And if so being fully man and all...doesn't that mean that he at least one time in his life looked at someone and got a little aroused?

So then that means he by accounts of scripture sinned in his mind?

So you are saying that being attracted to the opposite sex is a sin? What a bizarre thought? It is being attracted to the same sex that isn't natural....or if it is natural and evolution has its way, will not continue to the next generation.
Oh, BTW, sex is not equal to love. Giving your life for someone is. So Jesus was the best lover and the women just let Him walk on by because they thought they were looking for something else.

The bible said that Jesus, as a boy, grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men (Luke 2:52). We can only speculate how the Jewish society during Jesus' lifetime give favor eye to someone in puberty. Getting arouse may be looked at as normal for men but would be embarrassing for women. So I guess, Jesus would at least not give in to his "humanness" and just look the other way and ask His Father in heaven to forgive the weakness of His body. The bible also said that Jesus was without sin.

It clearly tells us in the bible that Jesus was the only man to walk the earth and never sin. Jesus went through everything a normal male went through. Jesus was tempted by Satan himself but did not give in. Jesus knew the cost. That's why he had to die for us.

Yes, puberty is a normal part of any human's growth. Jesus, being human, went through the biological period of a young person's life we call, puberty.
As to the second part of your question, it's clearly answered in the Book of Hebrews 4:14-15, where Jesus (called here the great "High Priest," is described as follows:
"Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin."
This is CRUCIAL to the Christian faith for several reasons:
1. Jesus, the great High Priest: a reference to the Old Testament Temple role of High Priest, the man who, only after going through a very detailed series of rituals to make temporary atonement for himself, was the only one allowed to approach the "Holy of Holies," the place in the Temple where the presence of God dwelled. The High Priest entered there only once a year to make atonement for the sins of the nation of Israel.
2. Jesus, our High Priest, has passed through the heavens. That is, He doesn't just approach the presence of God, Jesus is now "seated at the right hand of God" where He evermore lives to make atonement (or propitiation) for our sins.
3. Jesus, having Himself been a man, underdtands what it is to be tempted. It is not a sin to be tempted. It is a sin to fall to temptation. Think of the story of the "woman caught in the act of adultery....in the very act!" the Bible says. More than likely, they brought her naked to the Lord as they dragged her (but not the man, you note) to Jesus to hear how He might judge her. So, there's Jesus, a normal, healthy male, standing in front of a nude or nearly nude woman whom we can assume was attractive enough for SOME man to sexually attractive enough to her to be commiting adultery. Yet, as Hebrews says, Jesus was not tempted.
Me? I confess that, in my weakness, I probably would have oogled her, at least a little. But not Jesus. He already sees us for what and who we really are: poor, wretched, dying creatures lost in our sins and headed for hell, but for the salvation He gives us on the cross.
Think also of the temptation Jesus received directly from Satan in the 40-day fast in the desert.
So, this leads to...
4. :... let us hold fast our confession..."
These only serve to make it clear that Jesus was no ordinary man, but a man He certainly was. He proved his humanity by shedding blood when crucified, and by dying when His time on this earth had ended. He then proved His divinity by raising Himself up from the grave, as the grave is only for the sinner. He also proved His love - Jesus took our sins with Him to the grave to pay the debt, then, debt paid, rose to eternal life that we, the sheep of His flock, can follow our Good Shepherd to heaven when our lives on this earth are over.
Hallelujah! I confess that Jesus is Lord to the Glory of the Father! Amen!

Yes, but he didn't sin. Martin Luther said, "You can't stop the birds from flying over your head, but you can stop them from building a nest".

He didn't go through puberty; Jesus had some sort of hormone problem.

Of course it does. It's simply human. And there's nothing wrong with it at all!
If god didn't want us to see attractive people and react to them, he would have made us all blind.
Hell, my boyfriend is blind and he still reacts to attractive women.
