According to other gospels ( not the four "official" ones "reorganized" by the church), Jesus was married to a woman and had children. As long as you are human you are to have sexual feelings.

Jesus was GOD he could not sin he is part of the Blessed Trinity God The Father, The SON (Jesus ) & the Holy Spirit.
If you have thoughts they are not sinful in my opinion unless you persue them and take pleasure in them. You have a FREE will God gave you that so you can choose to keep thinking adulterous thoughts or make your mind go to another subject.If you try hard to get rid of these thoughts I do not think this is a sin.
My God Bless you stay busy no time for bad thoughts,and pray to Jesus to help you He always comes through.
Out of tradgedy comes goodness do you know there were no abortions the days after 9/11 (Or very few ! )

Jesus never once allowed a sinful thought to stay in His mind. Satan may have tried to place those thoughts there but He never allowed them to remain.
2 Corinthians 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exaleth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.
Through God's word we have the ability as children of God to control our thoughts and cast evil ones out.
Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind,that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
God expects us to bring our thoughts under control by spending our time in His word and prayer. Whatever enters the eyes or ears form the thoughts that we think and obey.

The bible says that Jesus was tempted in all ways as we are and yet was without sin. That would mean he was tempted sexually as well. No one can prevent a thought from entering their mind and having a single thought is not a sin, however we can choose not to dwell on such thoughts and not to put ourselves in a compromising position when it comes to such temptations. Dwelling on such thoughts is where sin comes in.

You are looking for Matthew 5:28. It says ""Whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart". No, Jesus never had sexual thoughts.He had no sin in his life whatsoever.

There is a difference between thinking and acting. As long as there is the conscience there to distinguish right from wrong, then a person would not act on it, and therefore prevents the sin. So no, thinking about it but not acting is not the same as acting.

It's not the same, and that is not what Jesus was saying.
He was saying if we are entertaining thoughts of adultery, or any other serious sin, if we ever find ourselves in a position to commit that sin, we will because we have it in our heart.
The thought is not a sin, acting on it is.

The Bible says that Jesus was tempted - note the word - TEMPTED - in EVERY way as we are, yet never sinned.
Being tempted is NOT sin. Jesus resisted temptation by quoting God's Word, "It is written" to satan, the ultimate temptor.
There are only three basic TYPES or categories of sin, "lusts of the flesh, lusts of the eyes, and the pride of life", and in all three, satan tempted Jesus with far worse temptation than you or I have ever faced.

According to the Bible, yes. They're the same.
So if you have adulterous thoughts, you may as well go ahead and act on them. It's not going to make things any worse.
