The New Testament doesn't tell us He plucked out His eyes like He told others to do to avoid the sin of lust.

Well, first of all, I'd have to let you know that even though Jesus was >like< a real man, he wasn't man. Keep in mind he was born of a virgin, and that is a component for being human. Jesus WAS God. Jesus didn't have an earthly father, God was Jesus's father which kept him from being like any earthly man- keeping him away from temptations and sins.
Besides, even though Jesus was tempted keep in mind that the Bible does state that the act of thought is just as bad as doing it. The Bible states adultry is a sin and it is evident that lust is a form of adultry and Jesus was free from sin- therefore neither did he do it, but he didn't think it as well.

He was the only sinless person who ever lived. Obviously then He never lusted after a woman.
Did you really care to know the truth anyway? Perhaps you are like others who just have nothing to do with their time that is worthwhile or is beneficial in helping others.
Have you plucked your eyes out?

I'm sure he did feel what we feel, since the Book of Hebrews says that he was tempted in every-way that we are.
Just to clarify, it is not the sin of "lust" just to have certain feelings; lust is intentionally dwelling on these thoughts until they become a full blown fantasy.

He may have been tempted, but never had lustful thoughts. The presence of sinful thoughts is as bad as committing the act. Jesus was pure of mind and deed.

I know the Bible says he never sinned. And it also says that lusting after a woman is the same as committing adultery. So if you believe the Bible, it would have to be no.

He was a Jewish Rabbi. He had to have thoughts of lust, love, worship, sympathy, etc. It would have been normal for him to find women desireable for if he did not he would not have been a true man.
Mary Magdeline adored him and he had to have some kind of lustfull love for her. It just makes sense.

No, he was free from sin...so He didn't lust, cheat, gossip, steal, etc. He accomplished this because He was 100% God...

Nope he didn't have lust.
Because he was basically God in the flesh and he was a Holy man. And it was a sin and Jesus never sinned against God.
