I’m going to go with yes for Buddha (because he was married to his childhoood sweetheart and they had a child together) before he headed out on his journey of enlightenment.

And yes to Krishna, because he supposedly had 16,108 wives (some he married to save them from imprisonment from some dude named Narakasura. But at least 8 of them were his “regular” wives. Apparently all of his “wives” were considered to be the incarnation of the goddess Lakshmi. And Krishna had a bunch of kids with his wives.

With Jesus, all we know is that he seemed to have a very jovial relationship with the 12 apostles and it is now considered a possibility that he was married and had children with Mary Magdalene, so I’m going to say yes to all 3 fellows.

All of them dealt with it in the same way that modern fellows deal with it. They either go with it and embrace it, go with it and deny that they’ve done it or embraced it, or they deny it, even though they’ve experienced it. And sometimes they feel guilty about it, but most of the time they don’t.

Buddha was just a man, so yes. Krishna walked around as a human, so the answer is yes, too. (you can not ever defeat base physical processes without massive chemical intake)
Jesus never existed, so no.

That’s as hard question.

But to @ragingloli – I think that Jesus did exist, just not as a ‘god’ or a ‘christ’. He was a nice Jewish boy with some radical ideas (like Abbie Hoffman).

And since he had a daughter, he must have gotten aroused at least once.

Of course. This comes from the brain stem. It takes years of hard mental training counter the effects of all primary emotions and instincts, including sexual arousal. It’s impossible for any healthy human being to never experience the primary emotion of anger for example. But we have a conscious choice to limit the anger we feel and not let it turn into rage and hatred. The Buddha and Jesus were advocates of this.

All healthy celibate men who never masturbate will eventually have a wet dream, feeling sexual arousal. Including the Pope. Can’t be avoided.

Jesus was probably not celibate. And none of the gospels mentions that he wanted men to be celibate. This was an invention of the Catholic Church later in history. Jesus designated St. Peter, a married man, to be the first Pope.

@elbanditoroso – The claim that Jesus never existed is a conspiracy theory based on pseudoscience, not mainstream science. Almost all professional historians applying scientific method come to this conclusion: Most likely Jesus existed.

@mattbrowne – I agree, no argument.

Santa Claus: A mythical figure inspired by the 4th century historical figure bishop Nikolaos of Myra

Easter bunny: A pre-Christian fertility symbol

Godzilla and Batman are fictional characters invented in the 20th century.

You know Jesus, after turning water into wine and getting a bit tipsy himself, was totally, “And for my next act, I’m gonna learn me some creationism using only Christ Jr. and Mary’s pearly gates.”

Well, people who expect water to turn into wine also check their wristwatch when someone tells them it’s the eleventh hour.
