Sorry...need to be PC...or men, but you know the comments will fly about the whole gay thing in the Bible..so I will just stick mostly with women.

Sorry, forgot to add this...if he did...wouldn't that be lust? and a sin?

I think he grew up just like any normal boy. I am sure he had nocturnal omissions. Beyond that would just be conjecture.
Peace and blessings!

It would help to start explaining by giving an example of an actual story from the Bible. Remember when Jesus was a young boy, he disobeyed his parents, ran away from his home and went to the temple. Then if you notice the Bible leaves out a large chunk of Jesus' life out. I don't believe that Jesus never sinned for the reason that he WAS a man. Part of being man is fallability. The Bible tells us not to sin but it also says that if you do, God is ready and willing to forgive them if you repent and are truly sorry and I believe that's what happened with Jesus.

I am a former Christian, and I would answer in the Christian point of view.
Its actually the Calvinist point of view. In Calvinism, man (Calvinists do not believe in PC) was created in the image of God, but through Adam's sinning, the human nature became "dead in sin", it became imperfect and was departed from the nature of God, who is perfect. Thus, man bacame lustful, greedy, selfish, hateful of God and everything that is Godly. (All this talk you could see smattered in the Bible, but there is a good concentration in the Psalms and the Epistles of Paul.) But Christ was called the "the new man" or the "new Adam" in that, he is 100% human, but is an image of the original human, the one that was the image of God the father himself, the Adam before the fall. So, though temptations came, he did not lust, for lusting was a sin. The Bible says that thinking of a woman lustfully (fantasizing about her, perhaps while jerking off) was equivalent to committing the sin of adultery with her. The Bible explicitly shows how he was tempted by Satan yet he sinned not; the Bible says Jesus was perfect and so did not sin. Christ was the perfect man, he sinned not and simply obeyed the will of his heavenly father. In Christianity, we are called to walk in the way of Christ, not lusting or anything.
But I cannot imagine being tempted to lust and not lust.. That's like thinking not to think.. ("I don't want to think, I don't want to think, I don't want to think!") Hehe.. I cannot believe I had written what I read above.

He most likely did fantsize a bit...however, the people of his day were not anywhere near as hung up on sex as we Americans are today. Everything has to have a sexual connotation it seems...even the damn commerical (for Beano) about the muffin man and hiding in the closet!
However, fantasizing is not sin....it's giving in to that lust and entering into an illicit sexual union that is sinful. Beyond that, I'm sure he had incredible self-control and offered even that to the Father for his glory. It meant that in his humanity he could be thankful for the sight of a pretty woman.

He was without sin and never gave into temptation. The Bible says He was tempted in all sin. If He had given in then He would not have become the perfect sacrifice as the Lamb of God.

Men wrote the bible, and lo, they make god a man. What a joke. What would you expect men to do, make the creator a woman. Ridiculous. Next thing you know, women would be creating children. Not possible.

Bacause he knew how to control it and He was awfully busy spreading the word of the one God. Lust has a special purpose in the procreation process and should not be seen as entirely evil. It is when you act on it uncontrolably and without a good pretext that it becomes a sin.

Jesus was tempted like we are but he didn`t sin.He was tempted forty days and nights by satan and he didn`t sin.He came to save us and he had to be the perfect lamb to the slaughter,as white as snow ,so there wouldn`t ever be a need to sacrifice anything again.They always sacrificed an animal that was flawless.

Jesus was a man and had all the feelings that men experience. God inside of him gave him strength to overcome the world and its desires. The Bible abhors homosexuality and so did Jesus. He loved the sinner but not the sin. Maybe you should read your Bible and give your life to Christ so you may gain better understanding.

Well traditional view is he is above temptation. So he would grow from boy to man but not have the same lust that we get. Though you could hyposolate that he did get these thoughts and learned to get away from them bringing him even closer to his divinity. I will be interested to read the other answers.
