Hmmm, obviously people were created in a way that they still experience sexual desire, and can indeed still engage in sex during the early stages of pregnancy. So apparently sex isn't supposed to be merely reproductive. Actually, I think human are the only species that can and does continue to cohabit during pregnancy. I think though that the idea of people being created "male and female" still applies though. Trying to frame the bible account from a more independent perspective. Also, what is interesting is that it says Eve was created from Adam's rib. But that is the translation- it can also be translated from the Hebrew as "side". Literally, Eve was a side of Adam, suggesting that the original "man" was in fact a euphemism for mankind, and had both make and female elements. Therefore sex, and marriage, would be a form of re-unification. Like people suggested earlier in the thread, the literature itself is fascinating, if you don't get bogged down by the dogmatic interpretations some people have been pushing for so long.
