I'm assuming Jesus went through puberty...so in so doing wouldn't it be understandable to believe he lusted after a woman...I mean tell me what boy going through it hasn't? It is partly biological, and if he was all man as well as god...wouldn't that be a correct assumption?

Of course. Most Jewish men got married pretty young too - there would be no reason at all not to.

The Gospel writers thought there were a lot more important things to write about than sex, despite the thinking of some modern Christians. We actually do not know whether Jesus married or not, although being addressed as Rabbi would have presumed his marriage according to Jewish custom of his time. Lust is a sin, but ordinary sexual maturity and the feelings which go with it are not sinful in and of themselves. If Jesus was tempted in every way as we are yet did not sin He knew these feelings and if He acted upon them did so appropriately.

Physiologically yes, he went through puberty, but the lust you associate with puberty is more correctly associated with the sin nature that is in all humans. Case in point: didn't you lust after your sexy school teacher in grade 4 or 5? That was before puberty.
What made Jesus different (and this is why he had to be virgin born) is that he was not born with a sin nature like the rest of us. Apparently the sin nature is passed down from fathers not mothers.

Hi
"Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. 15For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin."
God is telling us in this passage that while we are all sinners, there is One who did not sin, that One is the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Bible says that Jesus was tempted in all things, but did not give in to His temptations. He was the only man who never sinned. He was able to do this because He was fully man and fully God. He allowed Himself to be tempted so that He could feel and understand our feelings, sufferings, and trials.

Jesus Christ was tempted by the devil and overcame temptation to remain perfect and pay the penalty of death for you.

of course, jesus was just a guy!
lust is not a sin, it's a natural part of being a human being!
anybody who tells you otherwise is simply close-minded or uninformed. or maybe asexual...hahah
