Is one held accountable for thinking about sexual matters, watching naked dancers, and imagining the dancing, or not?

Mere self-talk and thoughts are not held against a person, as long as they do not lead to a verbal statement or an action. However, one should not dwell on them excessively, as they can be a means to sin. A Muslim should occupy themselves with what benefits them in their religion and their worldly life, for health and leisure are two blessings in which many people are deceived. And whoever obeys Allah throughout their life will wish for more. We advise being keen on goodness, associating with righteous women, and avoiding mixing with immoral women.
