Is it possible for the Saints to be spiteful and look unfavorable upon those that implore them?

If I had to boil it down, this is a battle you will not win without 1) fasting and 2) an unyielding resolution to root lust out forever, no matter the cost. Flight, not fight.

If thy right eye is the occasion of thy falling into sin, pluck it out and cast it away from thee; better to lose one part of thy body than to have the whole cast into hell. And if thy right hand is an occasion of falling, cut it off and cast it away from thee; better to lose one of thy limbs than to have thy whole body cast into hell. (Mt 5:29-30)

Our Lord used such graphic language to illustrate the severity of the battle of the flesh. This isn't "oh well, win some lose some, at least we tried." If you do not stop you could easily end up in literal hell.
