While marriage was indeed the normal course for a Jewish man, let's remember that Jesus was anything but normal. The nature of His existence and His mission on earth would seem to preclude marriage or family for Him. He Himself made the case that marriage was appropriate for some and not for others, according to the gift and calling of God.
Children born to Him would have been problematic, He being a true God-man (Yes, I believe that one of Mary's eggs was fertilized supernaturally by the Spirit of God. No, there's nothing salacious about that.). Children would have also compromised His position of the last king of the lineage of David.
Surely He knew sexual temptation, among all the others He overcame, but the occasion of it is never revealed.
There's just no good reason to imagine Jesus as anything but celibate, other than to write sensationalistic best-sellers and take swipes at His Divine nature.
No there is not anything inherently sinful or dirty about sex and sexuality. It is seen in Scripture as a gift and creation of God. It is the misuse if it in rebellion to God's design which is sinful. Within marriage, the enjoyment of it is all but commanded, and not just in the context of procreation.

Dude noone really knows. Everyone has their own agenda when it comes to Jesus.....i mean look at this place.
I feel sorry for Jesus bcs it somehow seems when it comes to mankind God kinda failed and maybe if he intervened would it get better?
Another Jesus to die on the cross again? Lets face it nobody got it first time round did they
Naw i dont believe he died a virgin....in those days only the mother and the wife were allowed to go to the tomb. If you check out who went there you will realise a lot of little white lies have been told.
Still watch your mouth a little bit though

Jesus died a virgin because back in those days if you were not married and had sexual relations you were a sinner and How could Jesus be a sinner when he was the ideal male- Everyone was looking to him for forgiveness and hoping that he would convince God to take their souls to heaven- If Jesus were to been married- then maybe he could have seen the sexual ways of life-- Remember I am not of the belief that there is Jesus or God but I believe that there is something bigger than us.

Jesus was a perfect man, so he would not have suffered from premature ejaculation. The fact is, that if he would have had children, they would have been perfect. The father is considered the lifegiver. This is also why Adam and Eve did not produce perfect children. If they would have produced children before they sinned, there would have been perfect people on earth. Since Adam gave up perfection for himself and his offspring, God immediately put in place the ransom arrangement. The first prophecy is recorded at Genesis 3:15. Jesus paid what Adam lost. Since he paid that ransom price for us, he is our father.

Jesus died a virgin because He was without sin. Unlike some people, who will wake up dead one day and realize it is too late to ask for forgiveness for being foolish and making mockery of the only One who could provide them with their own salvation.

The historical Jesus did not die a virgin. He fathered a family. Research it.

Hmm... I don't necessarily think Jesus was a virgin. On the other hand, I do think you are asking this question to get a rise from the Christians.

Very cool, man. When did you think that up? But poor Jesus, being a premature ejaculator is a curse.
