Many who follow Seth or Elias talk of thought creating reality, and Seth, I believe, spoke of one prime reason for being incarnate was to learn to control your thoughts and creative power. I am not sure of the authenticity of some of the Seth/Elias stuff, however the philosophy is a cogent one, so I take from it what makes sense.
I would not worry about wandering thoughts, because (now here is the kicker) you have wandering thoughts right here on earth. And guess what? They all don't enter into our reality. Wish fulfillment is not common. Ok, if not, why not? Herein lies the answer, grasshopper. If you delve into the power of your own mind, you will find that it is not our whims which translate into the real world, it is our deepest held thoughts, and our strongest beliefs. The subconscious is shared with the universe. In order to impress something onto it, and see it come to pass, here in the real world it needs to enter into our consciousness as a belief. Thus, our deepest desires and dreams may come true if we believe in them, as well as our deepest fears, if we dwell on them long enough.
Kathy, on this board has talked of "cross-purpose" thoughts. We say "I want to get a promotion at work." At the same time we think "I'm always passed over, and it just won't happen for me." The first thought never impresses on the subconscious, as the second gives the opposite force. This, can be seen by any who examine their deepest thoughts and motivations in the real world, or who meditate on making a positive change in their lives, usually right before going to sleep, when the subconscious is most impressionable.
I see no reason why our creative process would be different in the afterlife. We may not be in a physical plane, however, our deepest thoughts and beliefs translate readily, whereas, I would imagine fleeting thoughts would not. This is how people place themselves in "hells." Voluntarily by like finding like (birds of a feather). This is why Don's example of a serial rapist trying to "fool" his way into heaven can never work. Or a homicide bomber. The mindset of the rapist is such that his deepest beliefs of harm and disregard for others can not be put aside.
Also, to get back to your initial question, I see no reason why we may not find attraction on a different plane. How we define this attraction may be the same or different. However, when we meet someone and it feels right, we just know it, and follow it.
Is it possible that ascending in vibration and thought, we would not engage in sexual attraction, losing the dualistic nature of physical world which is all an illusion? Possibly. However, an intelligent advanced soul may still say "I understand my nature as one with everything, yet that etheric lady over there sure does have a great pair of legs!" And so it goes on...
