Jesus Christ and sexuality

Jesus Christ and sexuality

According to mainstream Christian theology, it is through Jesus that God understands what it is to be a human. God understands us because (through Jesus) He took on flesh and lived as one of us. Although He (of course) must understand us from the outside, it is through Jesus that He understands us from our point of view. Truly, the view from inside is different.

My question is this: Did Jesus have a sex drive?
Was he sexually attracted to anyone, female or male? Did he ever masturbate? The list goes on.

If the answer to any of these questions is "no", then God does not truly understand human sexuality. If this is the case, then it is more or less guaranteed that at least some of His edicts regarding human sexuality are flawed.

If the answer to any of these questions is "yes", then there is an even bigger problem for modern mainstream Christianity. The entire Christian view on sex presupposes that the perfect human (Jesus) was essentially sexless. If Jesus was a sexual being, then huge areas of theology and doctrine need to be scrapped or rewritten, and vast untouched areas need to be dealt with. Note that this does not require Jesus to have had sex - I am not willing to state absolutely that sexual intercourse is a prerequisite for understanding human sexuality. However, any male who reaches the age of 33 without ever masturbating does not understand human sexuality; this I am willing to state unequivocally. The history of masturbation and its futile prohibition is a topic for another essay, which I may or may not write.

Incidentally, I shall refrain (for now) from holding forth on the interpretation of "fully human" in relation to sexuality.

As always, intelligent responses are very welcome. If you disagree with me and can support your position, so much the better.
