Best Answer

Jesus was not conceived by any man. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit moving over Mary, so you cannot compare it with any human situation. Mary remained a virgin until after Jesus' birth, although married to Joseph for part of the time.

Another answerMary had sex during her and Joseph's engagement (probably with Joseph), which led to the conception of Jesus. To prevent shame to their family and their son, Mary and Joseph used the 'son of God' story to cover up their lusty mistake and then got married.
