<<*Having* a thought can't be an aveira, because it's involuntary, but
*consciously entertaining* it can be one, and often is.  That would certainly
require teshuvah. >>

The famous Ibn Ezra on "lo tachmod" seems to disagree. He gives the example
that no one would dream of marrying a princess (at least in pre-Disney days
-) ). So one can train oneself not to have evil thoughts
