One must not surrender to lustful thoughts and whisperings, especially if they are forbidden and lead to desire, for this is considered a form of zina (fornication/adultery), as stated in the : "The heart yearns and desires, and the private parts either confirm or deny that." One should occupy oneself with what benefits in matters of religion and worldly life, and utilize the blessing of the intellect in what pleases Allah, for Allah will question about this blessing. As for what exits in this situation, it is most likely madhy (pre-seminal fluid), and one should refer to no. 32023 for the difference between madhy and maniy (seminal fluid).
