I'll buy the suggestion that its written partly about being away from home. I think its pretty clearly about a guy who is looking around at other girls and acknowledging his body's urges, but mentally wants to stay true to his girl.
If you want to read too much into it, how about the fact that the music (2 overlapping themes) reflects his opposing urges?
And yes, in the end he deals with it by beatin' it.
