"As he was passing by the house where Jeff Thatcher lived, he saw a new girl in the garden – a lovely little blue-eyed creature with yellow hair plaited into two long tails, white summer frock, and embroidered pantalettes. The fresh-crowned hero fell without firing a shot."
– The Adventures of Tom Sawyer
Sometimes I wonder who Jesus's first crush was. It's not really something that we tend to think about, is it? But Jesus was a human being after all. He was a child, and he was a teenager, and he even went through through puberty. At least, I sure hope he did. His voice would have been quite high pitched if he didn't.
As Jesus was almost certainly celibate for his entire time on earth, there isn't really any way of knowing who he was attracted to. However, I think it's an interesting question because it relates to a number of issues such as sexuality, celibacy, Jesus's human nature, and Jesus's mostly unknown childhood and adolescence.
