What do you mean by "want"? Did he feel an emotional tug towards sin? Was he tempted by the thought of pleasurable sensation to indulge in vice? For that definition, I would say yes, Jesus endured the same temptations we do, so I would guess that he experienced the same "wanting" of forbidden things. He did not, however, intellectually want to sin, I think. And it was this conscious awareness of the trap laid by his carnal desires which helped him to avoid sin. So from that perspective, no, of course Jesus didn't want to sin.
Like ice cream. I may want a bowl of ice cream, but if I'm trying to lose weight, from another perspective the last thing I want is a bowl of ice cream.
You solved that with record brevity, AB.
