frankly, i don`t care,he was part human, BUT part GOD -i love him, EVEN if he was human at times. so what if he was married . as, some wants to think, he was part human ,with our needs, but he also was HOLY , sex is holy , if married- i don`t know the real truth about JESUS & his status, but i do BELIEVE he was GOD in flesh, why do people insist that he should above mortal needs ,when he was born human& GOD. i LOVE my JESUS, why do people want to condemn him so bad?

Because religions use sex as a tool to gain converts. Sex is a natural act, and lust is a natural feeling. It isn't a bad thing. However, it causes interactions between two people (or more) which can be embarrassing. Therefore, society has made many rules about sexual interaction.
Religions take advantage of this by making their own rules. They have found that if you can make a person feel bad about their sexual feelings, you can get them into church by offering to absolve those "sins". Basically, they make themselves out as the cure for the guilt they create.
One way Christianity does this is to hold Jesus up as a paragon of sinlessness. There really isn't anything known about Jesus, including whether he actually existed or not. More than likely, he was just another "prophet" promoting his view. It wasn't until decades after his death that anybody wrote anything about him. And it wasn't until a few hundred years after his death that people got together and put forth the official canon, basically trying to get their story straight. As such, they had to include in their tenets how "pure" Jesus was in order to further this myth that the church can somehow heal the "sin" of lust.
In reality, you're right. The actual Jesus, if he existed, lusted as much as the next guy. All humans do, unless they're seriously unbalanced mentally. However, the legendary Jesus of the Bible could not have sinned, because it wouldn't have fit the story.

Chastity is a sign of high spiritualism.
Provided Jesus is the founder of a highly spritual religion, he is said to have been pure and to have never touched a woman, as the Evangelists say...
I believe that he experienced lust like all human beens but was not there to know whether he has satisfied this need.

Religion is such a powerfull tool......
Polititians will use it to brainwash people and a lot of it will revolve around the most natural feeling a human being can experience.
Experiencing lust, having the need for sex is natural and people have turned it into one of the dirtiest things one can do.

On what basis should we admit Jesus experienced lust?
He himself never said so. And who are we christians to admit on his behalf?
It is not about arrogance or denial. It is just wrong to put words into other's mouth. And in this case, God's.

sex is the most human and natural thing in this world! we are made to believe it is not by the controllers of the church if we admit that Jesus experienced lust to the church it would make him less divine i think it makes him more human and so more divine and understanding like the bible says god created man in his own image....

We aint afraid ther just is nothing documented that says he did ave lustful feelings. He could of, I mean he was a man in the flesh, he experienced Hunger and fatigue like anyonelse. but there still is nothing documented about him being lustful, and there is prety much documentation of everything else.

Even if Jesus as a man ever experienced a feeling of physical attraction toward any particular women, He certainly never acted on such feelings.

I'm not afraid to admit that. The Bible says so pretty plainly.
Hebrews 4:15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin.
It says He was tempted in every way. Lust is a temptation.

Jesus was a mortal man he experienced everything else a normal human does.....most people dont want to beleive this because it disprooves anything theyve ever believed in.
