Ok. He died at the age of 33, if you believe. He was also a jew. Jewish men are married at an early age. He wouldnt have been a good jew, especially at the time in question, if he wasnt married. Some people believe he WAS married to Mary Magdelene, hence the books.
If he WASNT married, could we assume that he had "other" interests?

Jesus, the Son of God, took on the limitations of man, and walked on the face of this earth. He grew up like any little Jewish boy. The Bible says that he grew in statue and wisdom. Jesus didn't marry and he still was a good Jew. He came to earth with a mission. His focus was always on this mission (The Cross). He came to save the lost. That was his interest. Praise God for loving us so much.

Jesus died on April 16, 33 AD, at the age 33 years old.
Jesus was not a Jew, His Mother and Father where Jews, Jesus born into a Jewish community and of Jewish parents, But, Jesus preached not as a Jew, or a scribe, but as the Son of God the Father.
It was the traditions of men that said a man should have a wife, but Jesus overcame the traditions of men and did the will of His Father in heaven, (thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven)
Jesus told us that there is no marrying or being given in marriage in heaven, for we are like angels.
Jesus also told us the story of the eunuchs and said let them that can receive it, receive it.
Jesus also told us about Lust, and never said a married woman or man he said to Lust after a woman is adultery.
Adultery to whom ? We as Jesus do not need sex to love someone. To love someone has nothing to do with sex.
We have been promised in marriage to God the Father's Son, we chose Jesus as our bridegroom, wherefore do we choose one and lust for another.

Where does it say that Jewish men had to be married at an early age? It is believed that Joseph was near middle age when he married Mary.

Jesus wasn't a good Jew by a lot of standards in his time. If Jesus did not marry it would not be reasonable to assume that he had "other" interest in the way that you mean it.
He did in fact have other interest then marriage and that was fulfilling God's will.

No, Jesus fathered "spiritual" children like me. Jesus was consumed with His work as the Messiah. He would not allow himself the comfort of a marriage because He was totally focused on the leading of His heavenly Father.

Far too many presume all kinds of things about Jesus and they get whackier every day,I prefer to stick with the truth of the Gospels myself, pity how even now Jesus is still persecuted.

A person's sexuality doesn't matter at all. What matters is how they live their life. Have you ever considered that some people don't put sex at the top of their interests? There are other and more important, and yes, enjoyable things to life.
Does Jesus want to know what your sexuality is? And does it really matter? Does he even care?
Bon voyage!

Jesus was a man. He had more important things to think about than sex.
The Davinci Code was a work of fiction, not a scholarly tome.

One who relish pure love of God in his heart and is immersed in that ocean of bliss, has no absolute attraction for inferior pleasure like material pale mundane sex life.
Thank you.

He had other interests alright, God and God alone. He preached that people should forsake all earthly things for the sake of worshipping God.
He was likely asexual.
