Naw, see the work of Dr. Helen Fisher on different ways we experience love, romantic love & sexuality. You can totally love somone and have a brief sexual thought about another -- and brief sexual thoughts seem pretty common from my talks with other people. But perhaps this is not a kind thing to mention to a partner. After all, unless you have a kink around these things, most people don't really want to hear that their partner experiences sexual thoughts towards others? Having a brief sexual thought about another is not a horrible thing, it's just a human thing.

It came up and she inquired, and I have this thing where I insist on not lying to her or withholding things from her. So we ended up talking about it.
