you notice that Christ did not say that whosoever looketh on a woman and feels lust. He said "to lust" indicating intentional looking for the purpose of arousing those feelings.
This scripture is about pornography. And as Elder Oaks of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles said,"young women, please understand that if you dress immodestly, you are magnifying this problem by becoming pornography to some of the men who see you." Thus a woman does not have to be naked for it to be pornography. Any thing you look at for the purpose of lusting, is pornography. 
Pornography is void of love or respect. Thus this can even refer to your interactions with your spouse. If those interactions are void of love or respect of them, then they have also become pornography, and its not their fault at all. It is the responsibility of each person to dress appropriate for the occasion, and to think appropriately for the occasion.
Now in closing I wish to remind the woman that you are just as prone to this. Elder Oaks indicated "Pornographic or erotic stories" are just as bad. This included many of the romance novels you all love so much. Many of which are just as bad as any pornographic magazine. It might not be visual, but it in acts the same chemical reactions.
