i got alot of answers to my last question but this particular portion of the question seemed to be avoided.
and if so, was it ok if he entertained those thoughts?or at 17 was he able to just transfer the thoughts to "the wind blowing"?
i dont mean to be nasty...i just really wonder about it.
it certainly to me seems like jesus has been misrepresented. i mean, what about all those years of his life not accounted for in the bible...
things dont seem to add up.eh...

Of course he did. But then again I am a muslim. We believe in the virgin birth the miracles and the divine origin of Jesus. We believe he was sinless and will return on the Day of Judgement but there is no reason to think he didn't get erections. I mean he ate ,slept and used the bathroom. Why would he not have sexual urges ?
Many Christians will probably tel you that sex is a sin and he could not have had the urge to do sin. That directly contradicts the Bible though because the Bible says that he was tempted by the devil in the wilderness and also states that he begged God in the garden of Gethsemaner to spare him crucifixion. He made statements eslewhere in the Bible like"not my will but Thine be done" which suggest or rather they state outright that Jesus will did not always match with what God wanted. So even if God OBJECTS to sex there is no reasin, in my mind to believe that Jesus did not WANT sex. I do believe he abstained from it though.
I hope this answers your question .
PEACE

Well, first if he existed as the son of god then why would he? He was put on this earth to be the sacrifice to save mankind from their sins, so it doesn't seem right that he would participate in those things that are purely human. He was 'above' human behavior. He may have understood and appreciated the beauty or sexual allure of others but to give into those base desires would lower him. But then again maybe he did. Perhaps that's why so much of his life is unaccounted for. Maybe he found out his purpose was to die for all mankind and rebelled and indulged in all that was human. Perhaps that indulgence was what allowed him to accept his fate, because, he was able to experience what it meant to be human. Those experiences could be anything from fighting to sex, but by seeing them firsthand he figured humans were worth saving.
I've never thought about this, it's a good question.

A God should not have sexual desires. Even a God that transform itself looking like a man should not have sexual human desires because we are talking about a God here.
A God has no sexual desires, if a God has sexual desires then it is not a God because sexual desires are caused by hormones and also the purpose is for mating and breeding.
A God does not breed to reproduce.
A God is always a God even if he looks like in human form or any other form or in any body. Believers are funny because they have a narrow mind and would say a God was born into a true man so he has desires of anything and even have emotions since God is now living as a man and can bleed to death.
You see how believers think and reason? Go figure as to why believers have such way of thought. Very strange even if they have college degrees even law degrees.

Yes Jesus was fully human while still being God. Since He was born with out sin He was able to control His desires and do His Fathers will for His life.

Although he was totally human he was totally pure and divine at the same time. It is probably possible that he didn't. Whatever he felt he did without sinning. His thoughts were pure. Good question though!

Honestly. What a ridiculous question. Who knows? What he did in hid lost years? Does it really matter? He died a horrible death on the cross for your *** and that's the kind of info that you really need to know about? Too many reality TV shows. Jesus knows your heart. Hope it is worthy.

Was there testosterone in his body?
If the answer is yes, than he most certainly felt sexual desire.
