Uh, with all due respect, the only thing Jesus has ever been "accused of," and in some of the Gospels excised from the Bible, no less, was that he was *married* to Mary Magdalene. Which, of course, would have been perfectly acceptable for a rabbi. One should be careful not to project one's modern hangups about sex onto a period of history in which they are inappropriate. As far as I can tell, the myth of Jesus' celibacy was made up long after his death by uptight men to justify their own inability to relate to half of the human race.
