Excavating the Word of God

In thinking about the presence of sexual intercourse in Eden, I'm struck my Adam's contribution that "true pleasure has to do with engaging in a task that we love to do because we know profoundly that we are doing it very well."

Without getting too graphic, I question why intercourse couldn't fall into that category. In examining mere physiology (assuming the sexes have remained physically identical to their premogenitors), we see that Man and Woman were uniquely and thoughtfully created for each other's bodies. Thus, is it not fair to conclude that intercourse can be a thing in which Man & Woman took immense pleasure, as they could love the fact that were designed to do it and did it very well?

I'm inclined to think that intercourse WAS present, it WAS enjoyable, and it WASN'T sinful. As for the Man's genitals being some kind of limb that he could order about at will, as the only woman currently contributing to the blog at this time, allow me to say, 'Ew.'
