Some parts are to be taken literal some are to be taken metaphoriclly usually you can tell the diffenence by the context in which its used. Like when jesus said " I have come to save the world" world means the people. When paul says " do not comform to the world" he means the world system. What jesus says here is pretty plain and easy to understand. Dont over complexify it. (yeah thats a word) You should not look on a woman to lust after her. I think this is a good idea wheather jesus said it or not. peace.
You may read what you like into it. I'm just saying the meaning you get from it probably wasn't the intended meaning. And I would hope a Christian would be careful to know the true meaning of Matt 5:28 because it's really the only verse in the entire Bible that Christians use to come up with all of this strange and unnatural averting the eyes business (some might appeal to Job 31, but that was really about not looking at a certain pagan idol).
