Did Jesus have sex? [View all]

The last episode of AMC's Preacher started with a bawdy, funny scene of Jesus having sex.

Made me think, wasn't the point of God coming to Earth as Jesus to experience life as a human?

Can one really have the human experience without sex?

I won get into an omniscient being needing to experience something to understand it, nor how a immortal being suffering for a few days a big sacrifice.
