Was Jesus a virgin? And what impact would it have on 21stC spirituality if he were not?
Why are you so interested in spirituality, anyway? Or is this just another of your usual attempts at disproving the validity of religion in general, Christianity in particular? Morality is not defined by sexual behavior alone at any rate. There are immoral sexual acts committed even by those who claim chastity/virginity and goodness in those who are not chaste/virgins. Even the chemically/physically castrated continue committing grave sexual acts against children, for example. Therefore, human behavior transcends superficial misperceptions of allged sexual virtue from the chastity standpoint or morality tied to sexual behavior alone. Jesus' sexual behavior is unkown, but to God.

I dont think it matters too much.His massage is the same whether he was a virgin or not.
It might matter to christians ,who put him up on a pedastal. but to someone like me it would actually reinforce his genuineness more to know he was a real person with a real sex life.
