Why going through the new testament nobody ever recorded anything regarding Jesus when he was a teenager going through puberty and growing into a mature man? I think it would be appropriate if men were to follow his example there should be specific examples of how he dealt with sexual drives, etc. since testosterone and hormones play a part in a person's sex life. Why does the scriptures just mention when he was 12 and then skip to when he is a grown adult?

Aren't there some non-canonical books that touch more on Jesus' early life?

Yeah, the Gnostics believe that the Maggi didn't just visit jesus at his birth but continued to guide his learning as a master. Kinda obvious when you think of it. They have waited generations for the fulfillment of astrological prophecies, find the messiah, then just forget him??
They claim jesus went wandering to India, China learning all the wisdom from these ancient civilisations, then returned to enlighten Israel.
Only after fasting and meditating in the wilderness did jesus take on the karma of humanity and realise his full potential and purpose.
Makes a lot more sense than the bible account.

Thats a damn good question! For all we know he could of been some horny little jackrabbit all through his teen years and maybe his Father was a bit embaressed to let us know.
